22 Apr – Five studios are currently having the ultimate death match (well, it’s not as bloody as that...not yet, at least) for the rights to "James Bond".

　　四月二十二號(hào)，五家電影公司展開了最終的死亡競(jìng)賽(好吧，至少現(xiàn)在沒有那么血腥)，來爭(zhēng)取“詹姆斯.邦德”的版權(quán)。

　　According to the New York Times, the contenders are Sony, Warner Bros, Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox and, unexpectedly, the relatively new Annapurna, financed and led by Megan Ellison, the heiress of Oracle.

　　據(jù)紐約時(shí)報(bào)稱，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者有索尼、華納兄弟、環(huán)球影視、20世紀(jì)?？怂?，令人驚訝的是，相對(duì)較新的安納布爾納也參與了競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。這家新興公司由甲骨文公司的梅根.埃里森資助和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。

　　Sony was the last to produce a James Bond film, "Spectre", which was released almost 2 years ago, thus marking the end of their four-film deal. And it’s been a while since they’ve been able to brag about a film that was a hit both domestically and internationally.

　　索尼是這幾家公司最后一個(gè)拍攝詹姆斯.邦德題材電影的，大約在兩年前索尼上映了“幽靈黨”。“幽靈黨”是索尼簽約四部電影中最后一部。現(xiàn)在距離索尼當(dāng)初吹噓自己的作品在國內(nèi)外享有盛譽(yù)已經(jīng)有一段時(shí)間了。

　　Warner Bros. maybe only need James Bond as a safety net, in case one of their current big franchises doesn’t measure up or drops along the way.

　　華納兄弟可能只是需要詹姆斯.邦德作為安全網(wǎng)，以防止他們的特別經(jīng)營權(quán)之一不能達(dá)到預(yù)期標(biāo)準(zhǔn)或者一路下跌。

　　For Universal, the franchise would just be the cherry on top of their already very big and delicious layered cake of franchises that the entire world seems to want a piece of. With the success of "Jurassic World", "Pitch Perfect" and "Fast And Furious", the addition of James Bond could have them giving Disney a run for their money, franchise-wise.

　　通常來說，這個(gè)特別經(jīng)營權(quán)對(duì)于他們已有經(jīng)營權(quán)來說只是錦上添花。隨著“侏羅紀(jì)公園”“完美音調(diào)”“速度與激情”的成功，詹姆斯.邦德的加入可以讓他們?cè)谂c迪士尼進(jìn)行競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，明智之舉。

　　Fox has recently made its mark with hard-core films, like "Logan", "Alien: Covenant" and "Kingsman". A PG-13 James Bond movie would fit in perfectly.

　　?？怂棺罱鞔蚝诵碾娪?，比如“金剛狼”“異形：契約”和“王牌特工”，一個(gè)十三歲限制級(jí)的詹姆斯.邦德電影可以和該公司完美契合。

　　And lastly, for the ambitious Annapurna, landing a Bond would be transformative and an outright show of force. They’re already a force not to be messed with in their own right, with hits like "Her", "American Hustle" and "Sausage Party", but having James Bond in their docket would really kick things off for them.

　　最終，對(duì)于雄心勃勃的安納布爾納來說，插足邦德系列電影是變革性的，也是直接秀肌肉的行為。他們已經(jīng)是一股不會(huì)自亂陣腳的力量，有很多受歡迎的電影，比如“她”“美國騙局”“香腸派對(duì)”。但是擁有一部詹姆斯.邦德的電影會(huì)為他們解決麻煩。
