James Cameron to skip premiere for ‘Avatar 2’ due to Covid-19

詹姆斯．卡麥隆驚傳確診將不出席「阿凡達2」的電影首映會

(CNN) — It’s a sequel 13 years in the making, but James Cameron will have to sit the premiere out.

(CNN新聞) — 續集的製作期間長達13年，而詹姆斯．卡麥隆卻必須缺席首映會。

The “Avatar: The Way of Water” director will not be in attendance at Monday’s premiere for the film in Los Angeles after testing positive for Covid-19, according to a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

根據好萊塢的記者聲明，「阿凡達：水之道」的導演因新冠肺炎快篩陽性，將不會參加星期一在洛杉磯舉辦的電影首映會。

“Jim has COVID but is feeling fine. He tested positive as part of a routine testing cadence. He will continue to complete his schedule virtually but will not be at the premiere,” a Disney spokesperson told the outlet.

「詹姆斯確診了，但他的身體狀況良好。他在做例行性快篩時測出陽性。他會用遠端形式繼續完成他的行程，但不會出席首映會」迪士尼發言人告知媒體。

CNN has reached out to Disney and representatives for Cameron.

CNN聯繫到迪士尼與卡麥隆的代理人。

The director, who has been traveling around the world attending premieres for the highly anticipated movie, initially revealed his positive result while virtually attending the new “Pressure: James Cameron into the Abyss” exhibit opening at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County on Sunday night, according to THR.

根據THR報導，這位導演正如火如荼飛往世界各地參與這部備受矚目的電影的首映會。而他也搶先公開以遠端方式參加周日晚上在洛杉磯自然歷史博物館盛大開展的「深海壓力：詹姆斯．卡麥隆探索深淵」。

On a Zoom presentation, Cameron said he wanted to “apologize to everyone who’s gathered there tonight. I can’t be at my own party.”

在Zoom的展示演說中，卡麥隆說他想要「向在場共襄盛舉的各位說聲抱歉。我沒辦法參加我自己的派對。」

He went on to say that he “started to feel kind of heavy” while traveling back from Tokyo.

接著他說他從東京回來的路上「開始感到有些沉重」。

“I got tested and sure enough I have COVID, so obviously I can’t be there, jeopardizing other people,” he added.

「我做了篩檢後確定我已經確診了，所以我當然不能在那裡傳染給其他人。」他補充。

Cameron previously directed 2009’s “Avatar,” which took home three Oscars and became the world’s highest-grossing film.

卡麥隆先前在2009年執導的「阿凡達」，獲得三座奧斯卡獎並成為全球票房最高的電影。

The celebrated filmmaker told CNN’s Jason Carroll in September how the sequel is different from the original, saying, “I think it’s more emotional than the first film.”

知名的電影製作人在9月時告訴CNN的傑森卡羅關於這部續集跟首部有什麼不同。他說：「我覺得續集比起第一部，情感方面豐富許多。」

He added that the new movie, which takes the action on Pandora to the exotic planet’s oceans, “focuses more on character and relationship dynamics than the first film did, but it definitely delivers on the spectacle.”

他補充說道，這部新電影，場景集中在潘朵拉星球上的外星海洋，「比第一部電影更加聚焦在角色情感間的碰撞，但同時絕對也少不了宏偉壯觀的場景。」
