The Lionsgate project appears to be swinging and missing over buyers’ worries a
bout how it might affect relationships with the MLB.
狮门影业的这项计画似乎因为潜在买家担心会影响与MLB的关系而陷入困境
As Shohei Ohtani leads the Los Angeles Dodgers to this year’s World Series, Lio
nsgate Television has found it challenging to set up its scripted series about t
he phenom’s gambling scandal. According to one source close the project, acquis
ition executives are concerned that taking on the project might damage their par
ent companies’ current or future relationships with Major League Baseball.
随着大谷翔平率领洛杉矶道奇队打进今年的世界大赛，狮门在推动的一部以他赌博丑闻为题
材的剧集时遇上了挑战，据接近该项目的消息人士透露，许多主管担心若接手这个项目，可
能会损害母公司与MLB现有或未来的合作关系
Disney, Apple and Warner Bros. Discovery have media rights deals with the league
worth hundreds of millions each year. Netflix and Comcast are themselves in adv
anced negotiations for their own pacts. Paramount, which has NFL and UFC rights,
is also considered a natural home for baseball.
迪士尼、苹果与华纳兄弟探索都与MLB签有价值数亿美元的转播权合约；Netflix与Comcast
则正在就自家的合作协议进行深入谈判，拥有NFL与UFC转播权的派拉蒙也被视为与棒球界关
系密切的潜在平台
The team behind the Ohtani project, announced in May 2024, includes producer Sco
tt Delman (HBO’s Station Eleven) and writer Alex Convery, who’s become a go-to
for sports dramas since breaking out with the Ben Affleck-directed Air, about M
ichael Jordan and his Nike partnership. (Convery’s next project is a Tiger Wood
s biopic to be helmed by the director of the Venus and Serena Williams origin st
ory King Richard.)
这部大谷翔平题材影集于2024年5月宣布制作，幕后团队包括制作人Scott Delman(代表作为
HBO的《Station Eleven》）以及编剧Alex Convery——他自从编写讲述Michael Jordan与N
ike合作故事的电影《Air》后，便成为体育题材剧本的热门人选，Convery的下一个项目是
一部由《王者理查》导演执导的老虎伍兹传记电影
A previous report over the summer suggested that Starz, long a division of Lions
gate, was nearing a deal for the series. The network became a separate public co
mpany in May.
早前的报导指出，长期隶属于狮门集团的Starz电视网一度接近与该剧签约；不过该电视网
已于今年5月分拆为独立上市公司
“We’re not going to discuss who we’re talking to and who we’re not, but we’
ve never heard any concerns about offending Major League Baseball from anyone wi
th whom we’ve spoken about the project,” says a Lionsgate spokesperson.
狮门影业发言人表示
“我们不会讨论目前正在与谁洽谈、与谁没有洽谈，但我们从未听过任何人表示担心这个项
目会冒犯大联盟”
这东西到底要拍怎样的内容啊@@
