(美国.洛杉矶21日讯)漫威(Marvel)超级漫画英雄片《银河守护队》(Guardians of the Galaxy)系列导演占士昆恩(James Gunn),因被翻炒出10年前在推特涉及恋童癖和强暴等不雅言论,突然被迪士尼和漫威炒掉!在传出他被炒的消息后,他发表声明,表达他对过往言论的后悔和歉意,亦表示明白和接受迪士尼的决定。
占士昆恩2008至2011年之间的一些不当推特近日被保守派网站The Daily Caller挖出,虽然他已删除了自己1万多条推特,但仍然挡不住网民炮火。他之后通过推特回应此事,并真挚道歉:“不管时间过了多久,我理解并接受今天做出的商业决定。即使是这么多年以后,我仍然对我当时的行为负责。对于我所在行业内外的每一个人,我再次向他们表示深深的歉意。爱所有的人。”
《Deadline》报道,漫威母公司迪士尼宣布与占士昆恩断绝商业关系,原因是“他的言论和价值观不符合迪士尼的价值观”。占士昆恩过往为漫威拍过两集《银河守护队》,虽然片商从未正式宣布他是第3集的导演,但他去年曾宣布他将继续担任《银河守护队3》的导演和编剧,而《Collider》亦报道他上个月已写完电影剧本。电影本来预计于明年展开拍摄,相信这次事件将严重影响电影的制作。
1. Many people who have followed my career know when I started, I viewed myself as a provocateur, making movies and telling jokes that were outrageous and taboo. As I have discussed publicly many times, as I’ve developed as a person, so has my work and my humor.

2. It’s not to say I’m better, but I am very, very different than I was a few years ago; today I try to root my work in love and connection and less in anger. My days saying something just because it’s shocking and trying to get a reaction are over.

3. In the past, I have apologized for humor of mine that hurt people. I truly felt sorry and meant every word of my apologies.

4. For the record, when I made these shocking jokes, I wasn’t living them out. I know this is a weird statement to make, and seems obvious, but, still, here I am, saying it.

5. Anyway, that’s the completely honest truth: I used to make a lot of offensive jokes. I don’t anymore. I don’t blame my past self for this, but I like myself more and feel like a more full human being and creator today. Love you to you all.
