(名詞) 系列電影 (franchise or movie franchise) 中主角改由較年輕演員擔綱的續集電影。這個字是由 legacy (遺產) + sequel (續集;續篇) 拼綴而成。
註:franchise 這個字在商業上是指「連鎖加盟」,在電影方面則是指由一部電影衍生出的一系列續集的系列電影,如《鋼鐵人》、《蜘蛛人》、《星際大戰》、《亡命關頭》等等。
引句:
Creed is the latest movie in the Rocky film series. It could be considered a legacyquel. A movie that continues a movie series but with a new legacy character.
—Joseph Lalonde, “22 Leadership Lessons And Quotes From Creed (Rocky 7),” jmlalonde.com, November 30, 2015
Considering how well Creed, a movie that passes the torch from one ‘80s action icon to a new generation, is being received by everyone, I wonder if the producers of Kickboxer: Vengeance are regretting making it a remake instead of a legacyquel.
—Peter Hall, “Quick ‘Kickboxer: Vengeance’ Trailer Gets Sweaty With Dave Bautista, Gina Carano, and Jean-Claude Van Damme,” Movies.com, December 2, 2015
