Star Wars har stort set altid fastholdt en relativt familievenlig tone, og har afholdt sig alt for megen eksplicit vold. Dog har Ryan Reynolds haft for vane at producere netop R-ratede projekter der klarer sig decideret glimrende i biograferne.
Så kan det være at de to størrelser skal forene deres kræfter? Det mener Reynolds, for han har fortalt Box Office Podcast at han for nylig har pitchet et R-rated Star Wars-projekt til Disney, dog uden ham selv på rollelisten.
"I pitched to Disney, I said, 'Why don't we do an R-rated Star Wars property?' It doesn't have to be like, an overt, A+ characters... there's a wide range of characters you could use. I don't mean R-rated to be vulgar. R-rated is a Trojan Horse for emotion, and I always wonder why studios don't want to just gamble on something like that."
Han mener at Star Wars burde kunne overraske, og at licensen har mistet den evne:
"I would want to produce and write, or be a part of behind-the-scenes. Those kinds of IP subsist really well on scarcity and surprise. We don't get scarcity, really, with Star Wars because there's Disney+, but you can certainly still surprise people."
Hvad tænker du om ideen?
