Taika Waititi, a filmmaker, is often involved in many different projects. It's easy to forget about one or two. You may recall that he is directing Thor: Love and Thunder and that he was supposed to star in a Star Wars film. He is a villain in the Ryan Reynolds film Free Guy. He also produces What We Do In the Shadows. This series will return for its third season. Did you know that in summer 2019, news broke that he was working to make an animated Flash Gordon film. It did and there's an update today.AdvertisementCollider spoke to John Davis, a producer who is working on Waititi's project. He said that the filmmakers' vision for the film was no longer animated. The producer stated that Taika is the one who will be writing it. Growing up, it was a film that had a profound influence on him. He loves it. He said it to me at first. But then he changed his mind and said, "Lets make it animated." I replied, "Okay." Then, we started working on it.It's one thing to say it; it's another to actually find the time to do it, especially for a director as busy as Waititi. Davis believes that he has an advantage in his struggle to get Waititi to direct. He is writing it. If someone writes a script they are going to direct, it is likely that they will like it. So you get a big leg up, right? Davis said. You often find yourself in a situation where a director has a script from someone else and must rewrite it. They have to make it theirs. They have to do whatever it takes. This will be Taika-ready.What does this mean? What will Taika's version of the classic 1980 film be like? It is based on a 1930s serial which influenced nearly everyone involved in sci-fi, including George Lucas. Davis stated that he has the most fascinating vision for this movie. It is very similar to the original comics concept.io9 reached out for clarification and comment from Waititi, but he was not aware of the information. We will keep you posted if more information becomes available. For now, however, be aware that we may get a Taika Waititi Star Wars film in the future. We might also get his version.
