Ken with news via Joblo, on a WILLOW sequel finally coming to fruition….Maybe.
To encapsulate:
Ron Howard is working on a sequel to WILLOW.
Jon Kasdan (SOLO) has written an inspired take on a “more mature Willow.”
This will not be a movie and instead be a television show hopefully debuting on Disney+.
Warwick Davis will star in the sequel.
It’s all discussion for now, until it isn’t.
WILLOW is one of those beloved films. I adored it when it came out, showed it to my kids who found it very mediocre. What do they know? No telling, how some kids are raised these days.
It’s a tale very akin to THE HOBBIT. A loner who wants more out of his life finds his calling by joining the fight against evil. I know, you thought I was going to attack their height.
While I loved WILLOW originally, I don’t want to see a sequel without an overweight and terribly aged Madmartigan (Val Kilmer). It was his banter with WILLOW that helped make the entire adventure so easy to digest.
Who else wants a WILLOW sequel?
Do you like the television format over a movie in theaters?
With special effects at a golden age, this could really be some cool ass news!
Til next time Kids
