David Fincher står bakom några av de bästa filmerna vi sett, oavsett genre (The Social Network, Fight Club, The Game & Seven) och det hade därmed varit fantastiskt att se en Star Wars-film signerat karlns klockrena, stilistiska regi/kameraarbete. Tydligen blev han tillfrågad för ett tag sedan av Lucasfilm-bossen Kathleen Kennedy, men tackade nej. I en nygjord intervju med filmblaskan Empire berättar han varför:
"I talked to Kathleen Kennedy about that and look, it's a plum assignment. I don't know what's worse: being George Lucas on the set of the first one where everyone's going, 'Alderaan? What the hell is this?' Where everyone's making fun, but I can't imagine the kind of intestinal fortitude one has to have following up the success of these last two. That's a whole other level. One is that you have to endure the withering abuse of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, and the other is you have to live up to a billion or a billion-five, and that becomes its own kind of pressure. You'd have to really clear your head, I think. You'd have to really be sure this is what you wanted to do because either way it's two years of your life, 14 hours a day, seven days a week." Länk
Hade du velat se en Star Wars-spinoff signerat Fincher?
Tänk dig denna film, fast grön och mycket mörkare...
