‘John Wick’ Director Wants to ‘Take a Swing at’ Making a ‘Star Wars’ Film: ‘I Have a Couple of Takes’

Valerie Wu Intern “John Wick” director Chad Stahelski says he wants to “take a swing” at making a “Star Wars” film. In a recent interview with “Happy Sad Confused” host Josh Horowitz, the action-thriller director opened up about a potential franchise he wants to be a part of in the future, bringing up the sci-fi favorite. “I’m a ‘Star Wars’ guy, like, the first ‘Star Wars’ changed my life,” said Stahelski. “Maybe someday out there.

Disney, if you’re listening, hit me in a couple of years and I have a couple of takes for ‘Star Wars.'” “I’d take a swing at that.

I challenge you … see if Disney could survive me,” he added. That, however, is an idea for the future. During the interview, Stahelski brought up a project that he has right now in the works: “We’re currently trying to develop a ‘John Wick’ TV series and Lionsgate has been very cool about backing us.

We just started getting into the nitty gritty when the strikes all happened … hopefully maybe in this TV series we can bring back some of the people we love.” “John Wick: Chapter 4” ended ambiguously with little confirmation as to whether or not John Wick (Keanu Reeves) was dead, raising questions as to whether or not there would be a follow-up installment.
