'Willow’s' Creators Debate Making A New 'Willow' Movie After Its Disney+ Series

Cinema Blend

Quite a few legacy-quels have hit the Disney+ platform in the past couple of months. The TV schedule has been especially active in this field, as two fan-favorite franchises have been revived through limited series: The Santa Clauses and now Willow. While creators Jon Kasdan and Michelle Rejwan are proud of their place in the streaming lineup, it seems that they have ambitions of bringing this long-dormant world back to theaters.

00:00 We're big advocates of that.

00:02 And one thing that I think we're both fantasizing about

00:05 as the future of this whole business we're in

00:08 is that maybe there's the possibility

00:10 that the train can go the other way a little bit.

00:13 And sometimes these series can culminate

00:15 in theatrical experiences that you need to see in a theater.

00:19 I think, you know, Benioff and Weiss wanted that

00:22 with "Game of Thrones."

00:23 I think there's lots of opportunity to do that.

00:26 And we'd love to see that happen.

00:28 I think Disney would too, ultimately.

00:30 There's so many cool new storytelling possibilities

00:33 out there.

00:34 So it's been, we feel very lucky that we got to do this

00:39 Yeah.

00:39 Right, I mean, there's just so many more

00:42 creative opportunities that afforded us

00:44 over the eight chapters and just incredible,

00:48 imaginative, like endlessly imaginative ideas

00:51 that come out of my friend John here

00:53 that we got to do in just one season.

00:55 So it's pretty cool to, you know,

00:57 we're both, Michelle and I come from the movies.

01:00 So like, you know, I'm counting the days

01:03 till "Avatar" comes out.

01:04 I'm a devotee of the cineplex.

01:06 And "Willow" for me was, you know,

01:08 it was a very formative movie going experience

01:11 because it was so big and so epic.
