00:00Sean Levy is teasing that there's a moment in Deadpool 3 that's inspired by Star Wars.
00:05While promoting his latest project, All the Light We Cannot See,
00:08the director and executive producer of the Netflix limited series
00:11offered a glimpse into how one of his next big projects, Deadpool 3,
00:15will pay tribute to another franchise universe he loves and is developing a feature for.
00:20The tease comes from a new essay for Esquire,
00:22in which Levy addresses the state of moviegoing
00:24and emphasizes his belief in the future of the theatrical release.
00:27He begins the essay recalling a memory of seeing 1983's Return of the Jedi in the theater,
00:32and this scene that elicited a pin-drop silence from the audience.
00:36If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will.
00:45Levy goes on to weave his experience seeing this film into a larger commentary
00:49about the power of blockbusters and their ability to bring people together.
00:53At the end of the essay, Levy revealed how Deadpool 3 will pay tribute to that scene.
00:57He recalled,
00:58For one key scene in the movie, I said to my stunt and action team,
01:01Guys, this is the Jedi moment.
01:03I pulled up that scene of Vader and Luke on my phone
01:05and restudied how it was photographed, how it was blocked, the framing, the tempo.
01:10He continued,
01:10The keen Star Wars fan will see the shot in my Deadpool movie
01:13that was inspired by a moment that I saw in a theater decades ago.
01:17That's a forever memory.
01:18And that's a treasure.
