Gareth Edwards, Justin Simien & Louis Leterrier on the IP They Would Tackle
It's no secret that much of today's film and television pulls from pre-existing IP, whether it's remaking movies such as Disney's animated to live-aciton pipeline, adapting books, tackling popular video games, and more. While some creators in the industry opt for original content, others are excited at the chance to make something old new again.
Justin Simien, who directed the upcoming Haunted Mansion, kicked off the responses, sharing that he would love to remake The Wiz, itself a remake of The Wizard of Oz. Simien revealed The Wiz is "the first movie I ever saw. So by the time I saw The Wizard of Oz, I didn't understand why they had made a white version of The Wiz, like I truly didn't get it." He added that The Wiz created what his understanding was, noting how "it was a Black-centric universe.
Gareth Edwards, director of the upcoming The Creator, responded next, but his answer was much more cryptic. He revealed that there is an IP he plans to work on, saying that he already "contacted the people. I know the people that own the IP. I'm trying to do it. I say it out loud it won't happen, so I'm gonna keep that bit quiet." So, for now, audiences will just have to wait and see what Edwards is cooking up.
