Recently, Kylo Ren actor Adam Driver confirmed that he helped out in the Star Wars movie focusing on his character (The hunt for ben solo) That disney was rejected in the end. This led to reports of other movies set in a Galaxy far, far away, including a sequel to Rise of Skywalker That would be directed by David Fincher.
Unfortunately, this project died because Disney didn’t give Fincher the final cut. This was something he learned to ask for after a traumatic mentoring experience Alien 3.
A New Hope?
This information comes to us courtesy of Jeff Sneider, an industry insider with more than a few successful scoops under his belt. According to Sneider, Fincher was working on a post-Tros movie that didn’t focus on an existing Star Wars character.
He didn’t specify which character it was, but the point is moot. Fincher’s discussion with Disney reportedly broke out because he asked Disney about the final cut of the film, and the studio flatly rejected his request.
While Sneider didn’t explicitly make this connection, it seems clear that David Fincher wanted the final cut of his movie to star because of his experience Alien 3. That blockbuster was the director’s first feature-length film (previously, he shot music videos), but he suspected that the studio interfered with his idea of creating an entire product.
Later, he narrated the movie entirely and refused to help create the director’s cut. The closest thing we have Alien 3 To cut the meeting, the best film ever was cut together using Fincher’s original room notes.
Refusal to join the dark side
That brings us full circle to Fincher’s Stort Star movie. At one point, it seemed that directing an installment of this beloved Sci-Fi franchise was inevitable: Return of the jedi it was the first movie he ever worked on as a crew member, and he was also offered the job of directing Power awakens. He declined at the time, saying he didn’t want the pressure of creating a new movie in a popular franchise; If you look at it all (quite rightly) back) they are behind JJ Abrams Rise of SkywalkerFincher may have made the right call.
However, Jeff Sneider’s report suggests that Fincher found his fear and decided to achieve a Star Wars movie. Maybe he changed his mind because Tros was such a big deal that following him wouldn’t disappoint anyone, or maybe he just believed in the power of his narrative (Sneider says the story was Fincher’s idea). Either way, if Disney did turn around and let this man have his final cut (something he learned to look for in his time Alien 3) Therefore, we may have had one of the best Star Wars movies ever made.
HOLLYWOOD belongs to the king
Disney made a huge mistake because, at the risk of sounding like a fanboy, Fincher is – amazing Director: like movies Club fight, I’m gone girlagain The girl with the dragon tattoohe created a revolution in visual writing that completely changed pop culture zeitterist culture. It’s movies like that Se7en and The ZodiacHe proved himself to be the King of the Stylish Killer Killer the story calls him. On top of that, Social network It has been proven that Fincher can do the impossible by changing a person’s life like Mark Zuckerberg in an impossible cinema.
After the failure of the sequel trilogy and the inclusion of high-profile shows The Book of Boba Fett and The acolyteIt’s clear that star wars is in a creative place. Getting a new movie from one of the biggest directors in Hollywood, like David Fincher, could have turned things around and empowered the franchise like never before. After turning his back on him, star wars will continue to blow, and disney is made to hear the same claim of the emperor of palpatine that he once promised to Luke Skywalker: to pay the price of his lack of vision.
