According to the latest information it is likely that we can have a new film by Willow, the classic fantasy film released in 1988 where a dwarf and a warrior had to protect a girl who was destined to kill an evil queen.
If you are over 30 years old, you may remember the film called Willow, a fantasy story with certain touches of a sense of humor, which marked the youth of millions of people around the world. Well, its director, Ron Howard, who will sound to you because he is also in charge of Han Solo: A Star Wars story, has hinted in his official Twitter account that they are discussing with LucasFilm for a continuation of that movie.
"We are dealing seriously with LucasFilm's friends. Let's cross our fingers, "he says in his Twitter account.
Of course, to produce a new film about Willow would be centered on the girl, that is, the character of Elora Danan who now would be about 30 years. Of course, they imply that Willow himself will continue to have a certain presence, although we will see whether in a testimonial way or with a leading role in the film.
It should be remembered that the original film was starring Warwick Davis, Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley and that he had George Lucas as his main screenwriter. The film is also remembered for the soundtrack that James Horner orchestrated, which you have surely heard on many other occasions.
Today is the fashion to resurrect previous Hollywood productions to the delight of former fans but with the risk that the essence of the classic is lost.
