James Mangold says his axed Boba Fett film was “more of a borderline R-rated, single planet spaghetti Western.” “At the point I was doing it I was probably scaring the s--- out of everyone,” he said.
. He was also set to co-write the project with Simon Kinberg, best known as a writer and producer on the “X-Men” movies.
“At the point I was doing it I was probably scaring the shit out of everyone,” Mangold said. “I was making much more of a borderline R-rated, single planet spaghetti Western. They probably would never be able to embrace Baby Yoda if I had made that. It didn’t really belong in the world I was kind of envisioning.”
“In a moment of corporate realignment or whatever happened with the Han Solo movie, they just suddenly decided they weren’t making pictures like that, and the opportunities in streaming presented themselves,” Mangold said. “I was just listening to [spaghetti Western composer] Ennio Morricone all day, all night, and typing away. I’m not sure it ever would have happened. I’m not sure it was in anyone’s plans, what I was thinking.
