Here's What We Learned at the 'Directors On Directing' Panel at SDCC
The Big Picture At San Diego Comic-Con 2023, Collider's Editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub assembled three of the most exciting directors working today: Louis Leterrier, who stepped in to direct Fast X, the latest high-octane installment in the Fast Saga after the departure of the original director; Justin Simien, whose adaptation of the iconic Disney ride Haunted Mansion hits theaters next week; and Gareth Edwards, whose upcoming film The Creator wound up being more topical than anticipated...
Eager to pay Jackson back, Edwards invited him out to the set of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story a few years later, and Jackson's visit could not have been better timed: he arrived on set just in time to watch the now-famous hallway sequence with Darth Vader. Of the moment, Edwards said: What's a Dream IP Without Some Dancing? While all three of the director's have had the opportunity to direct some impressive IP, from Star Wars to the Fast Saga to Haunted Mansion, Weintraub asked them all what IP they would direct if they could. While Edwards was hesitant to answer, saying he was currently in the process of making this particular dream come true, Simien was ready with his answer: The Wiz. He told the panel "The Wiz was the first movie I ever saw.
"It's called Yellowstone Falls. It's after the fall of of civilization, and every human is a zombie. It's when the zombies have nothing else to eat but animals, they turn on the animals. And it's the story of a wolf pack, the alpha wolf gets killed. It would have been the most complicated movie to direct because it was real wolves. It was like a wolf mother and three pups crossing Yellowstone, chased by a horde of zombies, the lead being Danny McBride.
