GUILLERMO DEL TORO OPENS UP ABOUT ABANDONED STAR WARS FILM

Before we get into this news, we at Macabre Daily would like to wish the maestro of the macabre himself, GUILLERMO DEL TORO, a very happy birthday! Not only is he one of our favorite filmmakers, he is also a true horror fan at his very core!

On the heels of the news that he is producing his own version of FRANKENSTEIN, Del Toro opened up at a panel event talking about an abandoned STAR WARS project featuring everyones favorite intergalactic gangster, Jabba the Hutt.

From the article over at THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER:

“We had the rise and fall of Jabba the Hutt, so I was super happy,” he said during the recent Collider event. “We were doing a lot of stuff, and then it’s not my property, it’s not my money, and then it’s one of those 30 screenplays that goes away. Sometimes I’m bitter, sometimes I’m not. I always turn to my team and say, ‘Good practice, guys. Good practice. We designed a great world. We designed great stuff. We learned.'”

With the continued success of the Star Wars franchise in long-form episodic TV format, who knows if GDT will ever get a chance to give his take on that galaxy far far away!
