Chad Stahelski is keen to direct a 'Star Wars' film.
Chad Stahelski hopes to make a Star Wars movie
The 'John Wick' filmmaker is a huge fan of the iconic sci-fi franchise and explained that he has ideas in mind for a picture of his own.
Speaking to Josh Horowitz on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, Chad said: "I'm a 'Star Wars' guy. The first 'Star Wars' changed my life path.
"Maybe someday out there, Disney if you're listening, hit me in a couple of years. I have a couple of takes for 'Star Wars'. I'd take a swing at that, see if Disney could survive me."
Chad has only got behind the camera on the four 'John Wick' movies so far and explained that he is reluctant to work on other franchises as he would have to make creative compromises.
He said: "I've been asked a lot about, 'Why do you do John Wicks? Don't you want to try something else?'
"Yes of course I do, but given the choice I've had and the parameters that were presented to me, as far as those opportunities went, I felt like I could do more and bring something more, and do more of what I want, and do the fights and the anime and the action more my way by doing ('John Wick'). Why work within somebody else's parameters of what I feel to be a duel or mythology when I can create."
Chad admits that there is a part of him that struggles to say no when he is offered the chance to make a movie.
The former stuntman said: "It is a big ego dump when you're like, 'Alright, do I think I can take them?'
"I still have a little bit of a competitor mindset left in me. I'm going, 'No that's cool and I'm very flattered and I'm very honoured', but at the same time I want to take a swing. It's like Rocky. I gotta know."
