Wes Anderson on Star Wars.

 Moonrise Kingdom director Wes Anderson talked with Deadline about his latest movie and shared some thoughts on the possibility of him directing a Star Wars movie.

DEADLINE: Star Wars was among the films that influenced you early on. What would the world get if Wes Anderson signed on to direct one of these new Star Wars films Disney will make?

ANDERSON: Well I have a feeling I would probably ultimately get replaced on the film because I don’t’ know if I have all the right action chops. But at least I know the characters from the old films.

DEADLINE: You are not doing a good job of selling yourself as a maker of blockbusters.

ANDERSON: I think you are reading it exactly right.  I don’t think I would do a terrible job at a Han Solo backstory. I could do that pretty well. But maybe that would be better as a short.

Looks like every single director in Hollywood will be asked the same question. No matter how inappropriate they are for the job.
