During a discussion at the Tribeca Film Festival moderated by Stephen Colbert yesterday, George Lucas said that Howard the Duck could end up getting a reboot. He produced the 1986 adaptation that was almost universally panned. Lucas said that even the worst-reviewed films “float up to the surface of the lake, and then they become cult classics. … It means you made an interesting movie or a weird movie, and a small group of people love it.”
He said: “Even Howard the Duck is a cult classic. I have a feeling that Marvel’s gonna redo it because of the technology they have today. I told the producer and writer it’s not gonna work. … You can’t put a dwarf in a duck suit and make it work!”
In a previous interview with Empire, Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn said Howard’s appearance in the film was suggested by the editor during post-production. He added: “We decided to do it very late in the game, only a couple of months [before release], and we had to design Howard that day.”
Since then, Marvel launched a new Howard comic earlier this year. Lucas said of the Guardians role: “It’s a digital duck. When you have a digital duck, you can do anything. You can make it act.”
