'WILLOW' TO BECOME
TV SERIES AT DISNEY PLUS?
It seems Disney's new streaming service does not want Amazon and Netflix to win the race at the epic fantasy series front so they're preparing a
TV series adaptation of famous 80's fantasy hit WILLOW. Or at least that is what Ron Howard said recently, revealing that he and George Lucas might turn the famous film into a series at Disney +, but he said the show would be built around the older, wiser Willow and other characters, and that it would be more intimate. Famous fantasy classic had Warwick Davis portraying a reluctant farmer who protects a baby with special powers from a tyrannical queen who sees a threat to her rule and world domination plans in her. The film also starred Val Kilmer as a wizard. As you know, Amazon is preparing Lord of the Rings series with a $1 billion budget and also The Wheel of Time, while Netflix is preparing The Witcher saga, The Last Airbender and Shadow and Bone and Arthurian saga Cursed.
