Osgood Perkins is on a bit of a roll right now with Longlegs and The Monkey, two of the best horror movies of the last five years. He's just pitched something in the Star Wars universe concerning Darth Vader that would be totally unlike anything we've seen from a galaxy far, far away thus far.
Answering fan questions in a Reddit AMA, someone asked Perkins if there’s a story he wishes he had the money and technology to make into a movie. His answer: "The collected dreams and nightmares of Darth Vader told as short stories."
Now there's an interesting idea. Something that goes deep on the psychology of the iconic Star Wars villain, exploring what’s bubbling away in the recesses of his mind, all depicted through surreal dream logic where anything can happen and nothing is safe.
All Anakin's sadness and rage; at losing his mother and Padmé and his contempt for the Jedi, the unending pain of his injuries, and whatever influence the Emperor holds over his psyche. It’d put one of the most well-known and beloved characters in cinema history in a new light, that’s for sure.
