As I was saying, Thompson sat down for a fireside chat with Inquisitr. During their talk, the SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL star said that she plans to pitch a new HOWARD THE DUCK movie to Marvel in as little as three weeks from now. What? You don't believe me? Psssh, read it and weep:
"Oh my god, from your lips to God's ears," Thompson said. "I don't know. To tell you the actual truth, I am going to Marvel to pitch Howard the Duck, a new movie. In like three weeks. I want to direct the Howard the Duck remake. Why not dream big, right?"
While I'm not sure that Marvel has room in their schedule for a new HOWARD THE DUCK movie, I certainly admire Thompson's moxie in thinking that she can get it made. In truth, the cigar-chomping, wise-cracking bird in a fedora has seen something of a resurgence over the past few years thanks in-part to the efforts of comic book creators Chip Zdarsky and Joe Quinones. With that in mind, is a HOWARD THE DUCK film revival truly out of the question? Probably, though I must remind you all that stranger things have happened.
"You know, Howard the Duck is so beloved for being so maligned," Thompson remarked to Inquisitr. "I go to conventions, I go to do Back to the Future panels with Michael Fox and Chris Lloyd and Tom Wilson. I sit there, and I meet the fans, and a good one-third of them say 'I am the only person who liked Howard the Duck.' It's hilarious."
