Emilio Estevez came out publicly and said he wants to reboot the Mighty Ducks — again. Mike, Tommy, and Kevin break down all of his comments, including the bombs he lobbed at those who made Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, and whether this could actually happen. They then move on to cast their stars for their fake The Conway movie.
Show Notes and Emilio Estevez’s pitch to reboot the Mighty Ducks
Here is the full article in which Emilio Estevez talked to UPI on rebooting the Mighty Ducks.
Some key passages from the article:
On Game Changers: “(It) didn’t pay the proper homage to the movies. The fans were the first ones to tell us that. That is really the reason why I didn’t return for the second season.”
Also on Game Changers: “It was painful to go to work on that set every day. It just was the writing and the execution.”
On bringing Joshua Jackson back: “He’s an actor who I hope to re-team with at some point in the future, maybe on the next Ducks movie or TV show. To bring Josh back in, that’s how we would start to get it right.”
One note on Joshua Jackson: he recently did a press tour for his new series, Fatal Attraction. One of the things that he brought up in that press tour is that he was attracted to this project is because it had a definitive end. He doesn’t want to do an ongoing series. That might make a D4 movie more attractive to him vs. a whole new series.
The Conway Casting
If you have no idea what we’re talking about in the second half of this episode, you’re going to want to listen to our previous episode, where we pitched our second movie of the Mighty Ducks Universe: The Conway.
Here is Tommy’s slideshow with all the actors available to be cast in The Conway.
Here is where Jake Gyllenhaal talks about not getting to do the Mighty Ducks:
Snoop Dogg is very serious about buying the Senators. His comments on the NHL’s marketing via The Athletic: “They don’t know how to market. Like McDavid, he’s the number one hockey player in the world. Why doesn’t he have commercials everywhere?”
