WOW I REMEMBER THE FIRST ONE as a kid




Warwick Davis recently stopped by the IGN office to discuss, amongst other things, his work on the Star Wars films and his recently published autobiography 'Size Matters Not'.

While we had him at our mercy, we tossed Warwick a few questions about the enduringly popular fantasy flick Willow, in which he starred opposite Val Kilmer as an aspiring sorcerer charged with the task of protecting Elora Danan - a magical baby at the heart of a mystical prophecy.



According to Davis, producer George Lucas and director Ron Howard told him at the Attack of the Clones premiere that there had been plans for a TV spin-off, but they were shelved some years back.

Davis is still keen on a sequel however. "I'd love to revisit the character of Willow" he explained. "When we left him at the end of the movie, he was getting alright at sorcery - using illusionary magic to fool the queen at the end - so has he got better at that? The books kind of discussed the future, but it would be nice to see what's happened to Elora Danan and all that stuff."

He continued "It would be great because we've established the world now, and the rules within the world, so let's go back and have some fun."

So would you be keen to see Warwick revisit Willow? If so feel free to chime in below and we'll start the campaign here!

I don't know. But given the choice of being Madmartegan or the Governor of Mexico, which would you choose?

I've never seen the first Willow. I don't like Val Kilmer as an actor, as he typically comes across smug or arrogant on screen to me.

If they do film adaptations of the Willow sequel-trilogy of novels I would be all for it... if its something else... meh.

The first is a cult classic, back when George Lucus could tell a good story and didn't get addicted to CGI. It's quite am enjoyable, feel good peice and a gripping film and worth checking out at least once.

Kilmer plays a character like what you mention in the film, but it's played for laughs most of the time. In fact the first ten minutes of his preformance is pretty hillarious. He's essentially Crazy Awesome. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrazyAwesome) He steals the show really. He and Warrick Davis make for a great pairing.

If they made a Willow 2 I would definately check it out. Hopefully if they can keep the look and feeling of the setting intact.

This is one of those films that just needs to be left alone - sequel-wise. It's a great movie and had a lot of fun and to try and recreate that now would be impossible - especially with GL at the helm.

I take it you've not read the books.
