Emilio Estevez is making some large revelations in his newest interview, the place he discusses writing a brand new Mighty Ducks sequel and shares his expertise on the set of St. Elmo’s Fire.
One of Estevez’s most memorable roles was enjoying Coach Bombay within the 1992 movie The Mighty Ducks. The actor reprised his position within the Disney+ sequence The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, however left the present after the primary season because of “nothing more than a good old-fashioned contract dispute” in addition to “a myriad of creative differences.”
In a brand new interview with Josh Horowitz for the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Estevez mentioned he “wrote Mighty Ducks 4.”
“I wanted to make up for all of the disasters that happened on the Game Changers series,” he mentioned.
Estevez mentioned the “feature script” would have “Coach Bombay coming back [and] being pulled back in by Josh Jackson’s character and Kenan Thompson’s character to coach a new team: an expansion team for the professional women’s hockey league. So it would be an all-girl team.”
The actor goes into element that “when we discover Bombay, he’s coaching roller derby, and so he says, ‘My girls are going with me. They have to have a shot.’ And it was charming, and contemporary, and cool.”
Despite his enthusiasm for a Mighty Ducks sequel, Estevez mentioned that Disney instructed him that they didn’t need to pursue that concept.
During the identical interview, Horowitz requested Estevez for “the worst note a director has ever given” him, which made him recall his time on the set of 1985’s St. Elmo’s Fire.
“Have a good f***ing time,” Estevez mentioned, director Joel Schumacher instructed him because the filmmaker was “screaming at the top of his lungs.”
“To go from John Hughes [director of The Breakfast Club], who was collaborative, who was a mentor in many ways, who was calm, listened, to Joel, who was wildly insecure and was a nightmare on set and was a bully… And to have that happen in the same year was, and I vowed never to speak to my actors that way if I ever got a chance to direct. In 1984, I thought this was the best lesson a young actor who wants to direct could ever get. Thank you Joel,” Estevez mentioned.
