The Director Of 2025's Wildest Horror Wants To Make A Darth Vader Movie
Briefly

Writer-director Osgood Perkins is noted for his diverse horror films. His latest endeavor, Longlegs, contrasts vastly with previous work, leaning heavily toward gory elements while remaining part of the horror genre. Perkins' upcoming film, Keeper, promises a darker and more sophisticated narrative. Additionally, in a Reddit AMA, he expressed a desire to create a Star Wars project centered on Darth Vader's psychological journey, echoing ongoing fan interest in the character. The increasing presence of Vader in media suggests a fertile ground for this exploration.
In a recent Reddit AMA, Perkins revealed the one project he'd love to make if money was no issue, citing Darth Vader as his ideal subject matter.
Each project Perkins takes on, while firmly embedded in horror, is a departure from the last, indicating his diverse approach to storytelling within the genre.
Perkins described his next film Keeper as 'much darker, quieter,' and 'more sophisticated,' suggesting an evolution in his filmmaking style and thematic focus.
With shows like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka reigniting interest in Darth Vader, Perkins’ concept of exploring Vader’s psyche could resonate well with fans.
