Margot Robbie pitched the idea of BIRDS OF PREY to DC and Warner Bros. as a female-led superhero action movie and they agreed with her vision. "I think there's a perception that a PG female-led action film is kind of considered a chick flick," says Robbie, which is why we're going to see an R-rated version of the story. In addition to starring in the upcoming movie, Robbie is also on board as producer with her LuckyChap production company, so her hands are all over the project. BIRDS OF PREY is LuckyChap's largest project to date at $75 million.
This is a spin-off of a character originally created as a love interest for the Joker, a character previously played by Jack Nicholson and Mark Hamill. Ewan McGregor has another connection to both actors. Mark Hamill played Luke Skywalker jn the original STAR WARS trilogy, while McGregor played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequels. Nicholson appeared in THE SHINING (1980), while McGregor appeared in the sequel, DOCTOR SLEEP (2019). |
