The future of Star Wars on the big screen remains largely mysterious right now. We know Disney and Lucasfilm intend to bring us something new following the conclusion of the Skywalker saga in last year's The Rise of Skywalker.

Beyond that, the floodgates seem wide open and ripe with possibility. If they want to do something really different, Scott Derrickson has an idea; make an R-rated Star Wars horror movie.

Scott Derrickson, best known as the director of Doctor Strange, was recently asked what kind of Star Wars movie he would make, given the chance. Derrickson, before making his trip to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, directed horror movies such as Sinister and The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Scott Derrickson has since deleted his tweet about wanting to make this Hoth-based Star Wars film, and made the comment in response to a fan asking which kind of Star Wars movie he'd make - but he says that it will never happen.

Taking to Twitter, in a since-deleted tweet, Derrickson explained that he would like to exercise his horror chops in a galaxy far, far away. Here's what he had to say about it. "Just asked what kind of Star Wars movie I would make. I answered that I would make Hoth, an R-rated frozen planet horror film in the vein of The Thing or Lovecraft's In the Mountains of Madness, with zero connection to any previous characters or storylines."
