Making a movie has been Dave’s ‘goal for years’
Hollywood star, Dave Bautista, recently revealed that directing a film has been his “goal for years” and he is slowly making moves to working behind the camera. The 52-year-old professional wrestler-turned-actor, known for Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014), is looking forward to directing a “small drama”.
When asked about filmmaking, Dave told SFX magazine, “That’s kind of been my goal for years. I’m slowly working my way behind the camera. I’m in my 50s — my time in front of the camera is going to be limited! But I love filmmaking. And so, I hope to have a future in this. I want to be able to put stuff on screen and not necessarily blockbuster films. It’s definitely on my bucket list to direct, at least, one film and it’ll most likely be a small drama. But that’s what I love.”
The actor said that one of the reasons why he came on board for a recently released zombie heist film was so that he could learn from director, Zack Snyder. “You look at me and you think one thing, but then (when) you get to know me or see how passionate I am about certain things and you’ll see a whole different person. And that’s the same with Zack. I wanted to see what he sees visually as a director,” Bautista added.
