The Battlestar: Galactica actress speaks candidly about wanting to join DC or Star Wars franchises that both reboot in 2015.
So many franchises are getting ready to set sail in one rebooted form or another in 2015 that it must appear like the big budget promise land for many a talent. And Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar: Galactica, Riddick) is unafraid to throw her hat in the ring for these kind of opportunities. And why not? It worked for Samuel L. Jackson when it came to Star Wars!
While speaking with Total Film, Sackhoff openly talked about auditioning for David E. Kelly’s failed Wonder Woman TV Series and candidly spoke of wanting to enter the DC Universe as lady Diana. However, the DC character that she really has eyes for is Harley Quinn.
"I think I might give away my firstborn to have an opportunity to play Harley Quinn."
Sackhoff also was very warm about other franchises beyond Batman that are seeing a 2015 reboot. After all, she has already voiced Bo-Katan on Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series that ran from 2012 to 2013.
“Star Wars meant everything to me growing up,” Sackhoff told Total Film while reflecting on that series. “Star Wars was, I mean, it was the first time I remember seeing three movies that all kind of went together. It was just an amazing final understanding of what a trilogy was.
I was absolutely obsessed, I mean I wanted to be... The sad thing is, I never wanted to be Princess Leia, I always wanted to be Han Solo…If [director J.J. Abrams] would listen, I would play a rock in the Star Wars movies. I think that they're fantastic, I think that he's a great choice, and I'm excited to see what happens in that world.”
Sackhoff can next be seen in Tell with Alan Tudyk, Milo Ventimiglia, and Jason Lee.
