Regissören för Magic: The Gathering kallar MTG sin Star Wars

Matt Johnson, regissör för den kommande Magic: The Gathering-filmen, har beskrivit handelskortsspelet som sin personliga Star Wars. I en nylig intervju reflekterade han över en traumatisk förlust från en turnering 2006 som satte stopp för hans drömmar om att bli professionell spelare.

Matt Johnson, som regisserar den live-action-anpassningen av Magic: The Gathering, uttryckte en djup personlig anknytning till spelet i en intervju med GamesRadar+. Han liknade MTG vid Star Wars och sade att det har en liknande betydelse i hans liv. Johnson delade ett gripande minne från 2006, då han led ett nederlag under en turnering som lämnade ett bestående intryck. 'Jag kommer aldrig att bli en proffs-Magic-spelare', medgav han och belyste hur upplevelsen formade hans syn på spelet. Trots detta bakslag är Johnsons passion för MTG fortfarande stark och påverkar hans arbete med filmprojektet. Artikeln, med titeln 'Magic The Gathering director Matt Johnson says MTG is “my Star Wars”, even though a 2006 tour loss still scars him: “I'm never going to be a pro Magic player”', understryker hans resa från spelare till filmskapare.
