Another One Bites The Dust

The clown present that’s Lucasfilm nowadays has a brand new trick: “the vanishing screenwriter”. I’ll make it fast, the fabled Rey film has misplaced yet one more author. First it was Damon Lindelof and a writing accomplice who had been “let go” over artistic variations… then Kathleen Kennedy employed Steven Knight – the person who co-developed “Who Needs To Be A Millionaire” and is the showrunner/author of Peaky Blinders – and 18 lengthy months after that they nonetheless don’t have anything. In line with experiences Kennedy favored not one of the therapies submitted by Knight. Knight himself has performed many issues, simply nothing for Star Wars, he’s engaged on the Peaky Blinders film, he’s busy creating a brand new studio in Hollywood. So should you adopted the information it received’t be a shock that Knight is now not hooked up to the Rey film.

In line with Selection Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy remains to be hooked up to the challenge, Yeah, positive.

A part of me desires Lucasfilm to undergo with this and to ship the most important Star Wars catastrophe of all instances. The wise a part of me desires them to come back to their senses and to cease this earlier than it will probably doubtlessly finish Star Wars for good. But when they wish to go forward… my recommendation is, rent Leslye Headland, absolutely a film a couple of girl wants a feminine author? It’s possible you’ll as properly finish Star Wars spectacularly.
