The clown present that’s Lucasfilm today has a brand new trick: “the vanishing screenwriter”. I’ll make it fast, the fabled Rey film has misplaced one more author. First it was Damon Lindelof and a writing companion who had been “let go” over artistic variations… then Kathleen Kennedy employed Steven Knight – the person who co-developed “Who Desires To Be A Millionaire” and is the showrunner/author of Peaky Blinders – and 18 lengthy months after that they nonetheless don’t have anything. Based on reviews Kennedy favored not one of the therapies submitted by Knight. Knight himself has finished 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 if you happen to adopted the information it received’t be a shock that Knight is now not connected to the Rey film.
Based on Selection Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy continues to be connected to the undertaking, Yeah, positive.
A part of me desires Lucasfilm to undergo with this and to ship the most important Star Wars catastrophe of all occasions. The smart a part of me desires them to come back to their senses and to cease this earlier than it may probably finish Star Wars for good. But when they wish to go forward… my recommendation is, rent Leslye Headland, certainly a film a couple of girl wants a feminine author? You might as nicely finish Star Wars spectacularly.
What are your ideas?
