Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is writing the script for a new Star Wars movie. We tell you everything that is known so far Here!
A few weeks ago it was announced that most of the new projects of Star Wars were losing their directors or screenwriters, like Damon Lindelof (Lost) and Justin Britt-Gibson (counterpart). However, it seems that there is already a replacement because Steven Knightthe creator of Peaky Blindersis already working on the script for this film that Lindelof and britt gibson they abandoned.
At the moment, not much was released about this delivery but we know that Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (Ms. Marvel) continues as the director. Strong rumors assure that this nameless film will be presented at the Star Wars Celebration which will be during May and they will announce its title as well as give a short synopsis. Regarding the search for the cast, it seems that we are far from this stage beginning since just in February 2024 the production of this project that will be released on December 19, 2025.
The news that Lindelof Leaving the film was quite a surprise, but in a recent interview he explained why he did it and the reason makes a lot of sense. “If it can’t be incredible, it shouldn’t exist”commented Lindelof. “That’s all I’m going to say, because I have the same association with it as you do, which is to say, it’s the first movie I saw sitting on my father’s lap, when I was four years old, in May of 77. I think it’s possible that sometimes when you hold something in such reverence and esteem, you start to walk into the kitchen and say ‘Maybe I shouldn’t be cooking. Maybe I should be eating.’ We’ll leave it at that point.”
Lindelof and britt gibson are the last to abandon a project Star Wars. A few weeks ago it was confirmed that both the films of Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman) as the Kevin Feige (President of Marvel) were cancelled. And other of the writers who also left the franchise were the creators of game of Thrones, David Benioff and DB Weiss, who were going to be in charge of a new trilogy that now will never arrive.
At the moment, and after the latest cancellations and resignations, the only projects that are still standing are the film by the director of Thor, Taika Waititiand a film by the director of stranger things, Shawn Levi. It is expected that more will be revealed about the projects that are still ongoing during May, which is when the Star Wars Celebration for him May 4th. So we are only going to have to wait a month and a few days to find out what the future of the franchise holds.
