The Academy Award nominee and creator of the hit Peaky Blinders, Steven Knighttook over as screenwriter for the film Star Wars of the film that he will direct Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy following the recently announced departure of the writers Damon Lindeloff and Justin Britt-Gibsonas confirmed by the portal Deadline.
Little is known about the film, although new details will be revealed in the Star Wars Celebration next month in London. The film will likely be one of the first to come out of Lucasfilm’s storied franchise since Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker of 2019, if not the first.
It’s unclear what led to Lindelof and Britt-Gibson’s departure from the project, although the former hinted at his departure in a recent interview with slashfilm.
“I’ll just say that for reasons I can’t explain this Sunday morning, on this day, the degree of difficulty is extremely, extremely, extremely high. Yeah [la película] It can’t be great, it shouldn’t exist,” Lindelof said. “That’s all I’ll say, because I have the same association with [Star Wars] that you, which is the first movie I saw sitting on my father’s lap, when I was four years old, May ’77. I think it’s possible that sometimes, when you hold something with such reverence and esteem, you start to enter the kitchen and you say, ‘Maybe I shouldn’t be cooking. Maybe I should be eating. We’ll leave it at that point.”
