New Star Wars film reportedly in development from Lost’s Damon Lindelof

You can add yet another identify to your list of filmmakers trying to create the future Star Wars movie: Damon Lindelof. Deadline experiences that Lindelof, who rose to prominence as the co-creator of Dropped and much more not too long ago received multiple Emmys for his perform on HBO’s Television adaptation of Watchmen, is creating and co-producing the film, whilst it is unclear who his producing associate could be. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, who labored on numerous episodes of Ms. Marvel, is reportedly in talks to direct. 

This is all a significantly cry from Disney’s primary programs for the Star Wars franchise. At 1 point in 2015 the studio had designs to launch a new Star Wars movie each and every year, interspersing its new trilogy of films with standalone releases. But, a lot more not long ago, the studio’s focus has shifted to the smaller screen with Disney Plus exhibits together with Andor and The Mandalorian.

At this place it is unclear when Lindelof’s Star Wars film could be established in the franchise’s timeline, who could star, or when the movie may possibly be unveiled. But, for what it is value, Deadline reports that the venture “seems to have the most momentum out of all all the movies at this time in development at the studio.” With any luck, it could be the a single to bring an stop to Star Wars’ cinematic purgatory.
