Another One Bites The Dust

The clown show that is Lucasfilm these days has a new trick: “the vanishing screenwriter”. I’ll make it quick, the fabled Rey movie has lost yet another writer. First it was Damon Lindelof and a writing partner who were “let go” over creative differences… then Kathleen Kennedy hired Steven Knight – the man who co-developed “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” and is the showrunner/writer of Peaky Blinders – and 18 long months after that they still have nothing. According to reports Kennedy liked none of the treatments submitted by Knight. Knight himself has done many things, just nothing for Star Wars, he is working on the Peaky Blinders movie, he is busy creating a new studio in Hollywood. So if you followed the news it won’t be a surprise that Knight is now no longer attached to the Rey movie.

According to Variety Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is still attached to the project, Yeah, sure.

Part of me wants Lucasfilm to go through with this and to deliver the biggest Star Wars disaster of all times. The sensible part of me wants them to come to their senses and to stop this before it can potentially end Star Wars for good. But if they want to go ahead… my advice is, hire Leslye Headland, surely a movie about a woman needs a female writer? You may as well end Star Wars spectacularly.

What are your thoughts?

Here is the Variety article, who repost a Puck story (their newsletter is not available to non paying customers).
