A new update has emerged for Star Wars movie that by Shawn Levi (Deadpool and Wolverine) is in development for Lucasfilm. According to InSneider, Levy will reunite with The Adam Project screenwriter My Friend Jonathan Tropper for the film.
There are no details to share yet about what Levy plans to do in the Star Wars universe, but when he previously spoke about the opportunity to direct, he said it was a “must-do-before-I-die thing.”
Levy said: “Getting that call was a great day. I was in the editing room on All the Light We Cannot See, and I looked at my phone, and it was [Lucasfilm president] by Kathy Kennedy.
“So a conversation started that led to her inviting me to develop and make my own Star Wars movie. I’m putting everything I have into it, because I love that world and it’s a privilege to be part of that galaxy.”
Speaking previously about his excitement for the project, he said: “If you had told me when I was directing Big Fat Liar that one day I would be working on the biggest TV show in the world and directing Marvel followed by Star Wars, I would have said, ‘You’re fucking crazy.’ But it’s so exciting. And it’s the kind of big-canvas storytelling that I’ve always dreamed of doing.
“I was lucky because ironically it started with Night at the Museum, where you’re really building a world, and you’re incorporating comedy and heart. And you and I talked a lot, and that’s what I tried to do in Free Guy and Adam Project.
“And so to get the calls from both Marvel and Lucasfilm, it’s really gratifying. Because I’ve been doing this for a while and these are calls that I definitely hoped to get one day.
“And the fact that all of this is coming now and that these are the next few years of my life is just… I’m just excited. I don’t have any deeper words than that. I’m happy and excited every day.”
Levy also addressed others Star Wars projects that have been stuck over the years and, in this regard, he explained his attitude towards it.
He explained: “I have this golden ticket to a galaxy far, far away, and I’m going to devote myself to developing a script that gives me the privilege of making this film. I don’t get attached to things because they look good in a commercial.
“I get attached to the things I want to make. And you can be sure that I will not waste this wonderful opportunity. I will work my ass off. But first, I have to work my ass off to make Deadpool.
“So it’s definitely long-term planning, but I want to be one of the films that comes to the starting line because these are rare opportunities and I want to make the most of them.”
By Levy Star Wars the film is still a long way off, but I’m curious to see what kind of story he plans to tell.
