‘Star Wars’: Damon Lindelof’s secret movie already has a director

The news comes to us from a galaxy far, far away. As Deadline reports, Damon Lindelof, the “Lost” showrunner and Emmy Award winner for “Watchmen”, will develop a new movie “Star Wars”. The project is allegedly trying to keep it secret, carrying it out with the greatest possible discretion (with poor results, as far as we know). The film would be a new installment of the franchise, which despite the success achieved on Disney + with “The Mandalorian”, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” or “Andor”, has not released a movie in theaters since “Star Wars: The Rise”. by Skywalker ‘in 2019.

Despite this secrecy, the US portal points this out Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, two-time Oscar winner for the short films “Saving Face” and “A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness”, will be in charge of directing the film. On the other hand, it looks just like that Lindelof allegedly co-wrote the script against person, whose identity we do not yet know. Taking all of the above into account, it looks like the film will take a long time to reach the big screen.

Lucasfilm has made it clear that the franchise has more films in development, but they don’t want to rush the next one. They prefer to wait and make sure the next film series has a story that they are happy and satisfied with.. In the last month of May, Michael Waldron, screenwriter of “Doctor Strange in the multiverse of Madness”, confirmed that he is writing a “Star Wars” script for a film directed by Kevin Feige..

more science fiction

In case the project finally goes ahead, this work would be Lindelof’s fourth participation in a well-known science fiction franchise.. In 2019 she made her own version of “Watchmen” for HBO. In 2009, he did the same with “Star Trek” and co-wrote “Star Trek: Into Darkness” in 2013. Also, in 2012 he wrote “Prometheus”, the famous “Alien” prequel.
