Disney Wants Empire Strikes Back’s Writer To Pen A New Star Wars Movie


Oh boy.

Deadline is reporting that Disney has approached both Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg to see if they’re interested in writing subsequent Star Wars sequels (Michael Arndt is handling Episode VII).

Kinberg’s written X-Men and Sherlock Holmes movies, which is fine, but Kasdan wrote Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. That’s better than fine.

Bear in mind that this is just a rumour, of course, but when $US4 billion is spent on securing the Star Wars franchise, you could tell me Disney wants to hire Vladimir Putin to play Grand Moff Tarkin and I wouldn’t write it off.
