Simon Kinberg has been tapped to write and produce a new trilogy of Star Wars films. According to Deadline these films will be next installment (Episodes 10-12) of the Skywalker Saga. However, others are saying this is a new, separate story.
EXCLUSIVE: Lucasfilm has closed a deal with Simon Kinberg to develop a trilogy of Star Wars films. Kinberg will write the trio, and produce them with Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy.
I heard this will comprise episodes 10-12 of The Skywalker Saga that began with George Lucas’s 1977 first film that along with Steven Spielberg’s Jaws reshaped the global blockbuster game. Insiders disputed my intel that Kinberg will continue that storyline, saying this will instead begin a new saga, and sit alongside Star Wars percolating projects with James Mangold, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Taika Waititi and Donald Glover. As usual, Lucasfilm and Disney are not commenting.
Though plot details haven’t been revealed, Lucasfilm has disputed the notion, first suggested by Deadline in their initial report of the forthcoming trilogy, that Kinberg’s movies will continue the story that George Lucas began with 1977’s “A New Hope,”
Ok, ill bitch about it...i really dont like him at all. His work on the X men movies is kinda awful, even First Class and maybe Days...might be ok. Im very disappointed on this.
You know, one really good thing about Kinberg which kinda sways me a very VERY little bit about his involvement is that he was also involved with Rebels and even wrote a couple of my all time favorite episodes of the series. So... that's something.
