Lawrence Kasdan has been brought on board to write an installment of the upcoming Star Wars trilogy.
contactmusic.com notes,
"Kasdan is a Lucasfilm and Star Wars veteran having co-wrote 1980's The Empire Strikes Back and the 1983 movie Return of the Jedi. He recently co-wrote the screenplay for Raiders of the Lost Ark, considered the finest movie from Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones movies. However, his latest feature film writing credit is the poorly received Stephen King adaptation Dreamcatcher, starring Morgan Freeman."Mark Maurer at nj.com offers, "Lawrence Kasdan was trusted with co-writing two "Star Wars" sequels in the 1980s — why not do it again?"
I have no concerns -- just don't pull a Dreamcatcher on us! I liked that novel. The movie. . .
I've heard rumors that Ford, Fischer and Hamill might even reprise their roles.
ReplyDeleteAs unlikely as it sounds, it is possible provided they use motion capture ala Tintin and LOTR.
This might not bother modern fans, but how do any other orignal fans who came to the series in the 80s feel about having SW Gollum-ized?

I don't think ford, hamill and fisher will be cgi'd, they will probably be old in the story.
ReplyDeleteDreamcatcher was terrible in movie and book form.
