Lost-skaparens hoppar av sitt eget Star Wars-projekt

Under fjolåret rapporterade vi om att TV-seriekungen Damon Lindelof (Leftover, Watchmen, Lost) kontrakterats av Lucasarts samt Disney för att tillsammans med Justin Britt-Gibson (The Strain, Banshee) skriva manus till en kommande Star Wars-film, men nu står det klart av att båda herrarna hoppat av projektet med omedelbar verkan. Branschrykten skvallrar om en omöjlig arbetssituation inom Lucasarts som själva menar att de redan hittat nya manusförfattare som ska fortsätta fila på detta påbörjade projekt.

Lindelof:
"I will just say, that for reasons that I can't get into on this Sunday morning, on this day, the degree of difficulty is extremely, extremely, extremely high. If it can't be great, it shouldn't exist. That's all I'll say, because I have the same association with it as you do, which is, it's the first movie I saw sitting in my dad's lap, four years old, May of '77. I think it's possible that sometimes when you hold something in such high reverence and esteem, you start to get in the kitchen and you just go, 'Maybe I shouldn't be cooking. Maybe I should just be eating.' We'll just leave it at that point."
