James Mangold continues to be engaged on his Star Wars film, however doesn’t need it to be “handcuffed by so much lore.”
One of many many Star Wars tasks in improvement is a narrative which can happen 25,000 years earlier than the Skywalker Saga and discover the first Jedi and the invention of the Drive. That’s additional up to now than the Star Wars franchise has ever gone, and that’s precisely why James Mangold was interested by it.
“The Star Wars movie would be taking place 25,000 years before any known Star Wars movies take place,” Mangold defined to MovieWeb. “It’s an space and a playground that I’ve all the time [wanted to explore] and that I used to be impressed by as a young person. I’m not that interested by being handcuffed by a lot lore at this level that it’s nearly immovable, and you may’t please anyone.“
The period encompassing the Skywalker Saga is steadily rising with new motion pictures and TV exhibits, however Mangold needed extra freedom to craft his story. “To me, the really important aspects are the freedom to make something new,” he mentioned. “Beau Willimon and I, in relation to Star Wars, have been working on a script, and we’ll see what happens. Do we find a way on the page to say something original?” Given what number of Star Wars tasks have been introduced over the past decade, solely to languish in improvement hell, I’m not about to position any bets on whether or not Mangold’s film will see the sunshine of day, however it could be one thing completely different.
Mangold’s A Full Unknown is now taking part in in theaters, and our personal Chris Bumbray cherished the Bob Dylan biopic. “It’s one of the year’s most entertaining movies,” Bumbray wrote in his overview, “with Mangold’s film so good that I hope he’s got a few Dylan sequels in him, as it truly left me wanting more.” You may take a look at the remainder of his overview proper right here.
Right here’s the official synopsis for A Full Unknown: “Set in the influential New York music scene of the early 60s, A Complete Unknown follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician Bob Dylan’s (Timothée Chalamet) meteoric rise as a folk singer to concert halls and the top of the charts – his songs and mystique becoming a worldwide sensation – culminating in his groundbreaking electric rock and roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.” Along with Timothée Chalamet, A Full Unknown stars Edward Norton, Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro.
