WASHINGTON: ‘Watchmen’ producer Damon Lindelof is creating a brand new “Star Wars” film for Lucasfilm, and the ‘Ms Marvel’ helmer, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is in talks to direct.

According to Variety, Lindelof and an unnamed co-writer will collaborate on the subsequent movie. If the concept is accredited, it will likely be his fourth try and revive a major sci-fi model.

In addition to Lindelof’s progressive continuation of “Watchmen” for HBO in 2019 — for which he gained Emmys for writing and restricted collection — Lindelof produced “Star Trek” in 2009, “Star Trek Into Darkness” in 2013, and “Prometheus,” the prequel to “Alien” in 2012.

As per the studies of Variety, the undertaking’s announcement comes as Lucasfilm faces a call about “Star Wars.” Despite the studio’s live-action collection for Disney+, equivalent to “The Mandalorian,” “The Book of Boba Fett,” “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” and “Andor,” having fun with important recognition, it hasn’t launched a film in theatres since 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker.”

According to Variety, Rogue Squadron was scheduled to be launched in December 2023, and Patty Jenkins was introduced because the movie’s director in 2020. However, Disney eliminated the film from its launch schedule in September.

Currently, just one undisclosed “Star Wars” image has a launch date; not one of the different “Star Wars” movie initiatives is in varied levels of improvement and a few from administrators like Taika Waititi, Rian Johnson, and Kevin Feige, have even been formally revealed.

Johnson just lately revealed to Variety that his envisioned “Star Wars” trilogy remains to be within the works, however that he should first end the manufacturing of his “Knives Out” movies.

Michael Waldron (“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”) revealed to Variety in May that he had begun writing a “Star Wars” story that Feige would produce. However, Waldron has already been employed to write down “Avengers: Secret Wars,” so his dance card will get extremely full.

The quick documentaries “Saving Face” and “A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness” have been directed by Obaid-Chinoy, a two-time Oscar winner. Most just lately, she was the director of two episodes of “Ms Marvel” on Disney Plus.
