Star Wars writer will See You In Hell

Gary Whitta, the award-winning writer of Star Wars: Rogue One, has a new podcast, See You In Hell, starring Jon Cryer (Pretty in Pink), Alex Winter (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure), Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek), and John Boyega (Star Wars).



Read the official synopsis:

"A new scripted comedy featuring an all-star cast and created by Gary Whitta (Rogue One, The Book of Eli, The Walking Dead), See You In Hell is an unflinching takedown of a dysfunctional entertainment industry in which art and commerce are in constant, pull-your-hair-out conflict."

The title of the podcast, See You In Hell, is clever. A satirical swipe at industry development hell and an homage to Han Solo's unforgettable riposte in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

Godzilla director to helm first Star Wars spin-off

Gareth Edwards, director of the blockbusting Godzilla reboot, is to helm the first Star Wars spin-off following JJ Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII in December 2015.

In a statement, Edwards said: "Ever since I saw Star Wars I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life - join the Rebel Alliance!

"I could not be more excited and honoured to go on this mission."

Edwards is set to direct Godzilla 2 and 3. However, the first sequel does not have a script, freeing the director for Star Wars.

The unnamed Star Wars spin-off is being written by Gary Whitta (Book of Eli) and is scheduled for release in December 2016.
