New Zealand Director Taika of Waititi, winner of the award “Oscar” for the screenplay anti-war tragicomedy “Jojo Rabbit”, will shoot the new film universe of “Star wars”. This was announced by the Disney Studio, which owns the legendary movie.In December of 2019, the movie “Star wars: Skywalker. Sunrise” has officially drawn a line under the epic Saga, the events of which set in a galaxy far far away, viewers watched since 1977, when the screens out the picture of George Lucas, mysteriously entitled “Episode IV: a New hope”. Simple recipe, in which the archetypal plot borrowed no less from ancient mythology, combined with the most advanced at the time the special effects and the romance of long-distance space travels, was incredibly successful: In “a New hope” was followed by two sequels: “Episode V: the Empire strikes back” (1980, directed by Irvin Kershner) and “Episode VI: return of the Jedi” (1983, directed by Richard Marquand). Together they formed the so-called classic trilogy. 16 years later, George Lucas returned to the child. Personally writing scripts, he set up and produced, “a trilogy of prequels”: the movie “Episode I: the phantom menace” (1999), “Episode II: attack of the clones” (2002) and “Episode III: revenge of the Sith” (2005). This franchise was supposed to end, especially because by that time much more income than movies, Lucasfilm has brought related products: Souvenirs, toys, computer games and comic books based on.However, in 2012, The Walt Disney Company bought Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion, and with it all rights to “Star wars.” Three years later, was announced the new plans for the development franchise’s annual release of the new film in the main loop of Skayuokera and kinoistoriya “Star wars Tales”, which was to consist of sequels and prequels on individual characters and side storylines.From this moment on, the franchise started to have problems. The film is JJ Abrams ‘ “Episode VII: the force awakens” (2015), essentially reproducing a “New hope”, was well received by the audience and collected more than $2 billion, but “Episode VIII: the Last Jedi” (2017), set by Ryan Johnson, caused the righteous wrath of fans, as, in their opinion, violated all written and unwritten laws of the Universe, and its box office was less than its predecessor. A spin-off about Han Solo released in the summer of 2018, and is hardly hit your budget, becoming the most disastrous film of the franchise and putting a long pause on the further development of the anthology “Star wars History”.In this case, for all the years that “Star wars” are run by “Disney” production of the new films were accompanied by creative conflicts and big layoffs. The latest such example was the story of SoranaRami “Game of thrones” David Benioff and D. B. Wissam hired to write the script the new “Star wars” in February 2018. A half later they left Disney under the official pretext that you can cosmophere and her new contract with Netflix.Talk about the fact that Waititi can become the Director that Disney and Lucasfilm will charge to continue the “Star wars” with a clean sheet, and went at the end of last year, when the new darling of Hollywood set of the final episode of the first season of “Mandalore” — a highly successful TV series streaming service, Disney+, which is set in the same universe, but with its own separate story and characters. However, in this the audience can see how the example of his author’s projects (for example, “Real vampires” (2014) or the same “Jojo Rabbit”), and delivered his 17th film kynoselen Marvel “Thor: Ragnarok” (2017).The more that Disney CEO Bob iger has already stated that the next movies of the Saga will be more focus on the fan base and new viewers from outside — just for them, Waititi can be the most correct guide in a Galaxy far far away. Details of the new project have not been disclosed. We only know that Waititi will also write the script of the film along with Kristi Wilson Cairns, who was the co-writer of the film Sam Mendes “1917” and was nominated for it on “Oscar”. Initially, the release of new “Star wars” was planned for 16 December in 2022, but perhaps changes in creative team and the epidemic of the coronavirus will force Disney to adjust these dates. The same applies to the second season of “Mandalore”, the output of which is planned in the fall of 2020.In addition, the Studio has announced a new series based on the universe of “Star wars” on its streaming service. His show-run will be the Creator of the fantastic Comedy “the life of the doll” Leslie Hedland. Also in development are the sequel to the “Outcast one” (2016) from the series “Star wars History” series, dedicated to Obi WAN Kenobi, the role of which will be back Ewan McGregor.Julia Sigelman
