As we all know, last week- though it doesn’t seem like just a week- The Walt Disney Company bought over LucasFilm. It was later revealed that Star Wars: Episode VII was going to be released in 2015. After the news broke, many people speculated as to who might direct the movie and who might write it.
Well, one part of it has been cleared. Michael Arndt has been revealed to pen the script for the trilogy. He is also working on the screenplay for Episode VII. His previous works include Toy Story 3 and Little Miss Sunshine (for which he won an Oscar). He has also contributed to the Screenplay of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Plus, pre-production on the film has begun.
Here’s the official report from StarWars.com :
