Steven Knight To Replace Damon Lindelof On Script For New Star Wars Movie

Just when you thought Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight couldn't get more prolific, he's gone and snagged himself a Star War. To be specific, the untitled Star Wars movie that Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson had been writing until recently.

According to Variety, Knight is now on board to script the mysterious movie, which still has documentarian and Ms. Marvel director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy on board to film.

This would mark yet another shift for Knight, who has shown himself able to script everything from Dickens to Dirty Pretty Things to Diana (as in, Spencer). And while he's tackled sci-fi with See, the idea of his brain unleashed on the galaxy far, far away is quite the prospect to consider.

We're expecting more news on this (assuming the Lucasfilm is ready to announce) at Star Wars Celebration, this year running 7-10 April in London at ExCeL (and yes, some giggling idiots will be in attendance, for which we can only pre-apologise).

Knight's latest work, a new adaptation of Great Expectations, kicks off on the BBC in the UK on Sunday, and via Hulu the same day in the States.
