'Game of Thrones'
creators
David Benioff and
Daniel Brett Weiss
are set to write and produce a new series of 'Star Wars' films. According to reports, these new films are not to be tied to the ongoing
'Skywalker'
saga of the
'Episodes'
movies or be connected to the trilogy being developed by filmmaker
Rian Johnson. "David and Dan are some of the best storytellers working today," said Kathleen Kennedy, president of production house.
"Their command of complex characters, depth of story and richness of mythology will break new ground and boldly push Star Wars in ways I find incredibly exciting." It is a major project for both Benioff and Weiss, who have become stars in their own right after the massive success of the fantasy TV series.
"In the summer of 1977 we traveled to a galaxy far, far away, and we've been dreaming of it ever since," Benioff and Weiss said in a joint statement. "We are honored by the opportunity, a little terrified by the responsibility, and so excited to get started as soon as the final season of Game of Thrones is complete."
