Matt HudsonHOST
Not every director is an auteur, right? But every director usually has some form of style or if you're hiring them for a big project is for a reason.
Matt HudsonHOST
Whereas, like we said in the last few weeks that with Sean Levy and John Watts, you are not hiring a director because they're known for their yuck yucks and improv comedy or they're known for this out of the other.
Matt HudsonHOST
It's they're just a director going to come in, do a good job and get the job done and make a good film.
Matt HudsonHOST
That's what they're known for.
Paul DiNuzzoHOST
That is from our buddies at Comic Book Movies.
Paul DiNuzzoHOST
And we got this article that says, Star Wars Episode X is moving forward at Lucasfilm with John Watts, directing a script from Simon Kinberg.
Paul DiNuzzoHOST
The movie signals the studio's intention to continue the Skywalker saga in the post-Rise of Skywalker timeline, a decision which has split opinions.
Paul DiNuzzoHOST
As we first reported on the Gazette, early plot details for the movie have leaked, including with a report from Janet Ripman.
5 MINS LATER
Paul DiNuzzoHOST
Let's see how episode 10 rolls.
Paul DiNuzzoHOST
And then we'll re-examine at that point how we want to do it.
Paul DiNuzzoHOST
So as far as the other parts, Josh, John Watts, rather, I always said that this was a good choice.
Paul DiNuzzoHOST
I think it's a safer choice, but he does have some great film behind him.
EdHOST
I think they're going to plug along with this trilogy one way or another.
EdHOST
I mean, hiring Simon Kinberg to write all three scripts, hiring, what's his name, John Watts to come fucking direct this.
EdHOST
Like, yeah, I think their plan is chugging along one way or another.
EdHOST
It's just going to be how it's all going to be received by the fans and how successful this ends up being.
Jason ConcepcionHOST
The goblin is here.
Jason ConcepcionHOST
Defoe to Mulderville in December 2021 said wanting to do his own action scene was, quote, one of the first things I said to John Watts and Amy Pascal when they pitched it to me before there was even a script.
Jason ConcepcionHOST
A slash film printed it.
Jason ConcepcionHOST
Listen.

Sully FogelGUEST

Ethan KaufmanHOST

Sully FogelGUEST

Ben AffleckSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Oh,
6 MINS LATER
Jimmy MacHOST
And I thought that was the purpose of the streaming series to begin with, to give these people lots of cracks at Star Wars in smaller doses and then see who has...
Jimmy MacHOST
the skills in the metal and the intelligence than to move into feature films.
Jimmy MacHOST
And I think in the case of John Watts, it worked.
Jimmy MacHOST
I think in the case of even Deborah Chow, it worked.
Zeth LundyHOST
Here's what America was watching at the movies in July 2017, the month that A Ghost Story was released in theaters.
