News about Damon Lindelof

From November 2007 to February 2008, the last WGA strike lasted 14 weeks. A legion of TV shows and movies are being affected by the tighter rules and regulations as the Writer Guild of America unites once more in a strike that began in May and continues to progress. The strike had a major effect on Hollywood in 2007, as a number of movies that had been highly praised for excellence were met with lacklustre reviews and mediocre finished results due to the time's stringent guidelines.

As part of Maureen Ryan's latest book, those who appeared on the show, as writers, actors, or in other behind-the-scenes positions, have spoken out about their shocking allegations of bigotry and exploitation of power on the program. Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse's allegations against them include dismissing an actor after he raised questions about race and making overtly racist remarks that contributed to a hostile work environment. Both deny the charges.

Disney and LucasFilm have already found a new writer just days after it was first announced that Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson had left their Star Wars project. According to Variety, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has come aboard to take over the writing duties on the mysterious project. In July 2022, Lost and Watchmen creator Lindelof and Counterpart writer Britt-Gibson were brought on to write the script.

New information has been published just hours after Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof's latest Star Wars project emerged. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lindelof is currently writing with Justin Britt-Gibson (Counterpart, The Strain). It was also announced that this project would be based after the Skywalker Saga, which concluded with the release of 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but that it may also include characters from LucasFilm's sequel trilogy, which also included 2015's The Force Awakens and 2017's The Last Jedi.
