Director Shawn Levy, known for his work on Stranger Things and the Night at the Museum film series, is making a Star Wars movie, and now he’s provided an update on how it’s coming along. Speaking to Collider, Levy said he and the team had just started the process of developing the sci-fi film when the writer strike began in May.
Hollywood actors went on strike in July, and now production is paused indefinitely. “So we are in that holding pattern that so much of our industry is in,” Levy said.
The same is true for Levy’s new Real Steel TV series for Disney+. “I want it as badly as the lovers of Real Steel want it, so alive, but paused,” Levy said.
