Arndt Wrote Treatments For Next 3 'Star Wars' Films; Working On Episode VII

Some follow up news to the report of Disney having Michael Arndt to write the screenplay for Star Wars Episode VII. Deadline has confirmed that Michael Arndt has written a treatment for not just one but the next three Star Wars films coming from Disney and is also in line to work on the script for Star Wars Episode VII next year.

Lucasfilm consulted with Arndt months before the sale of the company and wanted the writer to put together ideas to take the franchise forward. What Arndt turned into Lucasfilm is what Disney CEO Bob Iger was referring to when the company acquired Lucasfilm of "pretty extensive and detailed treatment for what would be the next three movies, the trilogy." Iger announced plans for the new series of Star Wars films that day. "We’ve got a lengthy treatment that comes with this that we feel really good about and the film is in what I’ll call early-stage development right now," the Disney boss said.
