Beginning in 2015, fans of 1984's "The Last Starfighter" were thrilled when a potential sequel was teased. That excitement was buoyed when “Rogue One” scribe Gary Whitta announced he was working with Jon on the project—and ultimately released concept art for the film in 2021. Sadly, however, those hopes were dashed in September 2022, when Whitta responded to a fan on Twitter, writing, “To be honest there's a decent chance it never happens.” And since then, there have been no updates.On this episode, Will chats with Jonathan Betuel, the writer of "The Last Starfighter," about the origins of the film, his experience with arcade games, and whether a potential sequel is still in the works.00:00 - Introduction06:05 - Interview: Jonathan Betuel42:25 - Wrap-UpSubscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1980snowFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.Become a patron at www.patreon.com/1980snowEmail us at will@1980snow.com or kat@1980snow.com.

Most recently, he has published a book called Gun Dog - available now on Amazon.com: https://a.co/d/iiu1K9F - set in a post apocalyptic earth and featuring battling enormous Mech robots.Previously, Whitta served as editor-in-chief of both the UK and US versions of PC Gamer Magazine.

In 2013, Gareth Edwards pretended he was going to get lunch, and instead went to a meeting with Kiri Hart at Lucasfilm. He was one of a handful of promising young directors who'd been handpicked to direct a new Star Wars film, off the strength of his low-budget debut Monsters. Edwards was offered Destroyer of Worlds, originally pitched by VFX legend and Edwards's personal hero, John Knoll. Gary Whitta went into his meeting at Lucasfilm surprised to be considered for a film project at all, but his ideas hit the right note, naming basically every major influence Knoll had listed in his pitch. Whitta would write the first draft and come up with the film's title, Rogue One, before being replaced by Chris Weitz, Oscar nominated writer and noted Boba Fett hater. In the middle of all of this was Colin Goudie, an editor hired twelve months before Rogue One even started shooting, tasked with making the film out of other films. Welcome to the messy, contradictory world of Rogue One's script.

Gary Whitta got a big break with The Book of Eli, a spec screenplay where he doesn't so much save the cat as he kills it and cooks it over a spit within the first few pages. Now he's coming off writing for one of the stand-alone Star Wars movies, he's working with Mark Millar on Starlight, and his debut novel "Abomination" is available for pre-order through an innovative publishing platform. It has everything in the above image and more. Whitta joins me this week as our special guest co-host (Geoff is on assignment in Kazakhstan), and we discuss the dominance of The Empire Strikes Back, the slightly ironic relationship movies have to comic books now and why he might not have done the very thing that brought him success knowing what he knows today. Things get educational, so grab a notepad and a splashguard. You should follow Gary (@garywhitta), the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more on a daily basis.

We really are spoiling you with our pod-guests these days. Hot-on-the-heels of Ex Machina's Alex Garland and Evolve's Phil Robb, we've now got games journalist-turned-screenwriter Gary Whitta joining Chris and Gav for an epic cast. Whitta started out in the games industry in the late 1980s before making the transition to film via The Book of Eli and Another Earth. For the last year he's been busy working in a galaxy far, far away, writing the first standalone movie in the new Star Wars cycle, which will be directed by Gareth ‘Godzilla' Edwards and hitting screens December 2016. Gary doesn't reveal much about the movie – bound as he is by the mother of all non-disclosure agreements – but he does talk about his love of The Empire Strikes Back, how the original trilogy inspired his generation of writers and filmmakers, and what working on this new movie has been like as a creative experience.  Oh, and his failure in a Star Wars quiz many moons ago also gets a (somewhat unfair) mention. If that weren't enough, Gary offers his advice to aspiring screenwriters, talks about games as an art-form in the 21st Century, explains where's he's at with his adaptation of Mark Millar comic Starlight, tells an AMAZING story aboutFrank Darabont, and gives us the skinny on his forthcoming novel Abomination, which is available via pre-sale this Monday, February 9. Braking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul hits Netflix this week so the boys discuss their hopes and fears for the show, while the conversation about potential TV reboots rumbles on, with Star Trek, The Crystal Maze and Green Wing all getting a mention in reader feedback. Out this week includes games Gunman Clive 2, Game of Thrones Episode 2 and Evolve, while the big movie releases are Selma, Shaun the Sheep and Jupiter Ascending.

Gary Whitta has finished his work on the first standalone film. What does it mean? Probably not that much. In this week's show, we discuss the screenwriter's departure, along with a rumor about Star Wars Detours, a smooth arrival to the world of Star Wars Rebels, and a connection between Marvel's Star Wars #1 and The Force Awakens. Plus, it's our first official live show, so listen for some back and forth with our chat room too!
