The creators of the popular series "The Game of Thrones" David Benioff and Daniel Brett Weiss will write the script and withdraw a new series of films on the universe of "Star Wars", according to the official website of the producer of the space saga.
"David and Dan are some of today's best writers, and their combination of multi-faceted heroes, the depth of the story and the richness of mythology will open up new prospects and push Star Wars to incredibly exciting ways of development," said Kathleen Kennedy, president of the Lucasfilm film company.
The new series of films will not be related to the previous series on the Star Wars universe, or to the new, fourth trilogy of the movie, directed by Ryan Johnson, who shot the eighth episode of the franchise - The Last Jedi.
The dates for the release of a new series of films from the creators of the "Game of Thrones" are not reported.
Benioff and Weiss, in turn, noted that they are going to start work on a new "space" project after the last season of the "Game of Thrones".
"We are honored to receive such an opportunity, we are slightly alarmed by the responsibility, but are very pleased to begin work as soon as the final season of the" Game of Thrones "is over," the joint statement says.
