The force is strong with The Daniels, as One Take News reports that the filmmaking duo is set to direct an episode of the highly-anticipated Star Wars series Skeleton Crew. The Hollywood Reporter confimed the news. The series, which is being developed for the Disney Plus streaming service, is being developed by Jon Watts, the director of the Tom Holland-led Spider-Man trilogy.
The Daniels, whose real names are Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, shot to fame with their Oscar-winning film Everything Everywhere All at Once. The movie was a critical and commercial success, winning seven Oscars at the 95th Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for the Daniels. The film’s unique visual style and storytelling techniques have made them one of the most sought-after filmmakers in Hollywood.
What to expect from Skeleton Crew
One of the most exciting aspects of Skeleton Crew is its setting. The series takes place in the New Republic era, a time period in the Star Wars universe that has not been explored in depth before. This provides an opportunity for Jon Watts and the rest of the people behind Skeleton Crew to introduce new characters, storylines and concepts, while still staying true to the iconic Star Wars universe.
The star-studded Skeleton Crew features Jude Law in the lead role and is executive produced by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, the two people behind The Mandalorian. With such a talented team behind the project, Skeleton Crew is expected to be to be a thrilling addition to the Star Wars universe.
The announcement comes just weeks ahead of Star Wars Celebration in London, where more news and updates about the Lucasfilm franchise are expected to be revealed to the public. With the success of The Mandalorian and the upcoming release of Ahsoka, Star Wars fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming months.
