0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to slash film daily for June 21st 2018 on today's episode
0:04.8	we're going to be talking about the latest TV and film news this is slash film senior
0:08.7	writer Ben Pearson and joining me today are slash film writers why tran buoy
0:12.8	hey everyone and Chris evangelista
0:15.7	hello all right guys so I think it's probably a good idea for us to start off
0:19.9	today's episode by providing a little bit of an update,
0:23.4	albeit a confusing one, to a story
0:25.5	that we talked about on the show yesterday,

1:15.0	David Bennyoff and D. B. Weiss who are creators of HBO's Game of Thrones that is
1:19.9	also still on so that's what we talked about yesterday but yesterday's report said that you know movies like the
1:25.3	obiwan film and the maybe if a Yoda movie was in the works or like Boba Fett those sort of not officially announced but movies that were basically rumbled about as in terms of like being in development that those movies aren't happening but this new update says that Lucasfilm told ABC News that there are still multiple Star Wars films currently in development that have not been officially announced and those projects are moving forward separate from the ones that I just mentioned with Ryan Johnson and Benny
1:55.8	Offen-Wice.
