Steven Knight, best known for penning the award winning BBC series Peaky Blinders, has spoken about being involved in an upcoming Star Wars film, “It’s exciting to be asked to be part of a Star Wars film and I know that a big announcement about the film will be made soon.”
As well as opening a brand new film studio in the heart of Birmingham and starting the process for a film academy which will increase the creative talent pool across the region, Steven has been working on and been asked to be part of a number of other projects.
These include being asked to be the screenwriter for a new Star Wars film, creating a new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations” and being asked to be a partner of the Birmingham Festival.
He is also busy turning parts of the region into riot zones as filming continues on This Town, depicting the days of Two Tone in Coventry and Birmingham in the late ’70s and early ’80s.
Steven, who was also co-director of the Opening Ceremony for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, said the Star Wars film was an exciting opportunity, although he couldn’t say much at the present time.
He said: “It’s exciting to be asked to be part of a Star Wars film and I know that a big announcement about the film will be made soon.
“I’ve enjoyed the films that have been made and I am looking forward to being part of it, but I can’t say too much right now about it.”

It could either be the Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy directed film or the Taika Waititi film. Here’s hoping we get some Star Wars film news at Celebration Europe 2023 later this week.
