A reboot of the 1984 film The Last Starfighter might finally be underway. On Twitter, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story screenwriter Gary Whitta teased his next project with several pieces of concept art. Fans of the original film will likely recognize the spaceships depicted in the concepts.
“Okay, probably shouldn’t show you this so early but here’s a little something I’ve been tinkering on with my co-writer Jonathan Betuel,” he wrote. Betuel is, of course, the screenwriter for the original film. “You might recognize the ships. Thanks to the amazing Matt Allsopp (lead concept artist on ROGUE ONE) for creating these images for us.”
