In an interview at Collider’s TIFF media studio for his Netflix limited-series All the Light We Cannot See, Shawn Levy shared that his Star Wars film and Real Steel series had been put on hold due to the writers strike, but assured fans that both will still happen.
Shawn Levy is a busy man, but like all successful creative types in Hollywood, he’s always eager to add more to his plate. Progress on his next projects has stalled due to the industry-wide strike which has brought the entire film and television industries to their knees, halting work on both his Star Wars film, and the long-anticipated television follow-up to his beloved Hugh Jackman film, Real Steel. During an interview at Collider’s TIFF media studio at the Cinema Center at MARBL for his Netflix limited-series All the Light We Cannot See, Levy told Collider’s Steve Weintraub that the development phase of his Star Wars project had just begun work when it was stopped in its tracks by the writers’ strike, and that work on it would resume once the writers had received their fair share.
“We were just starting the process of developing my movie, and the writer strike happened,” said Levy. “So we are in that holding pattern that so much of our industry is in.” Weintraub then asked if that was also the case for the Real Steel series, to which Levy confirmed the situation was almost identical, although he went slightly further by assuring fans of the film that he was desperate to make the project happen, and confirmed it was “alive” and ongoing. Levy explained, “Same, I could literally say, “See above.” Same. Still, as I told you, I want it as badly as the lovers of Real Steel want it, so alive, but paused.”
