Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Movie Coming?

Lightsabers-Darth-Revan-Star-Wars-Knights-Of-The-Old-Republic-Ii-The-Sith-Lords-Darth-Malak-14- Today we were given yet another Star Wars rumour to wind down the week. Ain€™t It Cool News reported earlier that one of the many ideas currently floating around Disney's Lucasfilm is a movie version of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This rumoured adaptation went viral after Star Wars mythos creator turned screenwriter, Drew Karpyshyn said the following via his personal website:
"I don€™t have any produced or sold screenplays yet. I have one script that€™s nearly complete, and I will be looking for an agent soon to help me market it to major Hollywood studios."
Drew Karpyshyn does reportedly have a "nice in" with Lucasfilm. Yet, besides the vague reports and heavy speculation, there€™s no actual evidence Karpyshyn is writing a Knights of the Old Republic screenplay, or anything Star Wars related. His screenplay really could be anything. The landmark RPG was rumoured to be one of the many "spin-off" film pursued under the command of Disney by many sites over the past 24 hours. UPDATED: However these KOTOR movie rumours appear to be on thin ground. Ain€™t It Cool News have now updated their report to say Karpyshyn told them that he "has heard nothing about a Knights of the Old Republic movie." Although I want to see this movie with every fibre of my being, and Lucasfilm may one day embrace their the non-Skywalker extended universe franchises for the big screen, this one doesn't look likely right now. I will still look forward to the day when they make this film. Until then however we still have the video game and novel series. http://youtu.be/-o-ZLXRnCNY We€™ll keep you posted on any more Star Wars news and be sure to check out our current Star Wars articles and join in the discussions on Whatculture!
