30 Most Exciting Films In Development Right Now

9. Star Wars Standalone Film

Who's Involved: Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Godzilla) is directing, while Chris Weitz (Antz, About A Boy) writes the script, and Tatiana Maslany, Rooney Mara, and Felicity Jones have all apparently tested for a role in the film. What's It About: It's widely believed that the first standalone Star Wars spin-off will revolve around Boba Fett, but beyond that, details are scarce. Why We Should Care: Fett is one of the most popular ancillary Star Wars characters, and if Edwards pulls it off, it'll be great to see this cinematic universe expanding alongside the main sequel trilogy series. When's It Due: December 16, 2016.
