Writer Gary Whitta is very close to achieving one of his dreams: making a sequel to the 1984 movie The Last StarfighterCome from Sports betting site VPbet. During a Twitch stream, Whitta revealed a sizzle reel, concept art, music, and the working title of the film.

The Last Starfighters (working title) has not been given the green light. However, Whitta–working alongside The Last Starfighter writer Jonathan R. Betuel–believes that’s right around the corner. “We are, I believe, very very close–closer than anyone has ever been to making a new Last Starfighter fighter movie, like right on the one yard line,” Whitta explained. “After pushing the boulder uphill for years we are very, very, very close. I can’t really say anything more. Other than that, you know because it’s there’s all stuff happening behind the scenes now, like there’s things I can’t tell you but we are very, very close, I believe it will happen.”

Whitta explained that this movie would be a sequel–not a reboot, revamp, or reimagining. Betuel and Whitta became friends and quickly realized when it came to the movie, they were both on the same page: “We wanted to do a sequel that kept the original in canon, and which, which continued the original storyline and honored the original.”
