…to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada.
Apparently Whitta has been working on a reboot of The Last Starfighter, according to EW according to io9. This would still be in that nebulous wonderful preproduction phase where the project can vanish in the mist, and it’s currently without a studio, director, producer, cast, etc. But Gary does have a co-writer that owns at least some of the rights to the IP, so that’s a start!
I don’t know if the world needs a Last Starfighter reboot, but self-loathing kids still dream about blowing stuff up in space, and video games are still a thing. And that Ko-Dan armada isn’t going to go away on its own…
