Rogue One: A Star Wars Story may be the first of the anthology films on the way from Disney and Lucasfilm, but it has been interesting as far as writers are concerned. A new rumour has hinted at a third writer working on the film in some capacity.
Gary Whitta (After Earth, The Book of Eli, The Walking Dead: Telltale Game) wrote the first draft for the film, with Chris Weitz (The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Golden Compass, Cinderella) following him to work on the shooting script. The new rumour suggests that Christopher McQuarrie (Mission: Impossible- Rogue Nation, Jack Reacher, Edge of Tomorrow) was hired for two weeks to polish the Rogue One script.
While it’s unknown when he was brought in (if at all), the film has been filming since August so it would likely have been before filming began.
Thoughts on this rumour?
