Who would have thought that the co-writer of The Book of Henry would need help with a script?

Jurassic World director and future Star Wars Episode IX Colin Trevorrow will get a new writer in the form of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child playwright Jack Thorne. 

Now, before you begin penning your Star Wars think pieces about the potential removal of Trevorrow as direct, well, he’s still on board to helm final part of the new trilogy of Star Wars movies, and had until now been writing the script with his Jurassic World collaborator Derek Connolly.

As well as co-writing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Thorne penned TV series such as National Treasure, The Last Panthers, The Fades and Skins.

So far, we very little about Star Wars IX, mostly since much of what is to come is dependent on the outcome of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

That film is out on 15 December, with Episode IX (or whatever it ends up being named), due on 21 June 2019.
