Will audiences read or listen to or watch Whitta present Gundog? That’s still in progress. In the meantime, he has two lower-budget scripts he’s trying to get out there and is still trying to make the movie of his dreams, The Last Starfighters, a sequel to the cult 1984 film. Unfortunately, at the moment, that film is a perfect example of everything Whitta has been saying about the Hollywood machine being so difficult to navigate.
“We took it to Warner Brothers, they loved it, and they wanted to do it, but ever since then, we’ve just been stuck in contractual stuff,” he said. “We’ve been trying to figure that out for a while now. So it’s still alive [but] right now I don’t think there’s that much happening with it.” While we wait though, there’s another world of heroes, villains, aliens, and science fiction fans can enjoy from the mind of Gary Whitta: Gundog. And you can enjoy it however you see fit.
Gundog is currently available to listen to on Whitta’s Twitch as well as his YouTube. The podcast is coming very soon, so go ahead and subscribe now. The book version is coming soon too.
