Gary Whitta: Rogue One, Animal Talking, and the Game Magazine Wars of the 90s

Branching Narratives With Jeff Green

Gary Whitta—screenwriter (Star Wars: Rogue One, The Book of Eli), comic book writer, and novelist—talks about what it's like to go from being a video game magazine editor to being the guy who wrote a Star Wars movie. He also discusses the trials and tribulations of being a Hollywood writer, the joy and craziness of hosting the wildly popular Animal Talking show, and what it was like to write about video games before the Internet.
