Levy promises a personal story

Speaking on the project, Levy, who is co-writing the movie with Jonathan Tropper, said:
"I really wanted to craft something that felt organic to me, both in tone and characters. So I think that there is certainly a Force and a connection to something bigger than our individual selves."
