Alan Moore has many, many stories still to tell.

The celebrated British author known for "V for Vendetta" and "Watchman" among other works has a deal with Bloomsbury for the story collection "Illuminations" and a five-volume fantasy series, "Long London." In a statement Monday, Moore said he was "bursting with fiction, bursting with prose" and thanked his publisher for its commitment to "expanding the empire of the word."

Moore's "Illuminations," scheduled for fall 2022, takes in everything from ghosts to the big bang theory. "Long London" follows a "sometimes-accessible shadow city that is beyond time," starting with London after World War II and "following the populations of writers, criminals, artists, and magicians through that familiar city and a version of London just beyond our knowledge," according to Bloomsbury.

The first volume of "Long London" comes out in 2024.

Oscar-nominated actor Ryan Gosling will star in a new "Star Wars" film that will reach movie theaters in May 2027, Walt Disney's Lucasfilm announced on Thursday.

"Star Wars: Starfighter" will take place five years after the events of 2019's "The Rise of Skywalker," a Lucasfilm statement said.

The movie is "an entirely new adventure featuring all-new characters set in a period of time that has not been explored on screen yet," the statement said.

Shawn Levy will direct and production will start in the fall. Levy directed Marvel's 2024 "Deadpool & Wolverine" film and episodes of Netflix's TV series "Stranger Things."

Gosling has been nominated for three Oscars, most recently for his role as Ken in 2023's "Barbie".

"Star Wars" is a science-fiction franchise created by George Lucas in 1977 and set in a galaxy far, far away. The "Star Wars" films have brought in more than $5.1 billion at global box offices.
