'Star Wars: Episode VII' Director To Be Announced Next Month


It's common knowledge (and a no-brainer) by now that Star Wars: Episode VII (7) is on the horizon and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy told ABC News Radio that an update will be coming in January -- most likely the announcement of a director.
Ever since Disney announced plans for Star Wars Episode 7, fans have been starved for new information. Pretty much the only thing in the way of official news has been an announcement that Michael Arndt will write the screenplay. There has been rampant speculation about who the director is, but no official announcement.

And it looks like the director announcement probably won’t be coming this month. Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy told ABC News Radio, "I have no immediate update, but hopefully in January I'll have something that I can say." We're hoping that something is a director announcement.

My thoughts:
What's not to like about F13 Part 3?  It has it all: creative kills, a solid story, and the introduction of one of best killer masks in all of horror movies.  How can I forget, it's in freaking 3D!

Trevorrow Not Directing STAR WARS EPISODE IX

Image
In what some would call a shocker, Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow, who was attached to direct and co-write Star Wars Episode IX, has departed from the project.  Word has it that his vision didn't quite line up with what Disney and Lucasfilm had in mind.

The best guess as of right now is that Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi director) could be a logical substitute.
