Star
Wars: Episode VIII Directed
by Rian Johnson
From
Deadline.com, ((In
a bombshell move, I’m told that Lucasfilm is
making a deal with Looper writer-director Rian Johnson to
write and direct Star Wars Episodes VIII and IX.
))
This
news makes me happy. Part of the problem with the prequels was that
Lucas refused to release the director duties to other people. Lucas
really isn't a good director, so I love to see JJ and Rian get a
chance to helm these movies.
He
hasn't done that many movies, but I like what I've seen from him.
The
Brothers Bloom
: I
really love this movie. Everything about
this movie works. It is a cute movie.
Looper
: I am certain this is the reason he got the Star Wars gig. Sure
there are problems with the script, but overall Looper was an
enjoyable sci-fi movie.
Anyway, I am happy
with these decisions as long as they keep George far, far away. JJ is a good starting off point and Johnson is nice way of finishing it. I also like the choices they've made for the side movies. Now, if Disney can get this Ant Man movie off the ground without more trouble...
