Did Colin Trevorrow Confirm His Involvement With STAR WARS: EPISODE VII Back In June?

I think it will be a new director or someone who has done a limited amount of films. So I don't think this is too far fetched.

smart move, cheaper than the other directors. hopefully some amazing practical special effects.

I thought Safety Not Guaranteed was alright.

I remember the meme from back in the day. Somewhat disappointed that Push it to the Limit wasn't in the film.

Safety Not Guaranteed is a quirky love story that sucks you in the second it starts.

Jeff: "Lasers?"
Arnau: "What kind of lasers?"
Darius: "I don't know I'm not a friggin' stormtrooper."
Jeff: "This guy's awesome. He's over there thinking he's building a friggin time machine? Arnau what are the chances he could do that with these lasers?"
Darius: "He doesn't know -- he's not a stormtroooper either."
Arnau: "Stormtroopers don't know anything about lasers of time travel. They're blue collar workers."



Jeff: "No matter how tempting it will be, we're never, ever going to say 'Hey, leave your Star Wars figurines in the box because they'll be worth hundreds more..."



Kenneth: "I used to come up here and camp with the Boy Scouts, near here, when I was little. Do you know what Star Wars is?"
Darius: "Yes."
Kenneth: "Yeah. So when I was younger, I used to bring my Star Wars figures up here, you know because I didn't want to leave them back at the house because they get lonely. And um, some of the more cynical kids would make fun of me. They would, like, throw them in the fire and stuff."

This sure sounds like a GL hire to me. Like its a version of himself he's hiring. The prequels, directors style, scary.

you should put the time in where he starts talking about wtf this article is about I dont want to sit through 23 min of video about a damn indie movie that isnt even that great.

here's the thing about a director like this who isn't really an established name: they will have no where near the pull of an established one. therefore are more subject to outside (studio/whomever is in charge) influence. they wouldn't be able to pull their filmography out and say 'trust me, i know what im doing.'

so in the end, yes this could be an exciting choice but we could be getting a pre-destined film rather than a director's vision. i dunno, maybe that's best. no matter which way i look at it this is the toughest of all franchises to take on. say what you will about the CBM's, this is the mother of em all.

seems like there's a connection there, considering safety not guaranteed is about time travel as well.

And as I said on a previous article, I think he may already be signed on for Episode VII.

colin who???

no disrespect but i have to say NOOOOO....

lucas is still running the show, this guy is lucky if he gets it, almost a free ride, he'll have the studio and Gl running the show from behind the scenes...

@Preston Your'e right I just finished SNG and it was a really good movie. I was hooked 2 min in!

@gmckoy The guy is a good director but I completely agree with ya that the studio and Lucas would probably be trying to control the movie over the directors vision.

whatever, if he is it. i just hope he does a good job.

So maybe Justice League then or another related DC property like Wonder Woman or Flash.

Another rumor debunked, if that DenOfGeek article is to be believed.

I'm sure Disney is really enjoying the wave of interest and speculation since the news of Ep 7 first broke. They are playing this information game (or lack thereof) just right.

@ gmckoy: probably because those directors command a higher % of the gate, and the studio/Lucas is looking for someone who won't be able to
demand as much while in production, and can be controlled easier.
