RUMOR: Is Colin Trevorrow In Line To Direct STAR WARS: EPISODE IX?
Apparently Lucasfilm's search for a director to conclude their Star Wars sequel trilogy has come to an end! Heroic Hollywood are claiming that Colin Trevorrow will be unveiled as the Star Wars: Episode IX director at SDCC later today. Hit the jump for more details!
Well this is interesting. Heroic Hollywood are reporting that Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm have found their director for Star Wars: Episode IX. Apparently they have tapped Colin Trevorrow for the task, after he steered Jurassic World to $1.4 billion (and counting) at the global box office this year. According to El Mayimbe, Lucasfilm are set to officially unveil the director at the Star Wars panel at SDCC later today - so we'll be able to get some closure on this rumor fairly quickly.
Given the immense financial success of Trevorrow's last movie, this report does have some weight behind it when you add in the fact that he was considered to direct Star Wars: Episode VII - before JJ Abrams got the gig. Trevorrow would join Abrams, Rian Johnson (Star Wars: Episode VIII), Gareth Edwards (Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One), Phil Lord & Chris Miller (Untitled Han Solo Spin-Off) on Lucasfilm's impressive roster of directors working on their Star Wars expanded universe.
No other details have been released at this time. How do you feel about this news? Are you excited to see Trevorrow helm another huge sci-fi blockbuster? We won't have to wait too long to find out if it's true, so check back later today for more news as this story unfolds!
