RUMOR: Matthew Vaughn In Talks To Direct STAR WARS EPISODE 7

This a good idea. Vaughn is great director.

Good potential with this choice.

Whoever it is, we must have the following:

Better dialogue
Better acting
LESS, much less green screen and CG than the prequels
Less lightsaber action
Have an Iconic nemesis; like how it was in the original trilogy with Vader, the Emperor, and the Empire. Droids, Grievous and Dooku were lame as f***.

maybe this is why he drop out of x-men D.O.F.P, so he could have the inside track on star wars. i know disney and lucas had not made their deal yet, but a mega deal like disney buying the rights to Star Wars dosen't happen over night. he might have heard it was going down soon, and disney's plans to make episode 7 right away.

As long as Jake Lloyd is in it as Luke, you have my money!!!

2015 will be HUUUUUUGE!!!

Oh my God! You guys are f---king insane!! I never understood the praise this wannabe Guy Richie hack gets. First Class was complete and utter crap because of his directing. Just compare the Bryan singer opening of X1 with his rushed emotionless version in first Class. Look at how he ignores logic with Angel revealing her mutant powers in a room WITH OPEN WINDOWS AND A ROOM FULL OF STRIPPERS IN PATRONS IN THE BACKGROUND. Look at the illogical nonsense when Emma Frost cuts open that mirror and tells the CIA that crap about WAR when she CAN CONTROL MINDS!! She should have just took control of their consciousness and let herself out. Look at how he rushes from location to location in that abomination of an X-Men film. miss Singer's direction. It was very sophisticated and i feel like he took the material seriously. Vaughn goes back and forth from being serious to being wacky and lame..lamer than spiderman 3 dancing on the bar lame.

Noooooooooooooooo!

i meant "and patrons"

Vaughn would be a fantastic choice for Star Wars. Hope he gets it.

No please, get someone new or JJ Abrams. Vaughn doesn't fit. Oh and, Star Wars VII should never happen at first place.

Please Stop hating Nolan & bringing Whedon & Vaughn!

None of them should direct!

Rian Jonsan or Duncan Jones or some other New young director with a clear, new & Fresh Vision for Star Wars should come on board!!
& as much as I love Vaughn; he can't stick on anything!
He left KickAss 2 for X:Men:2 & now left X:Men -2 again.

The reason I don't support Nolan, Whedon, JJ, Vaughn or Spielberg directing this new film is that they are already big director & will bring lots of baggage & insane expectation with them; & they will never ever be met if anyone of these are attached!!

Go for a new & talented guy who changes StarWars for good & make it for a new generation; whether DARK or HAPPY tone; it's should be HIS/ her choice!!
So Stop jerking here idiots; any poll won by Nolan is not carried by Disney; so if he's won then they'll pick him!
Disney are not gona pick Nolan & Nolan doesn't need StarWars or Disney!
Both are Happy on their own, so Hater try & be Happy in life as u want a Happy funny film!

@LAXtremest when I say less lightsaber action, I mean for the new movies to be like the Originals. The prequels were over-saturated with lightsaber action. There would be about 3 or 4 total times in the originals where the lightsabers were used, and 3/4 of the time it was just for a few seconds. It made it more special and memorable.

Well Vaughn's Magneto in First Class was a better Anakin Skywalker than the one in the Star Wars prequels so....I'd be for it lol.

You mean the guy who doesn't care at all about continuity?

Uh.. yeah sure. They'll pick the right guy, but who knows?

I second Danbojohnj statement as I fondle grif's penis

I think Vaughn is so flakey he will say yes and within 2 months he will drop out...that seems to be his M.O. and in saying that I will third Danbojohns comment while rubbing DrRockso's balloon knot counterclockwise as he fondles Grifs gutz.

Good choice.

His visual style and scope is not right and to small for star wars. star wars should be massive in scale and a HUGE space opera and really less lightsaber duels? now we know why fan boys dont make these films. get inspiration from the SWTOR cinematics that is what people would pay to see.

He'd be good

Vaughn handled the Magneto and Xavier relationship brilliantly. One Hero, One Villain side by side at all times.

I think he would be fantastic

Without the above no amount of good directors, special effects, lightsaber duels etc etc will mean a damn.
This franchise needs an enema and to go back to its dirty roots and key note characters.
As they say "you can't polish a turd"
Be brave, give the audience some intelligence and go for it.

I hope they are smarter than that. No one but Spielberg should direct #7 and if not they dont need to settle on Vaughn. Kick Ass and First Class are not warm ups for that job.

That would be a great choice
