Scratch Brad Bird Off Your STAR WARS Director Wishlist

How about Gore Verbinski?

It seems like whenever fans choose somebody they like a couple days later that director says he doesn't want to do it. I wonder who will be the next director to say he's not interested.

Brad Bird for the potential sequel for this guy.......

No way , he is my top choice

Would have loved to see him do Episode VII, but it's understandable if he can't or doesn't want to do it. I trust that Disney will find a good director.

I'd love to see him working on it (who doesn't!?), but I've never expected it, either. I've been saying that the director most likely won't be one of the "fanboy-friendly" names...

Still, I'm hoping it would be Duncan Jones, George Nolfi, or even Joe Johnston.

Come on Jon Faverau.

I can't believe there is more talk about Matthew Vaughn doing it... What would make you drop doing Xmen First Class 2? His Secret Service movie? No. An opportunity to do Star Wars. We have heard nothing from him since dropping Xmen. I am not saying he is my first choice, but he is my guess who is going to do it.

what about Gilliam or Zemeckis?

Bird for JLA

enough with the star wars movies. i have it up to here with nerdy fanboys complaining about how their childhood has been destroyed. I had to listen to this 3 times already and I don't want to hear all the whining when they get butthurt the next time.

At this point, it really could be anybody. It's a shame, but it's very understandable as to why no one wants to touch it: this is a massive responsibility.

RATNER FTW

why are there all these stories about who the director isn't going to be? is it that hard to fill up the news? why don't you save the story for when there actually is a story, which will be when there's an official announcement of who the director is.

Lol, HalloweenJack's acting like Brad Bird diddled him as a child.

It's ok if you don't like Brad Bird. But you're getting a little too passionate, bud.

As for who I'd like to see direct Star Wars: I thought Spielberg and Bird would've been great fits. But they both said no. HalloweenJack brought up James Cameron, who'd be great too, but he's made himself busy with Avatar.

With those three out of the way I can't really think of anyone that just 'clicks' as the perfect match. Jon Favreau's ok, I guess...

.........except Pete Travis,he knocked Dredd wayyyyy out of the park with only 35 million.

Wachowskis will shit the bed on star wars. They haven't done anything good since the first matrix movie.

Favreau is ok, but he hasn't done anything great recently either. (since Iron Man)

Fincher is not the right kind of director for star wars. He's not bad but sci-fi action doesn't seem right for him. Alien3 was shit.

...imho. I have no [frick]ing idea who should direct Ep VII either. The good candidates are dropping like flies

@Norseman79 Dude Alien3 was Finchers frist film, I think you can cut him SOME slack even with how terrible it was behind the scenes. James Camrons first film was Piranha's II. So i tihnk he can work.

Star Trak WAS Star Wars. that is all.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwww

Davis O Russell,forgot about him.

Lucas needs to ring Spielberg up and ask him beard to beard to direct it.SW needs a safe pair of hands.

IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?

lol

lol that Brad Bird video is awesome. If I were him, that kind of support would've convinced me to take on any project but I guess he already has his table full and Disney probably hasn't approached him anyway.

My vote is still for Joe Johnston *and he goes on to say he's not interested/involved in anyway in 3... 2...*

Brad Bird has always been my favorite director.
Iron giant (my favorite film)
The incredibles
Ratatouille
All such perfectly well crafted pieces of art.
Knowing that he won't do this movie just remindes how good a director he really is. And how dedicated he is to film.

Never been much of a fan of Brad Bird.
Loved Iron Giant.
Liked Incredibles.
Enjoyed Ghost Protocol.
Downward spiral, as far as I'm concerned.
