I'd like to think that Disney executives saw The Book of Henry and then started getting very uneasy in their chairs, followed by frantic phone calls to various departments.

He only got the Star Wars job due to the studio initially believing Jurassic World's box office success = quality.

Someone call George Miller.

This is the most exciting news about the sequel trilogy in a long time. It's been very difficult to remain hyped for this trilogy knowing he'd close it out.

Wow, I'd love to see an old pro like Paul Verhoeven, John McTiernan, or David Cronenberg.

I'd prefer Lexi Alexander, but it's gonna be Patrick Hughes.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

Matthew Vaughn could probably do it. He's got an eye for action, and X-Men First Class proved he could make something interesting of a studio franchise.

Honestly I could see it. It would have to be coupled with a bunch of PR bullshit about how George has learned so much after doing the prequels, and he understands where fans feel he went wrong, etc... (which I'm not sure George would actually be willing to participate in), but beyond that I think it would send a message that Disney Still Cares about the core of Star Wars and stuff like that.

I suppose I should clarify that I don't mean the film directed by George would be a shitshow; I'm talking about what would happen with the fans and the media.

My first thought when I heard the news was that they'd try to get Ava DuVernay. She's just finishing Wrinkle in Time for Disney, so she's a known quantity to them. Plus they need to build up some goodwill after the whole Miller/Lord fiasco, which this would definitely do.

Does she even want the job is the question.

Episode IX announced with a hard R rating after Disney announces Tarantino as director.

Half the script writing process will consist of QT thinking up interesting and new alien racial slurs.

I was thinking this too. I saw her at D23, and Disney seemed super high on her. This might conflict with her Wrinkle in Time post-production, because that hits in March and 9 comes out 14 months after that. They'll probably be wanting the 9 director to start by November.

Lucasfilm has seemed super happy with how Rian has done, I'm sure they'll back the dump truck up again and pay him double to stay on for 9.

over my dead body

also we're probably getting Rian again

quote:

Put Rian Johnson atop the short list of directors who might replace the recently departed Colin Trevorrow in Star Wars: Episode IX. Insiders said that nothing is done yet, but that prospect is certainly in the air right now. The Looper helmer fit seamlessly into the Lucasfilm machine, which is no small feat given the number of star directors who’ve been chewed up and spat out under the “creative difference” line in exiting Star Wars movies.

Seeing how Disney scraped his story lines for eps 7-9 to do their own thing, don't think he'd do this.
