Real question: When does Episode X get announced? Comic Con 2019? Trailer attached to Star Wars IX? D23 in 2020 (in this scenario, there's a three-year instead of two-year gap between main series installments)? In a John Boyega interview with Teen Vogue?
Follow-up one: Will Disney continue to structure the main films as trilogy cycles?
Follow-up two: What will be the first "Star Wars Story" to establish itself as its own subseries with a sequel?
Follow-up three: When do we enter the era of two Star Wars films a year?
This is what I'm most interested in. Give me a Kyle Katarn story!Quoting Sycophant (view post)
Quoting Sycophant (view post)Lol. This ended up being true basically.Quoting number8 (view post)
Oh Jesus plz noQuoting Sycophant (view post)
It took Marvel 5 years into their plan before they started coming out with 2 movies a year. Then this year is the first where they release 3 a year (10 years after they started).
So the answer is 2020 and 2025.
This circles back to Irish's post.Quoting number8 (view post)
Edwards for all intensive purposes, was replaced. He was just the only one who went along with it.Quoting Irish (view post)
Lord and Miller Replaced...
Colin Replaced...
Josh Trank Replaced (way before)
Kennedy has to be on the hot seat right now. Who does she report to? Iger? They must be looking at Feige and saying, "how do you do this?"
Sounds like Trevorrow, Lord and Miller were all let go for being egotistical and difficult.
Pro-tip: when you only have a couple of credits to your name, best not to go in and try to tell Kathleen Kennedy how to do things.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Yeh.
"During the making of Jurassic World, he focused a great deal of his creative energies on asserting his opinion. But because he hed been personally hired by Spielberg, nobody could say, ' You're fired.' Once that film went through the roof and he chose to do Henry, [Trevorrow] was unbearable. He had an egotistical point of view - and he was always asserting that. When the reviews for Book of Henry came out, there was immediatey conjecture that Kathy was going to dump him because they weren't thrilled with working with him anyway. He's a difficult guy. He's really, really, really confident. Let's call it that."
"There's one gatekeeper when it comes to Star Wars and it's Kathleen Kennedy. If you rub Kathleen Kennedy the wrong way - in any way - you're out. You're done. A lot of these young, new directors want to come in and say, 'I want to do this. I want to do that.' A lot of these guys - Lord and Miller, Colin Trevorrow - got very rich, very fast and believed a lot of their own hype. And they don't want to play by the rules. They want to do shit differently. And Kathleen Kennedy isn't going to [frick] around with that."
Funny how someone who is so thoroughly mediocre has such an inflated opinion of himself.
It would be one thing if Jurassic World was dumb but a stylistic showcase for a director whose strength was in visual storytelling. But no. Anyone could have directed that movie.

Whelp, looks like it's official

Nice!
I mean, obviously I'm deeply anticipating what Johnson has done with VIII and would've been psyched if he was brought back too. But c'mon, JJ is the clearest sigh of relief here. No matter what you think of Force Awakens, it's largely his plane to land at this point.
I'm just kind of surprised he said "yes."
Last 11 things I really enjoyed:
Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
Safe (Haynes, 1995)
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
Diva (Beineix, 1981)
Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)
Yeh, I can only imagine what incredibly unsatisfying mediocre twist and/or revelations to expect in the series finale.
Nah, JJ is a bad storyteller, and he did bad things to the series, and he should be kept away. Johnson not only has to make a good movie with this upcoming one, he has to carefully de-fuck all of Abrams' fuckery, and then JJ'll be right back in to fuck it all away.Quoting Henry Gale (view post)
[Sorry, I'm just super-bummed about this. I want to like this series, but Disney is just killing it with this slide into textural pleasures and barren storytelling.]

But hey, on the bright side, all those great directors we listed for 2 pages, they can now do non-star wars stuff.
Yeah, I lie about that kind of stuff all the time.

I'm as equally excited as I am disappointed. :/
Add me on the side who's totally unimpressed by this news. :\
I have zero faith in JJ to not totally fuck this up...
I'd probably have something to say had they picked Ron Howard.

The Force Awakens was bloody fantastic and the best Star Wars since Empire.
This is great news.
JJ Abrams' movies are solid.
