It seems as of late the Star Wars news is flowing like a raging river. We went from knowing almost nothing out the next film, to now having new spin-off films in the works. Disney sure seems to be milking this franchise for all its worth at the moment.
After all the leaked photos from the set, that included glimpses of the Millennium Falcon and an X-Wing, just how does Disney intend to keep the Star Wars fans excited?
Well, announce a new spin-off film and attach direct Josh Trank to the project. Here the official news direct from the source:
In addition to the episodes of a new Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm and Disney continue development of multiple stand-alone movies that will offer new stories beyond the core Saga. The newest director to come on board is Josh Trank.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Josh into the family,” says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “He is such an incredible talent and has a great imagination and sense of innovation. That makes him perfectly suited to Star Wars, and for this new slate of movies that reach beyond the core characters and storylines of Episodes I through IX.”
Trank states, “The magic of the Star Wars Universe defined my entire childhood. The opportunity to expand on that experience for future generations is the most incredible dream of all time.”
Trank captured imaginations worldwide with his critically lauded directorial debutChronicle, a fresh and engaging take on the superhero genre. Trank is currently at work on The Fantastic Four for 20th Century Fox.
