I'm so hard up for Star Wars news that I felt compelled to post
this, even though it has nothing to do with Episode IIV. It's
still awesome though.

Hard up for Star Wars news. Dayum, it's flying everywhere. I'll
wait for the dust to settle... meaning, I'll wait to see the
film ;D

This has nothing to do with Episode VII. But the fact that
Disney has approached Lawrence Kasdan to write Episode VIII and
Episode IX is huge in my book.

I had ideas for two cameos in Episode VII, and I think it's
saying a lot about me that they're both kind of monstrous and
crazy. Although I think the Jar-Jar idea might be too crazy
(Voodoo Death Cult Priest).

[glow=red,2,300]Guillermo Del Toro Turns Down 'Star Wars Episode
VII'[/glow]
[quote]Ah yes, the new 'Star Wars' movie. Still don't have a
director I see. The question of who will helm possibly the most
anticipated movie since 'The Avengers,' (I know, really reaching
back for that one, right?) has been burning and buzzing since
Disney purchased Lucasfilm back in October. Since then, the
rumor mill has been churning at dizzying speeds, cranking out
name after name of directors in the hunt for the gig...all of
whom would be debunked shortly thereafter. The latest filmmaker
to be crossed off the list is Guillermo del Toro ('Hellboy').
During a recent interview, del Toro admits that he was contacted
by Disney to see if he would be interested in directing 'Star
Wars Episode VII.' It seems del Toro's schedule was way too
loaded with personal projects he's keen on pursuing, so he
turned them down. During the interview, del Toro also mentioned
that he won't be directing any of the proposed 'Star Wars'
spinoffs. The still directorless 'Episode VII' is due in
theaters in 2015.
What I find most disappointing about this piece of news is not
so much that del Toro isn't directing 'Episode VII' as much as
he's sworn off the possibility of being involved with any of the
new 'Star Wars' films whatsoever. It makes sense that he would
be too busy to start on something set to be released in 2015,
and the crowded nature of his dance card puts the kibosh on any
inkling that he might be deflecting here, but to not want to do
any of them? That seems a bit strange. As imaginative a
filmmaker as he is, and given his ability to tackle large-scale
sci-fi like 'Pacific Rim,' he would be a stellar choice for the
job. But after the whole 'At the Mountains of Madness' fiasco,
perhaps he's a bet reticent to work with a big studio like
Disney on something so high profile.
Ok so let's run down the list of who isn't directing 'Star Wars
Episode VII' so far...
Steven Spielberg
J.J. Abrams
Brad Bird
Colin Trevorrow
Quentin Tarantino
Zack Snyder
George Lucas
and now Guillermo del Toro
So, now that del Toro's out, and given the list of other
directors who've declined, perhaps we need to look outside of
A-list blockbuster directors to find our guy;[/quote]

I didn't even know that Guillermo Del Toro was in the running
for it. That would have been a trip, but I think that FOX would
actually be worried about his style of filming would be too far
left from what's been established. Having said that, I would
welcome his style to change it up. I think whoever they tap to
helm this installment, they are going to be bland and cookie
cutter....just like George Lucas was for the prequels.

[glow=red,2,300]Disney Wants Drew Struzan to Design 'Star Wars:
Episode VII' Posters[/glow]
[quote]Well, here's some hopeful news for Star Wars: Episode
VII. No, we don't have any word on a director yet, but a
familiar face to fans of the sci-fi saga will be pleased with
this news. Fanhattan (via Bleeding Cool) recently had a chat
with iconic poster artist Drew Struzan and asked the retired
master of movie posters whether he might get back in the groove
with the new Star Wars films. The good news is that Disney has
already approached Struzan to do some work for the new trilogy,
which will see the first installment release sometime in 2015,
but the bad news is that Struzan hasn't decided whether he'll
actually do it. More below!
Here's what Struzan said when asked if Star Wars would put him
back to work:
Oh, well, never say never… in fact, I got a couple calls
already this week on Star Wars from Disney… You know, I spent
35 years painting Star Wars. I painted Star Wars before most of
you were born! But I guess there is always a chance. There’s no
intention.
I'm not sure how Star Wars posters without the touch of Drew
Struzan would look, though I'm sure there's a few artists who
could do their best to impersonate his trademark style. At least
Struzan isn't ruling it out, but surely being retired would be a
reasonable excuse for him not to return. Anyway, let's figure
just what the hell Disney is doing with the franchise over the
next few years before anything. Who will direct Episode VII?
What's going on with these spin-offs that may or may not include
Zack Snyder and Jedi samurai? Spill some of the beans, Disney!
We're hungry![/quote]
