After Gareth Edwards it's now time for Chronicle director Josh Trank to be pulled in, to helm
another Star Wars standalone film.
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 debut Chronicle, a fresh
and engaging take on the superhero genre. Trank is currently at work on The Fantastic Four for 20th Century Fox.
