I don?t know about you, but I am uber excited about the new Star Wars movies! ?My son is going to be the perfect age to enjoy them. ?I just found out that J.J. Abrams is going to direct them and now I am even more excited. I thought that the Mission Impossible films were exciting and the special effects and stunts were amazing. ?I can only imagine what ideas he has in store for the Star Wars franchise.
J.J. Abrams will direct?Star Wars: Episode VII, the first of a new series of?Star Wars?films to come from Lucasfilm under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy. Abrams will be directing and Academy Award-winning writer Michael Arndt will write the screenplay.
?It?s very exciting to have J.J. aboard leading the charge as we set off to make a new?Star Wars?movie,? said Kennedy. ?J.J. is the perfect director to helm this. Beyond having such great instincts as a filmmaker, he has an intuitive understanding of this franchise. He understands the essence of the?Star Wars?experience, and will bring that talent to create an unforgettable motion picture.?
George Lucas went on to say ?I?ve consistently been impressed with J.J. as a filmmaker and storyteller.? He?s an ideal choice to direct the new?Star Wars?film and the legacy couldn?t be in better?hands.?
?To be a part of the next chapter of the?Star Wars?saga, to collaborate with Kathy Kennedy and this remarkable group of people, is an absolute honor,? J.J. Abrams said. ?I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid.?
J.J., his longtime producing partner Bryan Burk, and Bad Robot are on board to produce along with Kathleen Kennedy under the Disney | Lucasfilm banner.
Also consulting on the project are Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg.? Kasdan has a long history with Lucasfilm, as screenwriter on?The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark?and?Return of the Jedi.?Kinberg was writer on?Sherlock Holmes?and?Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Abrams and his production company Bad Robot have a proven track record of blockbuster movies that feature complex action, heartfelt drama, iconic heroes and fantastic production values with such credits as?Star Trek, Super 8,?Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, and this year?s?Star Trek Into Darkness. Abrams has worked with Lucasfilm?s preeminent postproduction facilities, Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound, on all of the feature films he has directed, beginning with?Mission: Impossible III. He also created or co-created such acclaimed television series as?Felicity,?Alias,Lost?and?Fringe.
May the force be with you J.J.!
