Reel Facts & Opinions: STAR WARS EPISODE VII has a Director






FACT:

Various sources are reporting that JJ Abrams is the Chosen One. 



Abrams has been selected to direct the next STAR WARS film, unofficially titled EPISODE VII. 

Abrams big-screen directing credits include STAR TREK (2009), SUPER 8 (2011), MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III (2006). His next film will be STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS coming this May. 

The script for EPISODE VII is being written by Michael Arndt, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE (2006), and TOY STORY 3 (2010). 

OPINION:

This is tremendous news for this Blogger and STAR WARS fans. In the past few years, Abrams has shown the type of creativity, boldness, and most importantly, the spirit of adventure in his films that STAR WARS is all about. His work in STAR TREK shows his love for science fiction while not forgetting character, and as flawed as SUPER 8 might have been, it managed to speak to the kid in all of us. The Twin Suns are shining brightly!

What say you?
