Som vi rapporterade om tidigt imorse har Jurassic World-regissören Colin Trevorrow hoppat av produktionen av Star Wars: Episode IX. Nu verkar det som att Episode VIII: The Last Jedi-gubben Rian Johnson twittrat om att han mer än gärna skulle hoppa på det numer lediga jobbet och därmed regissera sin andra Star Wars-film, på rad.
Deadline Hollywood skriver följande:
"Put Rian Johnson atop the short list of directors who might replace the recently departed Colin Trevorrow in Star Wars: Episode IX. Insiders said that nothing is done yet, but that prospect is certainly in the air right now. The Looper helmer fit seamlessly into the Lucasfilm machine, which is no small feat given the number of star directors who've been chewed up and spat out under the "creative differences" line in exiting Star Wars movies. Deadline was first to tell you that Ron Howard was the top choice to replace Phil Lord & Chris Miller as director of the Han Solo spinoff movie, and that came to pass. If Johnson, who directed the December 15-launching Star Wars: The Last Jedi, does in fact come back to take the reins of the next movie, it somehow would seem like destiny. When Deadline revealed that the Looper helmer was being hired to take on Star Wars, the original intention was for him to direct two movies. Stay tuned. It might come to pass." Länk!
Vem hoppas du kommer att axla rollen som regissör för Episode IX?
