It was first reported by The Wrap and now confirmed by Entertainment Weekly. The new admiral of sci-fi JJ Abrams is set to be the director of the next installment of Star Wars. As you probably already know JJ is also directing Star Trek Into Darkness.
In a recent interview, he said. “As a kid I was always a fan of special effects. Watching movies I was constantly trying to figure out how they did it, whatever the effect was. Star Wars was the first movie that blew my mind in that way; it didn’t matter how they did any of it because it was all so overwhelmingly and entirely great. It was funny, romantic and, scary and compelling and the visual effects just served the characters and story. It galvanized for me; not for what was exciting about how movies were made, but rather for what movies were capable of,” Abrams told EW back in November. (In the same interview, he also denied that he would be directing any Star Wars films.)
