Lucasfilm Has “No Plans” For Digital Carrie Fisher
Lucasfilm has said they have no plans for digitally recreating Leia in Episode VIII or Episode IX. Which is fucking fantastic news. Both due to the respect shown, and also because Digital Leia looked fucking *terrible* in Rogue One.
‘Star Wars’ Braintrust Meeting Next Week To Address Leia And ‘Episode IX’
Man. Thankless task amid genuine sorrow for the braintrust behind Star Wars. The collaborative is meeting next week to discuss the future of Leia, after the tragic passing of Carrie Fisher. Leia, a character who was going to have a large role in Episode IX.
‘Episode IX’ News: Trevorrow wants to film in *actual* outer space
I was weary when I heard that Trevorrow was announced to be directing Episode IX, coming off his stint helming the abomination that is Jurassic World. But, I enjoyed his work on Safety Not Guaranteed, and I figured if the LucasCompound chose him there must be something to him. Now? Now the dude is talking about shooting on actual film, and wanting to film in actual outer space. I fuck with both these developments.
‘Star Wars: Episode IX’ being directed by Colin Trevorrow. Ooph.
I’m hoping Colin Trevorrow isn’t as fucking inept as his latest project, Jurassic World, was. Cause that motherfucker is towing the line for the final movie in the new Star Wars trilogy. Lord. Lord help me understand me why he’s been chosen. I mean — he’s competent. Sure. Yeah. Okay. But surely the Lucasfilm Hive-Mind wants more than competent? Right?
‘Star Wars: Episode IX’ to be directed by Colin Trevorrow
I guess it makes sense in some sort of financial way. Get the director behind this year’s biggest hit (Jurassic World) to direct a Star Wars movie. Unfortunately, that same movie is a bag of bloated CGI bullshit, that fails for most of the same reasons that the Prequels fail. Here’s hoping if he’s chosen, Colin Trevorrow brings more of the heart from Safety Not Guaranteed and less of the Hamster Ball Vomit Pile from Jurassic World to the final movie in the new trilogy.
