J.J. Abrams turned down ‘EPISODE VII’, Trekkies cackle.
The wonderful thing about being bipolar is that I can take on seemingly different stances, mere days apart! A hop and skip after bemoaning Abrams’ tendency for being self-satisfied in relation to the plot for Star Trek Down The Mountain, I can now tell you that I’m pretty bummed that Abrams’ turned down the chance to direct Episode VII. Why, you ask? ‘Cause I do love the dude’s visual splendor, and I have a sneaking suspicion that whoever is foisted upon the director’s throne won’t match Abrams’ ability. Despite, you know, his proclivity for lens flares, back patting, and time travel.

Matthew Vaughn confirmed as director of ‘STAR WARS: EPISODE VII’ by Jason Flemyn?
Christ only knows, this report is going to be discounted six minutes after I go to bed tonight. By the time I awaken, it’ll be a joke of an article. Whatever. It’s Episode VII, I’m stoked, I’m going to cover it. Matthew Vaughn was one of the directors rumored to be in the running for the next Space Battle flick, and he may have been confirmed by frequent collaborator Jason Flemyng. Loose lips!
Rick McCallum didn’t make jump from LUCASFILM to Disney. No probs right here.
There is a great moment in the Making of the Phantom Menace where Rick McCallum and the rest of the crew is watching a first cut. As the camera fixes on McCallum’s face, you can see realization slowly wash over him. He begins to realize that his Dark Master has made a flaming pile of excrement. Instead of mentioning this to Sir Lucas, Ricky decides to continue doing what he had been up to for years. Washing the Lord’s balls. So no, I’m not sad that McCallum has “retired”, and in fact I’m pretty fucking excited he is gone.
EPISODE VII: Carrie Fisher confirms she’s in, Billy Dee Williams sounds off, LOKI and DOCTOR WHO want in.
It’s another day. That means we have more Episode VII news. Boom! Upside your head. What do you make of all these comments? Let me hear it.
Rumor: ‘BRAVE’ co-director Brenda Chapman working on ‘STAR WARS: EPISODE VII.’
If you’re tired of Episode VII news, I’m sorry. I really am. Unfortunately for you, this is kid in a candy shop type swagger going on here. Almost too good to be true, almost too ludicrous to be real. The latest rumors are swirling around the co-director of Brave. A flick I never saw.
Video: This Campaign ad asks you to choose…Brad Bird for ‘director of EPISODE VII’
Oh this election day, here is a more sensible campaign video. It is politely making the obvious case for Brad Bird. You know, directing Episode VII.
HARRISON FORD may be open to returning for ‘EPISODE VII.’ I am in an alternate universe.
The past week has seen me typing headlines I never, ever thought I would type. The latest has Harry Ford open to returning to Star Wars. Just chew on that. Spit it up. Lick it off the back of your palm. Chew it again. Then drop your thoughts in the comments box.
Rumor: MATTHEW VAUGHN directing ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’? I could dig this.
Matthew Vaughn? Episode VII? Never thought I’d see those two names together, but there are a hell of a lot worse choices. What do you folks think?
Disney: New ‘STAR WARS’ trilogy planned, treatment for EPISODE VII done.
Disney ain’t just buying Star Wars, they are making fucking moves. They aren’t just spitting about Episode VII, they’ve already got a treatment for the bastard done. Woah.
