J.J. Abrams will direct the seventh "Star Wars" saga for Disney and Lucasfilm.
The Mouse House is closing the deal with the prolific producer and director, who is currently finishing "Star Trek Into Darkness" for Paramount.

Disney purchased Lucasfilm in October for $4 billion and in announcing the deal said it would move forward with new "Star Wars" films every two to three years. It plans to release the next pic in 2015, with Michael Arndt ("Little Miss Sunshine") penning the script.

The six existing "Star Wars" films have earned a total of $4.4 billion worldwide.

Upon brokering the deal with Disney, George Lucas said "it's now time for me to pass `Star Wars' on to a new generation of filmmakers."

At least they got a good director for the project. Curious what the plot will be still.

Till the cow teets emits dust Lemon. They bought this for 4 billion so you know they'll make at least 4 to make their money back and from there and depending on the franchises health, they'll keep churning those suckers out till the franchise has given all the money it can.

Damn us for being such consumers lmao

You're just mad for what he did with the Star Trek movie.

I still need to watch the original 6 movies. I've only watch 4 and half of 5.

Watch the original trilogy. Its boss, the prequel trilogy or abomination trilogy is eh at best.

Overall he is just.... not good lol Lost (espcially the ending) = bag of hairy dongs, Super 8 + Cloverfield = ruined ending... I can't think of anything else... but if he made it, he probably ruined the ending lol :P

I liked Super 8 and Star Trek :)

The ending of Super 8 was dumb though, I equate that too they got tired of doing the movie and was like alright wrapping this up k

[Mizel]

Super 8 was actually really good. But yea, the ending sucked. Star Trek I actually did enjoy :p
