HED Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 http://starwars.com/news/josh-trank-to-direct-stand-alone-star-wars-film.html In addition to the episodes of a new Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm and Disney continue development of multiple stand-alone movies that will offer new stories beyond the core Saga. The newest director to come on board is Josh Trank. "We're thrilled to welcome Josh into the family," says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. "He is such an incredible talent and has a great imagination and sense of innovation. That makes him perfectly suited to Star Wars, and for this new slate of movies that reach beyond the core characters and storylines of Episodes I through IX." Trank states, "The magic of the Star Wars Universe defined my entire childhood. The opportunity to expand on that experience for future generations is the most incredible dream of all time." Trank captured imaginations worldwide with his critically lauded directorial debut Chronicle, a fresh and engaging take on the superhero genre. Trank is currently at work on The Fantastic Four for 20th Century Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HED Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Now that I think about it... Trank is actually a weird fit for Star Wars. People (myself included) talk about Abrams having a strong style, but based on Chronicle and what we've heard about his Fantastic Four, Trank has a very distinctive style. It'll be interesting to see if he keeps to that for this film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
