For just a bit- there was a rumor that he was OUT as director but apparently Lucas later denied that. I think JJ is a fantastic director, and the STAR WARS movies could use some of his 'style' to not only update the tech but also tell a great story FIRST- and then add the CGIcing fx. He's certainly improved on shooting action sequences, I was watching MISSION: IMPOSSIBLER 3 a couple o' weeks ago and while it's a great movie- some of the action bits had way too much shakyshaky cam & handheld shots- the bridge battle ie.
However- what aboot STAR TREK 3? I find it really odd and disappointing when directors make 2 films in a series then exit the third, just make a trilogy and THEN move on. I think INTO DARKNESS was his WRATH OF KHAN, and because Abrams has SUCH a unique look to his movies- I doubt if ST3 will look anything like the previous 2 films.
STAR WARS..
There's NO doubt that EPISODE 7 will make TONS AND TONS of $$ but if the movie is REALLY good, along the lines of EMPIRE- will JJ have 'peaked' in his career? seems like this job is at the TOP, what other doors couldn't he open after this?
1. If overall reviews of EP7 are positive- do you think JJ should return for EP8 or should they just hire different directors for each installment?
2. Are you too worried about the lightsaber lens flare shots? "hold it there, for about a minute- gotta add some flare to this shot!"
3. If we get another PHANTOM MENACE result- should they just stop with EP7?
4. What would YOU like to see in EP7?
