‘Star Wars’ job to Edwards
J.J. Abrams
The yet-to-be-titled “Star Wars” film, being written by “The Book of Eli” screenwriter Gary Whitta, is being described as a stand-alone movie in addition to the next three installments beginning with Abrams’ “Star Wars: Episode VII” to be released in December 2015.
British director Edwards made his feature film debut with his re-imagining of “Godzilla,” which stormed the North American box office with $93.2 million in sales last weekend.
The Walt Disney Company purchased “Star Wars” creator George Lucas’s production company LucasFilm for $4.05 billion in 2012 and announced it would release spin-off films between the releases of three new films in the popular sci-fi series.
