Zack Snyder—you know him as the director of 300 and The Watchmen and whatever a Sucker Punch is—is reportedly already set to tackle Star Wars in conjunction with Disney. Vulture reports that the film will take place sometime after the events of Episode VI, but will not be a part of the new trilogy set to start up in 2015. Snyder currently has his hands full with the new Superman prequel, Man of Steel, but is said to be prepping the standalone Star Wars film, which will be a take on Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven Samurai.
So, basically, just add lightsabers to this:
And so the Disney degredation of Star Wars begins...although Lucas didn't help with the past few.— roguefiftyone- Let me be the first to point out that Star Wars: Episode IV was based in part on Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress," and that "Seven Samurai" was loosely adapted into a Star Wars ripoff called "Battle Beyond the Stars" with Richard "John-Boy" Thomas (1980).— J H
- What a bad idea. These comic book "action" directors totally suck. They're all boring.— p-diddy
- Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo— Dan in Holmesburg
- No Vader? No thank you.— Favorthabold
- Vader died in Episode VI genius. Either way this is going to suck.— AEPi71
