Daisy Ridley Won’t Be In Any Star Wars Films After Episode IX

Daisy Ridley Won’t Be In Any Star Wars Films After Episode IX

, , 0

When the new Star Wars trilogy was revealed, we all knew that there would have to be new stars to inspire the next generation of Star Wars fans. And so we got characters like Rey, Poe Dameron, Finn, Kylo Ren, etc. These four especially are the core of the new trilogy. But, what happens after the trilogy is done? Well, according to Daisy Ridley, she won’t be in any more Star Wars films. “No,” she said to Rolling Stone. “For me, I didn’t really know what I was signing on to. I hadn’t read the script, but from what I could tell, it was really nice people involved, so I was just like, ‘Awesome.’ Now I think I am even luckier than I knew then, to be part of something that feels so like coming home now.” When asked if she was sure whether she wouldn’t come back, she replied: “No, no, no. I am really, really excited to do the third thing and round it out, because ultimately, what I was

Originally, the ninth episode of Star Wars — the third chapter to the sequel trilogy — was to be directed by Colin Trevorrow. It was hoped the director of Jurassic World could bring a bang-up finale to this new tale, but reports of script problems forced his exit. Fans were with him up until his universally panned The Book of Henry came out; now they’re not sure about him either. He might’ve just been a bad fit, but when you look at the record, Kathleen Kennedy has thrown out a LOT of people: Josh Trank, Gareth Edwards, Rian Johnson, Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and now Treverrow. It’s beginning to appear like no one can please her. So who does that leave? Nothing left but to get Abrams back on the phone. Lucasfilm announced today he’s been hired again. JJ Abrams’ take on Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens, was controversial. Some Star Warsians enjoyed how much the flick authentically felt like a classic movie from the OT, while others

Colin Trevorrow Was Apparently Fired

Colin Trevorrow Was Apparently Fired

Star Wars land has had some very big departures in the last few months. First came the release of Phil Lord and Chris Miller from the Han Solo film, and then Colin Trevorrow this week was released from Star Wars Episode IX. Now, there’s some conflicting reports about whether he was released amicably, or whether he was fired. The Star Wars site said that, however, Vulture is reporting that sources in the film are stating that Trevorrow caused a lot of tension on set, and that started to build to him being fired: “During the making of Jurassic World, he focused a great deal of his creative energies on asserting his opinion,” the executive explains. “But because he had been personally hired by Spielberg, nobody could say, ‘You’re fired.’ Once that film went through the roof and he chose to do Henry, [Trevorrow] was unbearable. He had an egotistical point of view— and he was always asserting that.” While that in itself is not a fireable offense per se, messing with

There’s been an interesting string of coincidences over the last few months concerning the Star Wars films. First, the Han Solo Anthology film lost its directors, then hired Ron Howard to do the film. And now, Star Wars Episode IX has lost its director Colin Trevorrow. Trevorrow really came to fame after the universal success of Jurassic World, which at the time (before The Force Awakens came out) was the biggest opening in box office history. So at the time, it made perfect since why Trevorrow was hired, and yet, on StarWars.com, Lucasfilm released a statement saying that the studio and the director had “mutually chosen to part ways”: “Lucasfilm and Colin Trevorrow have mutually chosen to part ways on Star Wars: Episode IX. Colin has been a wonderful collaborator throughout the development process but we have all come to the conclusion that our visions for the project differ. We wish Colin the best and will be sharing more information about the film soon.” If that paragraph sound familiar, it’s kind

Actor Benicio Del Toro has revealed some more details on his upcoming role in the new Star Wars sequel, Star Wars: Episode VIII. The new film will be written and directed by Rian Johnson (Looper). It will probably come as no surprise that Benicio Del Toro will be playing a villain in the story, at least according to his own statements. In an interview with the Spanish website rac1.org, Del Toro revealed: “Star Wars is coming up, we will see how that turns out. I think we start shooting in March. I’m like the villain, but we’ll see.” Hopefully, Del Toro’s involvement in this picture will be a little more substantial than his appearance as The Collector in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. His role there ended up being little more than a glorified cameo. It will be interesting to find out more about Del Toro’s character, including his connection, if any, and potential interaction with the new villains of Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, including Kylo Ren

As the old saying goes, if your competition beats you, hire them to work for you anyway. Well, that might not yet be a saying, but it certainly holds true in the case of today’s news. At the 2015 D23 Expo, during Saturday’s Walt Disney Studios Live Action panel, studio chairman Alan Horn revealed the director for the last movie in the upcoming Star Wars sequel trilogy, Star Wars: Episode IX. The still untitled film will be helmed by Jurassic World writer-director Colin Trevorrow. Pop Geeks was live in attendance for the panel and special announcement. Horn and Disney even had a good sense of humor about hiring Trevorrow, despite Jurassic World surpassing The Avengers as No. 3 on the all-time box office record list. Say what you will about Jurassic World, but you cannot argue with the results of Colin Trevorrow. Trevorrow went from directing an extremely low budget indie film in Safety Not Guaranteed to a mega-sized Hollywood blockbuster and sequel for a major franchise in only his
