Today at D23, Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan
Horn announced that writer-director Colin Trevorrow will direct "Star Wars:
Episode IX", which is set for release in 2019.
While production won’t begin for a few years,
Trevorrow is heading to Lucasfilm this year to begin working with artists and
his fellow Star Wars directors. "Colin is someone I’ve been interested in
working with ever since I saw 'Safety Not Guaranteed'," says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. "The power of that film paired with the enormous
success of 'Jurassic World' speaks
volumes about his abilities both as a storyteller and skilled filmmaker. We are
thrilled to have such an incredible talent as Colin join our family and step
into the Star Wars universe."
Trevorrow states, "This is not a job or an
assignment. It is a seat at a campfire, surrounded by an extraordinary group of
storytellers, filmmakers, artists and craftspeople. We’ve been charged with
telling new stories for a younger generation because they deserve what we all
had - a mythology to call their own. We will do this by channeling something
George Lucas instilled in all of us: boundless creativity, pure invention and
hope."
"Star Wars: Episode IX" will conclude the third
trilogy of Star Wars movies that begins with "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" on
december 18, 2015.
