Michael Arndt Officially Announced as Episode VII Screenwriter! - Page 2

He said in the first video that he's giving Disney the treatments for VII-IX, but they were not "his' per say. Michael Arndt was confirmed to be the writer of these heavily detailed treatments for the NT (new trilogy sounds better then ST I think) And now he will write the screenplays as well.

Agreed.

I disagree, only because this may not be the last trilogy given what we've heard. So I think Sequel Trilogy works, and then following that either NT or SST. I think Next Trilogy should got for the one following this because I think it'll be distanced enough to have little to do with the OT like we belive these films will.

Nah, ST is too close to SW and just Star Trek in general, even among our nerd fans we need to have a little bit of a difference. The thing is we don't know what the next trilogy will be it may be a Knights of the Old Republic going way way back. So New Trilogy sounds best to me, just calling it the NT. We are getting ahead of ourselves. ST just does not have the same ring as calling it NT.

I like NT/OT too, especially if these films are the equals of the old ones (and with a director like Bird or Cuaron at the helm, they may just be). The New Testament/Old Testament way of looking at it would then work for me.

It's been confirmed multiple times that Lucas, as well as Kurtz wrote outlines.

Why it's the Sequel Trilogy, maybe it just doesn't bother me because I'm not a Treky but I mean it's stupid to change it. You have the Original Trilogy of films (The OT), the Prequel Trilogy of films (The PT), and the Sequel Trilogy of films (The ST).

I'm just making sure. A lot of things are taken for granted on the internet, like Christopher Nolan's level of involvement in Man of Steel.

Pretty excellent news, I only hope we get a good director to match!

Amazing, amazing choice of writing talent. This is arguably the best possible first step. This gets better and better every day.
