This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]402997[/split]
Also, we're at that stage where people who grew up with those franchises are now the ones behind the camera, so there's a lot of love for these series. Cross pollination of talent is inevitable.
Hey, the guy is a good director and is a good choice for the role. So I really have no problem with it.
I really do hope he cuts down on the lens flares though. Seriously.
I'm pretty damn sure that his time with Trek is over and if Into Darkness is as good as it looks I'll definitely be disappointed but he loves Star Wars more so can we blame him? I just hope this franchise jump turns out better for him than it did Bryan Singer.Also, we're at that stage where people who grew up with those franchises are now the ones behind the camera, so there's a lot of love for these series.

He'll cut back on lens flare because it draws an obvious visual similarity to Star Trek.
With JJ at the helm, I really do hope that Karl Urban gets some part in it. I think he is a very under-rated actor.
I'm betting that Joss Whedon will end up directing one of the new films. He wants the job and would have jumped for the chance for Episode VII if it weren't for the Avengers 2.
Another minor side effect of this news...the new Star Wars director has a working relationship with a Nolan.
This is definitely more likely. Whedon is Disney's golden boy right now.
Thank the Gods.
Personally, I think the best thing about this is that Abrams, given his sensibilities, will likely be able to bring back some of the classic, swashbuckling action/adventure feel to the...
Crap...what's this trilogy going to be called? The Newer Trilogy?
Man the steam was taken out of my happy train when I read the rumour that a teenage girl will be the lead, no thanks!

I hope this doesn't turn into a Superman Returns/X-Men 3 situation. That's kind of what it feels like.

I actually agree with that, and I'm sure that will be the case. He will keep in line with the visual style that the OT already has laid out I'm sure.
What if it's academy award nominated actress and all around Goddess Jennifer Lawrence playing a teenager?
I have a similar feeling and I already pointed this out as well.Ya know, the last time a fan-favorite director left one big franchise after two films for his childhood dream project on another bigger franchise, we got Superman Returns.
I hate being the guy to point that out, I'm very excited about VII and want it to be great. I just don't want to overhype it for myself.
I don't know, we can blame him for lying I suppose.
