Post STAR WARS : ROGUE ONE Predictions December 16th 2016
“Godzilla” director Gareth Edwards has been tapped to direct Lucasfilm’s standalone “Star Wars” film, that Disney will release on Dec. 16, 2016.

http://variety.com/2014/film/news/star- ... 201189612/

Seems like Disney is pretty sure that AVATAR won't make the date...

starwars.com confirms:

GARETH EDWARDS AND GARY WHITTA ONBOARD FOR STAR WARS STAND-ALONE FILM
May 22, 2014
In addition to the episodes of a new Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm and Disney have begun development on multiple stand-alone movies that will offer new stories beyond the core Saga. Gareth Edwards will direct the first stand-alone film, with a screenplay by Gary Whitta. The film is due out December 16, 2016.

Gareth Edwards blazed into the filmmaking forefront with his acclaimed work on Monsters, a film he wrote, directed and served on as cinematographer and visual effects artist. The skill and vision readily apparent in Monsters earned him the high-profile spot directing this year's smash hit Godzilla.

"Ever since I saw Star Wars I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life - join the Rebel Alliance! I could not be more excited and honored to go on this mission with Lucasfilm," said Edwards.

Gary Whittas screenwriting credits include 2010s The Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington. He is also well known as a journalist and editor in the video game industry, as well as part of the BAFTA award-winning team on Telltale Games adaptation of The Walking Dead.

Whitta states, "From the moment I first saw the original movie as a wide-eyed kid, Star Wars has been the single most profound inspiration to my imagination and to my career as a writer. It is deeply special to me,so to be given the opportunity to contribute to its ongoing legacy, especially in collaboration with a film-maker as talented as Gareth,is literally a dream come true. I'm still pinching myself."

Gary Whittas has two screenwriting credits: Book of Eli (Meh) & After Earth (Awful)

Are they on crack or desperate or what? Is there really no one else on the planet who could adapt a Star Wars better than someone who has proven himself unable to write a good movie?

Will AVATAR 2 now be a summer 2017 release?

Rather arbitrary to predict this far out, but here goes nothing:

88/308

I figure Star Wars will end up resembling Marvel's blend of Avengers films and individual-hero films.

I doubt Disney has any insight, and Disney will definitely flee if Avatar is going to make its date. They could be done filming Avatar 2 early-mid 2015, and then they have 18 months to do post-production/effects.

This is more of an ASPIRATIONAL date than anything else. If the screenplay sucks they could scrap the whole thing and start over.

You realize that what's written and what's on screen aren't necessarily the same, yes?

You're saying After Earth was some awesome, David Mamet-level shit on the page?

Maybe I'm mistaken but if you check Disney's releases closely, they hire a lot of shitty writers.

It's mindboggling. Maybe it's their legendary cheapness, who knows.

If this has to compete against Avatar, it will fail.

I'm sure they will start at least 3 to 4 weeks apart as both movies want the IMAX...

Whitta doesn't have great movie list but he did write some good stories for video games.

Disney/LFL is trying to channel Disney/Marvel in the nontraditional hiring department.

Why do they need this in the first place? I think summer fits best for these kind of movies, if this comes against Avatar then it will flee for sure and I don't think Avatar will move further anymore.

If the official Star Wars chapters are opening every other year, I imagine that Disney would rather have the spinoffs directly in between them, instead of having both an official chapter and spinoff open in the same year.

Do you have any idea what would these spin-offs look like? I somehow feel that Disney will completely dilute the brand with so many movies.
