NNNNnnnnnnooooooo.....!!!!
Looks like the worthless fool will be flushing another "Star" franchise
down the toilet. :-(

From ComingSoon.net ...

BREAKING: J.J. Abrams to Direct Star Wars: Episode VII!
-------------------------------------------------------
Star Trek Into Darkness helmer J.J. Abrams will direct
Star Wars: Episode VII for Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm,
reports TheWrap. The site says that Ben Affleck was also in
contention.

Back in November, Abrams commented on the possibility of him
directing and it sounded like it wasn't happening:

"Look, Star Wars is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I frankly feel that ­ I almost feel that, in a weird way, the
opportunity for whomever it is to direct that movie, it comes
with the burden of being that kind of iconic movie and series.
I was never a big Star Trek fan growing up, so for me, working
on Star Trek didnšt have any of that, you know, almost fatal
sacrilege, and so, I am looking forward more then anyone to
the next iterations of Star Wars, but I believe I will be
going as a paying moviegoer!"

TheWrap adds that Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy has been
courting Abrams for the director's chair for a while.

Star Wars: Episode VII is scheduled to hit theaters in 2015.
Michael Arndt is writing the script. Disney and Lucasfilm are
planning a new trilogy with a new movie coming every other
year.

A couple of good quotes from around the Internet ...

"I have a bad feeling about this."

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions
of fans suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly
kicked in the teeth. I fear something terrible has happened."

Another good quote ...

"Sir, the possibility of successfully handing over an
entertainment franchise is approximately three thousand,
seven hundred and twenty to one!"
