Second standalone ‘Star Wars’ film will need a new director

Aside from the new trilogy, there were plans of developing “anthology” films or a series of standalone movies for Star Wars. Rogue One is set to be released next year and Josh Trank was working on the second unnamed title. Or at least he was supposed to. Trank said in a post on StarWars.com: “After a year of having the incredible honor of developing with the wonderful and talented people at Lucasfilm, I’m making a personal decision to move forward on a different path.”

Trank is working on the reboot of Fantastic Four. And there have been rumours that things aren’t going well on that front either. According to The Hollywood Reporter, writer-producer Simon Kinberg (who worked with Trank on Fantastic Four and the Star Wars project) was reluctant to work on another film with him. There is no word who’ll be replacing him yet but we’re sure we’ll be getting news soon enough.
