‘Chronicle’ director Josh Trank to direct stand-alone ‘Star Wars’ film
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Josh Trank will direct one of the planned stand-alone “Star Wars” films.
Lucasfilm announced Wednesday that the 30-year-old filmmaker will helm one of the two announced “Star Wars” spin-offs being made outside of the third trilogy. An earlier announced spin-off is to be led by “Godzilla” director Gareth Edwards.
Trank is the director of 2012’s found footage-style science fiction thriller “Chronicle.” He currently is working on “The Fantastic Four,” the superhero team-up reboot scheduled for release next year.
Lucasfilm gave no details on the subject of the “Star Wars” film. J.J. Abrams is currently in production on “Star Wars: Episode VII,” which will follow “The Return of the Jedi” in chronology.
