It's Official: JURASSIC WORLD Director Colin Trevorrow to Helm STAR WARS: EPISODE IX
"Colin is someone I've been interested in working with ever since I saw Safety Not Guaranteed," Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy said in a statement. "The power of that film paired with the enormous success of Jurassic World speaks volumes about his abilities both as a storyteller and skilled filmmaker. We are thrilled to have such an incredible talent as Colin join our family and step into the Star Wars universe."
Trevorrow follows in the footsteps of JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson, the two directors who kicked off the sequel trilogy with Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: Episode VIII.
"This is not a job or an assignment. It is a seat at a campfire, surrounded by an extraordinary group of storytellers, filmmakers, artists and craftspeople," Trevorrow said in a statement. "We've been charged with telling new stories for a younger generation because they deserve what we all had — a mythology to call their own. We will do this by channeling something George Lucas instilled in all of us: boundless creativity, pure invention and hope."
Star Wars: Episode IX opens in 2019.
