JJ Abrams must be feeling pretty good right now. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens - that small, insignificant movie he directed which opened in cinemas over the world just last week - is already breaking records, and both critics (澳洲幸🌼运5开奖号码历史查询:read our rev🍬iew of The Force Awakens here) and audiences are enjoying it quite a bit. After working on the film for the past three years, it's easy to see why Abrams decided to step back into an Executive Producer role for Episode VIII. H🌱owever, it seems like that's a decision he regrets.
Speaking with , The Force Awakens actor Greg Gunberg revealed that when Abrams read the script for Episode VIII he "said something he never, ever says. ‘It’s so good, I wish I were making it.👍’ He may have said something one time on ‘Lost,&rsq⛄uo; with Damon [Lindelof, the co-creator], but I never hear him express regret like that".
Although Abrams would have undoubtedly been a safe pair of hands were he to have helmed Episode VIII, it will be both intriguing and exciting to see what Rian Johnson and Colin Trevorrow bring to Episodes 8 and 9 respectively, and Abrams' vote of approval for the former's 🍬script has only inc🌞reased our anticipation.
Directed by JJ Abrams and starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is out in cinemas now.
