As we mentioned in a previous post, the project for the next installment of Star Wars he was running out of Gary Whitta, one of his screenwriters, and it hasn't taken too long to find a replacement who will surely cover Whitta's absence well.
Lucasfim and Walt Disney Pictures have placed their trust in Chris Weitz, who has an Oscar nomination, which may be a certain guarantee in order to offer a good job for this film whose release is scheduled for December 16, 2016 .
His first steps in the world of cinema came with Antz, an animated film but if it was for something known it was for having directed and been the scriptwriter of About a Boy, a film nominated for an Academy Award in 2012 and which earned him great fame on an international level.
After her came The Golden Compass or Cinderella, which will premiere on March 27 in Spain. Now he has a great job left for Walt Disney and Lucasfilm, where everyone, fans included, hopes that it will be a great job and that it can keep the spirit of the previous sagas since people do not want to forget them completely.
