10 Directors Who Could Replace Josh Trank On Star Wars
1. Duncan Jones
It’s so obvious it hurts. He’s made two incredible sci-fi films already, he’ll have experience on a big budget film, and his schedule should be completely free. If you haven’t seen Moon yet, go watch it and come back to finish this article. Same thing for Source Code. His films are intriguing and ambitious, and his vision is unparalleled.
Both Moon and Source Code had fantastical premises, but they only played well because of his strong character work. The complexities of topics like reliving time, alternate universes, and cloning wouldn’t matter if the audience didn’t care about the people at the heart of them.
The obvious concern is that he may have franchise fatigue after just wrapping on Warcraft - he has stated his desire to craft something original - but c’mon, it's Star Wars. If there’s any franchise that could put off a director from doing an original film, it’s probably Star Wars.
