10 Directors Who Could Replace Josh Trank On Star Wars
6. Shane Carruth
We may be looking at the next Terrence Malick in the making. His mysterious visuals in Upstream Color and dense subject matter in Primer make him a one-of-a-kind filmmaker. His films are... difficult to describe in a few words but here are some adjectives that best suit his style: symbolic, dense, enigmatic, abstract, and cerebral.
Carruth spoke of only making a Bond movie where Bond could lose his hand, or a Superman movie where he abandons humanity and lets them fend for themselves. While those ideas are extreme, as this is an Anthology film, there could be room for a more out-there idea. Maybe it’s told from another timeline where Fett straight up kills Han, destroys the Rebels and becomes a hero of the Empire.
He’s probably a little too experimental for Star Wars and he’d likely make a film that you'd need Wikipedia to understand, but it’s hard to fathom the mind-bender of a movie he could make with a multi-million dollar budget.
