Why Does J.J. Abrams Regret Not Directing Star Wars Episode VIII?
The biggest question left in need of an answer after Star Wars: The Force Awakens is… well, we’ll talk about that after the spoiler warning below. It sounds like there won’t be any content from the new movie sadly.
Of course, it’s hard to imagine that Disney would not be dying to get Abrams as involved with the upcoming Star Wars movies as possible. The antagonist here is Kylo Ren, a Jedi knight who’s gone over to the dark side and is now a Commander in The First Order, a spin-off of the evil Galactic Empire.
Another interesting tidbit involves the chromed-out Stormtrooper commander Captain Phasma.
Internationally, the seventh Star Wars has hit $422.4 million, bringing its global box office receipts to $813.5 million. The original 1977 film helped create the concept of the tentpole release, an entity extending from theatres to toy stores. With the current trend of a few big-budget films ruling the box office, “We could see average film rent expenses push higher”, says Wold, which would hurt theater profit margins. “When it comes out at the cinemas I want to see it though, especially because I like science fiction”. The film is already a box office juggernaut, and its critical reception has been nothing but glowing. He remains jailed with his bail set at $10,000. A pack featuring new figures based on characters from The Force Awakens was released in December. Roy reportedly said the gun was a Colt 1911 with a “hair trigger”.
Roy further texted his friend: “coming to find”. The film has been a success with both fans and critics alike.
In 2000, “Cast Away” also screened too late for normal consideration and the BFCA included it among 11 best picture nominees. TJ Miller will host the 21st Critics’ Choice Awards, airing on January 17, 2016.
