J.J. Abrams will direct the next “Star Wars” film for Disney, taking stewardship of one of Hollywood’s most iconic and lucrative film franchises, an individual with knowledge of the production told TheWrap.
“Argo” director Ben Affleck was also in contention, another individual with knowledge of the talks told TheWrap.
Take this with a grain of salt for now.
Nikki Finke has corroborated The Wrap’s report with a source of her own.
More details per /Film, some of which back up the female-lead notion.
Our sources have been telling us for a while now that Steven Spielberg was really pushing Kennedy to hire Abrams. The story goes that Abrams was the first filmmaker approached after Spielberg, but was very hesitant. Kennedy talked to other directors including Ben Affleck and also Matthew Vaughn who may have pitched to have Chloë Grace Moretz in the lead role. Our sources say that Spielberg was instrumental in convincing Abrams and Kennedy to make it happen.

If you want to make a request it’s probably in your best interest to not be anonymous. I usually can’t make a gif right when you ask me so unless you check back here regularly (and I hope that you do!) you might miss it. If you’re off anon then I can at least message you when it’s done.
What is your favorite Star Wars film ?
The Empire Strikes Back, no question. It is the pinnacle of quality in the original trilogy and a perfect match of vision and cinematic brilliance.
Friendly reminder, I’ll take and consider any requests you may have for new gifs! I’ll make a gif of anything Star Wars related.
