Tom 4,632 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I would put large sums of money that it will be JJ or Johnson. Given the Williams seemed to have a good working relationship with both, I would be fine with either. Then again, most people care more about SW than Williams, but I do not.

Matt C 452 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'm pretty sure it will be Rian Johnson or J.J. Abrams coming back for Episode IX. It's a shame Kennedy and Trevorrow couldn't work things out, but at least he wasn't booted halfway through production like Miller and Lord were on the Han Solo spin-off.

Matt C 452 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 This will almost certainly be delayed, no matter how Kennedy and Disney deny it, probably to December 2019. If Kennedy wants either J.J. or Rian, they will want time to prep and refine the script, and not jump in head-first to meet the May 2019 date. J.J. pushed Kennedy to agree to a December 2015 date for The Force Awakens, so they wouldn't rush the final product. Johnson started writing while TFA was in production and then Disney delayed The Last Jedi to December 2017 just because TFA did so well in the new release spot. They should not rush Episode IX because Trevorrow and Kennedy couldn't agree on a script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that fact that Frozen 2 is currently scheduled for late November 2019 could limit Disney's options here. You can't exactly move a winter-themed movie away from Christmas, and they won't want to delay it a full year. Maybe they would be fine with having SW come out at around the same time?

crumbs 14,296 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 The only thing I hate about this news is that it delays any chance Williams will start the score until 2019, which probably means no new Williams music at all next year. He was probably expecting to start the score mid-2018. I assume the next writer will scrap Trevorrow's script and start from scratch. Which means he will score the film when he's 87...

Disney could release Episode IX in August, September, or October 2019 and still rake in over $1 billion worldwide. That's the power of the brand and that the time of year doesn't matter anymore. I wouldn't worry about Frozen 2 eating into Episode IX's box-office earnings, they're aimed at different audiences. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,272 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Probably based on this Deadline article, which is reporting the possibility of Johnson's return as "in the air" Sounds vague, but not a surprise that it's at least being talked about. One thing that potentially mucks it up is Johnson had claimed on a podcast in June that he wanted to get a new script going this fall, might be ready to move on to something new. Then again, he did tweet this recently: I think it would really depend on what he thought of the current script, whether or not he'd be given time to do his own rewrite, delay the movie's release etc. I dunno if I see him as the type to want to jump back into it so badly that he'll play ball with whatever they've got.

crumbs 14,296 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I don't think we can underestimate the advantage JJ and Rian have simply by being familiar with the cast, crew and workings of Lucasfilm. It would allow them to hit the ground running rather than needing a few weeks to become settled into the company.
