I can. Jurassic World was a huge hit... of course doors are going to open for him. Think of how much excitement can be generated for your film if the trailer says it's directed by the man behind the 3rd highest-grossing movie of all time?

Jurassic World was terrible. That's why I don't like the Trevorrow hire. Star Wars doesn't need to advertise the director to sell the movie.

Jurassic World storyline is so cliche and awful. I am completely sick of the same white, heteronormative love story being shoved down my throat by Hollywood. I can't watch a movie about dinosaurs running on a rampage in a park without them forcing a pasty male and a pasty female into a no-chemistry, forced-smile, by-the-way romantic subplot. I have probably seen forty-five variations of the same bland ****ing couple falling in love. Oh wait! Now they're falling in love during WAR TIME. SO ORIGINAL. BUT WAIT. NOW THEY'RE SEPARATED BECAUSE OF LIGHT-HEARTED EMBARRASSING MISUNDERSTANDINGS. ****ING DELIGHTFUL. GOD

This is why Jurassic Park is waay better and the best in the series. None of this horrible predictable love during chaos routine.

Thank God that Star Wars' first films are the best in each saga - Phantom Menace, A New Hope, The Force Awakens.

This reminds me of that petitioned to let Jonathan Frakes direct Star Trek Beyond. I don't think either are good ideas.

What I would like is if they gave Uncle George a recurring cameo like Stan Lee. It's like poetry... it rhymes.

Frakes' direction on First Contact was great, and he's done a few tv episodes I've enjoyed. His handling of Insurrection was the least of that film's problems, and I LIKED Insurrection.

Thunderbirds on the other hand...yeah. Let's not go there again.

Erm, I don't know what you're smoking to believe Phantom Menace is better than Revenge of the Sith.


Also, Trevorrow as the director makes me REALLY worried, but also, I still have hope. Jurassic World was a blockbuster action movie. Was it a bad movie? For me, not really. It's just fun to watch for a first viewing, maybe a second if you're bored at night and have nothing to do. Is it soulless and just made for money, and has terrible writing? Yup.

However, the movie itself LOOKED good. The cinematography was pretty well handled, which is partly do to Trevorrow... What I'm saying is that we've got Rian Johnson writing the movie, who's a great story-teller. If he pumps out a great script for Episode 8, and with Kathleen Kennedy overseeing the project, I'm pretty sure Episode 9 will be good. I don't think it'll be good as Episodes 7 and 8 per say, and will probably be the weakest of the trilogy, but it does have a possibility to be good.


JUST ANYONE BUT LUCAS.

Jurassic World was a great movie if you turn your brain off and just enjoy Chris Pratt and dinosaurs.

Hell, not even a lobotomy makes The Phantom Menace watchable. Not sure what's going on with <cough> other people <cough> that they like it. Possession, maybe?
