UPDATE: Colin Trevorrow Definitely NOT Involved With ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’

Not long ago a rumor popped up that Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) was on the list of contenders to direct Star Wars: Episode VII. The writer/director has actually had meetings at Lucasfilm and it now appears that Trevorrow has actually known about the project and been attached for quite some time. Watch the following video and skip ahead to the 21:15 mark.

I can’t speak with any specificity as to what the next thing will be. There are amazing opportunities that have arisen as a result of this. One of them, I will say, will probably create a good deal of ire against me on the Internet when people find out what it is. So, I just want to say in advance that I promise you, for all those who love the mythology that I will be tackling, trust that I love it as much as you do. And I will respect it, and hopefully make it not suck.

This video actually dates back to June. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that Trevorrow is directing. He definitely has writing experience and that Kathleen Kennedy & George Lucas have mentioned that there are multiple writers involved with the project. Trust us, this should be officially announced sometime very soon.

UPDATE: Well, the director has taken it to Twitter earlier today to announce that he is definitely NOT involved in this project but another one. Well, that’s a little disappointing and now brings up the question of what exactly he is working on.
