Washington Post: J.J. ABRAMS recently read the script for Episode VIII of Star Wars. And he had a reaction to it that his lifelong friend, “The Force Awakens” actor Greg Grunberg, had not ever heard from the director over their decades together in the industry.
“He read it and said something he never, ever says,” Grunberg, who plays pilot Snap Wexley in the new film, tells The Post’s Comic Riffs. Grunberg said that Abrams called the Episode VIII script “so good” that he wished he had written it.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
That is extremely encouraging! I saw VII a week ago today and I'm still on a high from it, going to see it again on the 28th too and I can't wait!. I really hope more star wars games start to come flooding out too, I was pretty let down with Battlefront but I'd love to see a new KOTOR or Force Unleashed type of game soon.
I think he did a great job, I doubt the director of VIII can top his job.
The next two films will surpass VII just because Rian Johnson is heavily involved with both of them. Abrams is pretty overrated - cool guy, but overrated.
