Damon Lindelof has written a 'secret project' for Disney going under the title of 1951. It's a huge cross-platform project (comics, sequels, theme park rides etc) for Disney and is to be directed by Brad Bird.

Coincidental?

A Damon Lindelof Star Wars movie????

Agreed, they're a pair of nauseating little upstarts. Still, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was true. I reckon they're natural successors to Lucas, for all the good and bad that implies.

Hahaha. J.J. Abrams has been confirmed as the director of the next Star Wars movie. Wonder how much lens flare you get from a light saber?

That's not official. Just a rumour that's spread like wildfire.

I hope it's not true though. I mean, how many franchises are team abrams planning on screwing up?
