Don't know if you all heard, but Zack Snyder is working on a new Star Wars film that deals with characters not of 1-6 Eps. It may be a EU movie. This is in addition to the normal movies that Disney is working on. CHeck out IGN.com for the article today.

Zack Snyder Denies Parallel 'Star Wars' Movie

"Star Wars" fans might have to settle for just one universe for now. Just hours after a report emerged on Monday that controversial director Zack Snyder
 might be developing
 his own "Star Wars" movie that has nothing to do with the "Episode VII" reboot, the "Man of Steel" helmer's reps denied the Vulture blog story.

"While he is super-flattered because he is a huge fan, Zack is not involved in any way with the new 'Star Wars.'" His rep told the Hollywood Reporter. "He is currently in post on his two films, 'Man of Steel' and '300: Battle of Artemisia.'"

The original story claimed that Snyder's phantom flick would be "loosely based on Akira Kurosawa's 1954 classic 'Seven Samurai,' with the ronin and katana being replaced by the Force-wielding knights and their iconic lightsabers."

For those unfamiliar with the Kurosawa classic, "Seven Samurai" tells the story of a small farming village that hires a group of sword-wielding warriors to defend their homes from bandits. If that plot seems familiar to you, it's because the film has been remade as "The Magnificent Seven," and Pixar borrowed some elements for "A Bug's Life." Additionally, George Lucas has often cited Kurosawa as one of his greatest sources of inspiration.

When Disney first announced its acquisition of Lucasfilm, CEO Bob Iger said that the plan for the series was first and foremost a new trilogy, but also a new film set in the universe every two to three years. Vulture's sources said that Snyder's film would go into production after "Episode VII," which could mean that "Episode VIII" would not be the immediate follow-up to the new trilogy's first installment.

Given the roulette wheel of speculation that has been turning for the past month about which director might take the helm of the first movie in the new trilogy,
 it's not out of the question that Snyder's name made it into the mix. Everyone from J.J. Abrams to Jon Favreau and Joseph Kosinski ("Oblivion").

 

[Drakul]

Yeah that sounded off from the start. No way Disney would make an announcement for director so close to announcing the movie.

 

[nemenforcer]

I knew it was to good to b true but maybe it will open some doors

 

[Centurion]

Yeah, maybe it'll at least get other talents thinking about doing it instead.

 

[DerekDeS]

Snyder is an alright Director but I think it should be Kevin Smith!

Now that would be awesome!

 

[DarthChrisDK]

Aww, bummer! Would've been great to see what Snyder could pull. Maybe the story will get him interested. Hopefully.

Another 300 movie? Can this be for real? I loved that original movie!!!!

 

[Chaosorb]

Original movie!? How many different versions of 300 are out there? I was under the impression there was only one 300 movie made.

I majored in ancient military history was only aware of this story. My guess is that they r trying to make it a series maybe. Possibly similar themes. Like saying if u like 300 u will like this too

You shouldn't spend to much time on historical events. 300 is based on Frank Miller's comic book.

So will the prequel; 300: Rise of an Empire.

Of course there are historical elements, and all that. But it's not worth focusing on, if you ask me.

 

[Scarver]

There were a lot of incredible battles during that period. The Battle of Salamis, for example, would make a great movie. They have a wealth of history to choose from, during that time.

Yes, don't spend so much time on historical events, like Frank Miller did to come up with 300 in the first place.
