Kathleen Kennedy Explains How She Convinced JJ Abrams to Direct "Star Wars: Episode VII"Posted: February 2nd, 2013 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
Disney recently confirmed that JJ Abrams has signed on to direct "Star Wars: Episode VII," something that the director has been denying ever since the studio acquired Lucasfilm. So clearly it took some convincing to bring Abrams on board.
According to producer Kathleen Kennedy, she first had a conversation with Abrams' agent, who said that the director is too deeply involved in the "Star Trek" franchise, as well as numerous TV projects to consider the "Star Wars" job. But Abrams still agreed to meet with Kennedy, who revealed that her persuasive pitch was "Please do 'Star Wars.'"
During the meeting, Abrams explained his concerns, including taking time away from his family and stepping into such a big job. Ultimately, he was very impressed with Kennedy and was excited to learn that Michael Arndt (Toy Story 3) was writing the script and Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi) was consulting.
Meanwhile, Chris Pine (Star Trek) also commented on the news, stating that he's very disappointed that Abrams won't return to direct "Star Trek 3," but added: "JJ is a science-fiction genius. To have him over in the 'Star Wars' camp is going to be a great thing. I'm sure it's going to be a great film."

The thing is that Kennedy HAD to talk someone into this thing is the big point.
It's not like she was fighting them off or had the pick of the litter to choose from. As I've read this, many directing talents turned this down.
Wonder why?
They're big shoes to fill of the original trilogy, but I think it's INDIANA JONES and STAR WARS by Lucas of wanting total control was the reason many backed away from.
Abrams was the only was brave (or foolish) enough to take this on...with talented support.
I'd say Kennedy got a pretty good catch...
