300 Director to Develop Star Wars Standalone Based on Seven Samurai

[R.Nevermore]

I'm interested, but not with Zack Snyder as the director. His directorial style is . . . I'm not even sure if I can come up with the words to properly describe it. It's like a codfish trying to be sexy with a blob of lemon jello.

. . .

I'm going to stick with that. It's as good as anything else I could come up with.

Somehow that analogy fits perfectly

I'm glad that this isn't happening. I don't have to expect every fight scene to look like 300... Just like it did in watchmen and sucker punch

As long as it's Star Wars Live Action, I will love it. If it's another full CGI length like the last movie to kickstart the cartoon wars, then it will fail.

Sounds awesome, now all they need is Star Wars Samurai armour and my brain will melt!

...And now Zack Snyder says he's not doing it.
Oh wells. Nothing of value was gained, nothing of value was lost.

I actually quite like Zack Snyder, although it must be said that if he wants to make Standalone stories, I strongly suggest he just consider doing the books that aren't based on Jedis. It would be a refreshing take, I think. Sadly, I've never read any of the books, but a Zack Snyder helmed Shadows of the Empire would be pretty cool, and my knowledge of SotE is based solely on what I remember of the N64 game.

I think regardless of Man of Steel succeeding or not, though, I don't think Snyder will want to take over Star Wars, really. I have the feeling his acceptance of it would be the same as Quentin Tarantino's to some degree.

Still, I'd probably watch it.
