Eight Reasons Why JJ Abrams Is A Great Choice To Direct Star Wars | 7. He’s Available
7. He’s Available

No, this is not damning with the faint praise of scheduling. We simply mean he’s not busy on some other huge project that he’d need to be dragged away from. Abrams is a busy man, particularly as a producer, but his only directing task is the nearly done Star Trek Into Darkness. Other huge and likely names are largely committed to other things. Brad Bird’s making 1952. Joss Whedon’s directing the Avengers sequel. The only possible loser here is the Star Trek franchise, which, if Into Darkness is another hit, will need to find someone else to direct a third outing.
