Re: J.J. Abrams to direct Star Wars 7
The one thing about this is this...hiring a specific director does not necessarily guarantee success. What did people think of Prometheus, even though Ridley Scott was directing? What did people think of the SW prequels even though George Lucas was in total control of those films? What did folks think of Bryan Singer's attempt to reboot the Superman franchise?
Having Abrams as a director doesn't say nearly as much as who is writing the script, or who is acting in it does. People get so enamored with certain directors, who do have some control in the direction that the film takes, but not entirely. It might be good, it might be bad. You never know until the final result hits the screen.
