Josh Trank quits Star Wars Spin Off production
Director Josh Trank who was set to direct the Star Wars spin off has quit the production.
Trank was expected to direct the second Star Wars anthology film.
The series which is unconnected to the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens or the previous Star Wars films is set in the Star Wars universe.
The director who was also behind the reboot of The Fantastic Four announced his departure from the project via site StarWars.com. He said that after a tremendous amount of thought, he wanted to pursue some original creative opportunities and move forwards on a different path.
Lucasfilm's vice president has thanked Trank for his hard work and contribution wishing him all the best.
Josh Trank was announced as the director for the second spin off film in January 2014. Godzilla director Gareth Edwards will head the first.
