I love the Star Wars films, and I can’t wait to see what J.J. does, but it meant I’d have to shut down one dream to participate in another. I feel like [with Tomorrowland] we’re making something that’s really special and unique.” Mr. Bird, you need to make a space epic. It can be Star Wars, the Incredibles sequel, maybe, or, even better, an original story concept.  I need a space epic directed by Brad Bird in my life. Animated or live-action.

Brad Bird confirms interest in Incredibles sequel

With superhero sequels ten a penny these days, its somewhat surprising that we’ve yet to see a follow-up to 2004’s The Incredibles, although according to Brad Bird, there could yet be a sequel coming our way…

A sequel to the Incredibles would be awesome but let’s focus on the Brad Bird and Star Wars bit a little more:

Meanwhile, Bird’s name was one that was recently linked to the director’s chair forStar Wars: Episode VII, a position he claims he was forced to turn down on account of his schedule.

“I’ve known Kathy [Kennedy] for a while and I know George [Lucas],” reveals Bird, “and they did come to me. But the problem was, the schedule they had in mind made it impossible to do…unless I dropped Tomorrowland.

 …

“I really want to see this movie. I love the Star Wars films, and I can’t wait to see what J.J. does, but it meant I’d have to shut down one dream to participate in another. I feel like [with Tomorrowland] we’re making something that’s really special and unique.”

Mr. Bird, you need to make a space epic. It can be Star Wars, the Incredibles sequel, maybe, or, even better, an original story concept. 

I need a space epic directed by Brad Bird in my life. Animated or live-action.

In the meantime, I’ll be sitting here, watching The Iron Giant for the 100th time while I wait for Tomorrowland to hit theaters.
