Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow is rumored to direct Star Wars: Episode IX

Recently on a website called SlashFilm.com, reported that (according to Umberto Gonzales from HeroicHollywood.com) Colin Trevorrow (director of Jurassic World) is rumored to be the director for Star Wars: Episode 9.

Here is the story from SlashFilm.com:

Our friend Umberto Gonzalez at Heroic Hollywood claims to have the scoop. I had been told by others that Lucasfilm was planning to announce an Episode IX director at the Comic Con panel, but could never get a good enough confirmation. Lucasfilm held the tech run-through of their panel in Hall H just a couple hours ago, so its possible that the information could have leaked out of that.

I don’t have a second source able to confirm this report at this time, but Umberto seems pretty confident — confident enough to report it a mere 16 hours away from the scheduled presentation where it could easily and quickly be debunked.
