'Jurassic World' director Colin Trevorrow is set to helm 'Star Wars: Episode IX', it's been announced.
Colin Trevorrow doesn't consider directing 'Star Wars: Episode IX' to be ''a job or an assignment''.
The 38-year-old filmmaker - who recently helmed the money-spinning 'Jurassic World' - has been tasked with directing the third movie in the latest 'Star Wars' trilogy, which will begin with the release of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens', and is eagerly looking forward to the responsibility.
Colin said: ''It is a seat at a campfire, surrounded by an extraordinary group of storytellers, film-makers, artists and craftspeople.
''We've been charged with telling new stories for a younger generation because they deserve what we all had - a mythology to call their own. We will do this by channelling something George Lucas instilled in all of us: boundless creativity, pure invention and hope.''
Meanwhile, Lucasfilm's president Kathleen Kennedy hailed Colin's film-making credentials, saying he is ''an incredible talent''.
She said: ''Colin is someone I've been interested in working with ever since I saw 'Safety Not Guaranteed'.
''The power of that film paired with the enormous success of 'Jurassic World' speaks volumes about his abilities both as a storyteller and skilled film-maker.
''We are thrilled to have such an incredible talent as Colin join our family and step into the 'Star Wars' universe.''
