Colin Trevorrow Isn't Directing STAR WARS; Darth Maul Voice Actor ALSO Wants To Return

Less than a day after an old interview seemingly confirmed that Colin Trevorrow would be helming Star Wars: Episode VII, the director has made it clear that he will NOT be working on the film for Disney. Peter "Darth Maul" Serafinowicz also joins the long list of actors who want a role. Check it out!

It seems that we've moved on from director's saying they want to helm Star Wars: Episode VII to them now categorically denying their involvement with the project. Safety Not Guaranteed's Colin Trevorrow seemed like one of the most likely choices out of all those so far connected to the Disney film, but after a video interview surfaced last night which seemed to confirm that he did indeed have the job, Trevorrow quickly took straight to his Twitter account to clear this up once and for all.





Meanwhile, Digital Spy caught up with Darth Maul voice actor Peter Serafinowicz to ask him for his thoughts on the plans for a new trilogy of movies. After expressing his disappointment with the prequels, he added: "I'm super-excited. I'd love to be involved in some way with it. I got to work with one of my all-time heroes. It just ended up being disappointing, because it was the most anticipated cultural event of my life - and many other people's lives. And particularly because I was so involved in it. Well, I wasn't really that involved in it - I say about four sentences in the whole thing!" It was of course Ray Park who played the now iconic Phantom Menace villain, and while Serafinowicz clearly isn't taking a return TOO seriously, how would you feel about Darth Maul being brought back somehow? Be sure to click on the link below to read the interview in full and sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!

Like I said before, Peter Jackson would be a perfect choice to helm Star Wars Episode 7. Peter Jackson is a great film director & a great stoyteller. Or J.J Abrams or Gary Ross. (Who understands characters)

People keep saying Darth Maul should come back. Clearly nobody watches cartoons anymore. It does make me wonder though if he was that upset about having very little to do in Episode I why didn't he come back to voice Maul in the Clone Wars in which he has a lot more to say and do. Don't get me wrong Sam Witwer is awesome as the character but if Maul's actor wanted more with the character you think he would have jumped at the chance to return as his character and having more to do as him. Just saying still interesting to hear though.

@AgentJ-I'm not the kind of guy who says stuff like this but if Back to the Future were to be remade I would get a pitchfork and fire stick and start burning things down. There are some things that should never ever be remade and that is one of them. Let us not think of that. Maybe he'll helm the new Godzilla or maybe a new unnanounced Superhero film or maybe something completely different. Just never say that again.

I love Pete in Spaced, that "Clever Boys..." line was well executed.
As far as Trevorrow is concerned, I'm calling it: He's directing Justice League.
It better not be a Howard remake. Not now that it's with Disney. As if Gerber wasn't pissed enough at the first one (which did at least adapt quite a bit of the comics), he'd come back from the dead to kill us all, if that happened. Besides, I know the film had it's faults, but who can't love it? It's cheesy '80s goodness. And I consider it cannon to the MCU, anyway, due to the fact that Joe Johnston did the ultralite plane sequence.

To be fair, Serafinowicz doesn't state that he wants to return as Darth Maul... he could easily have a cameo or minor role as another character, it's not exactly like casual audience members will even realize he voiced Maul, since he had so few lines and such a distinctive look.
AC1
AC1 - 11/19/2012, 11:43 AM
And I'd rather not see Maul return. If new Star Wars is going to work it needs to bring something new to the table, meaning no recycled characters, no recycled plots... hell, I don't even really want to see the Sith return.

I'd rather see perhaps the last remnants of the Galactic Empire try to conquer the New Republic. I mean, the film's are called Star Wars but I never really got the sense that a war was ever going on. It was always about Luke and Vader (and rightly so) but these new films are an opportunity to do something different, and while we obviously want (a) central character(s), it'd be cool and new for these films to show a proper war, Jedi vs Empire, now that both sides could be evenly matched (Prequels: Jedi + allies Outnumbered the badguys, Original: Empire outnumbered Jedi).

That would be a bad ass movie

IronManny819 - 11/19/2012, 1:25 PM
Yeah, Darth Maul was sweet and I always like to see Ray Park find work, but let him stay dead, along with all the other villains. This is a new trilogy and it needs some new characters. With the exception of Luke, Han and Leia of course. And even at that, Idk if I'd want them as main characters.
Metalvodka
Metalvodka - 11/19/2012, 2:18 PM
Screw that bringing Maul back. I have an idea. What if the Emporer never died at the end of Jedi. He actually escaped the fall after being thrown by Vader down that shaft and used the force to save himself. Hence he then rebuilds the Sith.

It's pretty clear that Colin will be helming Masters of the Universe. So let that be a lesson to those who speculate on nothing but a twitter post, and unfounded assumptions.
Steve993
Steve993 - 11/19/2012, 2:43 PM
@Metalvodka-We already had something like that in the 90s that was crap. They called it Dark Empire. The only good thing to come out of it was the Return of Boba Fett to the franchise. Also people clearly have not been paying attention to what I've been saying. As of right now on Star Wars: The Clone Wars Maul is alive. Sure he'll no doubt be killed again apparently he and Savage his brother will fight Sidious in new season but for now he is alive so don't think of new weird ways to ressurect him yet.
