Fresh off the success of Jurassic World, director Colin Trevorrow has been confirmed as director for Star Wars Episode 9.
The filmmaker's rise has been a meteoric one. Three years ago he made his feature debut with low-budget indie Safety Not Guaranteed before taking on the long-in-the-works Jurassic Park sequel.
The Chris Pratt-led Jurassic World stormed the box office this summer and has made a staggering $1.6 billion worldwide. Trevorrow is now the third most successful director in the all-time rankings behind James Cameron juggernauts Avatar and Titanic.
Reaction to Trevorrow's hiring has been decidedly mixed - take a look at a brief overview below...
So that guy who made that bad dinosaur movie is making a Star Wars movie too. http://t.co/r4vt07l60i
