Here’s all the confirmed facts we have about the second planned Star Wars Anthology film: Josh Trank is no longer directing it… And that’s it. While the recent Star Wars Celebration saw plenty of details spilled for Gareth Edwards’ Star Wars: Rogue One, Trank and his film were kept completely out of the limelight, possibly because Disney/Lucasfilm knew they were …
I’ve had a long-standing love affair with the films of Matthew Vaughn, from his latest flick, the bonkers comic-book spy romp Kingsman: The Secret Service, all the way back to his feature film debut Layer Cake.
