During an interview with ABC Radio (which is owned by Disney), Star Wars: Episode VII producer Kathleen Kennedy said that an announcement would be forthcoming next month, though she offered no details about what, though I’d assume it would be something like the director, which seems like the next logical step in the production.
Here’s the quote, which I’m probably reading more into than I should:
What else can she tell us about the new Star Wars project? She teases, “I have no immediate update, but hopefully in January I’ll have something that I can say.”
Star Wars: Episode VII is set for release in 2015.
