Josh Trank Reinstated As Director Of Doomed Star Wars Project
BURBANK, CA — Never let it be said that Alan Horn is a heartless film executive. This morning, the Chairman of Walt Disney announced that exiled director Josh Trank will be given a second chance to atone for his checkered past. This comes on the heels of Horn re-instating Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn after having dismissed him for inappropriate tweets during the filmmaker’s Troma film days.
“Everyone should be allowed to irreparably destroy their careers at least twice. I’m not a monster. I get it. Things happen. So Joshie [Trank] is getting another crack at a doomed project. I’m thinking the Dengar dramedy that’s been in development hell for years,” said Horn via conference call with FSW and Entertainment Weekly.
Trank, who had been attached to a Boba Fett spinoff before crashing and burning, is excited by the opportunity to further tarnish his name, while fast tracking the destruction of the Star Wars brand.
“I am tremendously grateful to every person out there who has supported me over the last two years. I am always learning and will continue to work at being the worst human being I can be,” Trank tweeted. “I deeply appreciate Disney’s decision and I am excited to continue making films that run wildly overbudget, resulting in total set destruction and canine carnage. My dogs and I have been, and continue to be incredibly humbled by your love and support. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Love to you all. Awhoooooooooooooooooooo-ga!”
Rosie O’Donnell, who is set to play Dengar for Trank, tweeted a simple message following news of his re-hiring: “Let’s [expletive] party!”
