Who? The guy that made the indie sci-fi rom-com Safety Not Guaranteed, in which Aubrey Plaza inexplicably falls for crazy guy Mark Duplass because he says he can time travel, among other things.
Trevorrow had previously said he was in talks to direct an installment of a franchise with a built-in fanbase, so naturally teh INternetz went crazy saying it was Star Wars. Turns out it was this.
And he was supposed to remake Flight of the Navigator too. I'm guessing that's on hold now.

@Someguy I didn't think the third movie was that bad, but it certainly wasn't good and neither was the second. The first was carried on the strength of the writing and acting, yes it had good for its day effects but it would have worked even without these, but writing and acting have little weight in marketing trends analysis
@ToplessRobot is it bad that I'd kind of rather see his Flight of the Navigator remake?
@DontAskJeeves Navigator seems more matched to what we know of him, but remaking it at all is a bad idea. Pee-wee is what made that work.
@ToplessRobot yeah, That's probably accurate. On the bright side, at least it's an interesting choice for JP4.
Yeah, a Flight of the Navigator remake?
Well, it could always star Shia LeBouf. Current, super-scuzzy Shia LeBouf.
@ridureyu I suspect it would take place in the South, and after the robot scans the kid's brain he'll now have the voice of Larry the Cable Guy. Tell me I'm wrong.
@James.k.Polk @ridureyu @LYT apparently his zombie is still considered enough of a historical expert to continue hosting a show on the History Channel
@ridureyu @LYT Larry, sadly. died of acid reflux. Seems he tried over-the counter remedies when he really needed the surgery.

@LYT I think your wrong, Pee Wee Herman was big when Flight of the Navigator came out. Larry the Cable Guy is too out of date, it would have to be a current comedian. Maybe Jim Parsons.
@LYT Cars 2? Does that even count? That movie hardly kept my kids attention. Now if you were talking Wreck it Ralph or Toy Story that would make more sense to me.
@miketen10 Larry's the star of Cars 2. That makes him current with the kids.
