Zack Snyder to Make Samurai-Style Star Wars Movie

No, this is not a joke. Vulture is reporting that Snyder is officially signed on to make the first Star Wars film outside of the original continuity (well, fourth if you count the two Ewok movies and the Clone Wars animated feature). “It will be an as-yet-untitled Jedi epic loosely based on Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven Samurai, with the ronin and katana being replaced by the Force-wielding knights and their iconic lightsabers.”

Seven Samurai in space…Seven Samurai in space…hmmm…sounds familiar. Oh yeah:

Impressive how well those effects have held up. Wonder what happened to the guy who pulled that off?
