Another one bites the dust - Brad Bird rules himself O.U.T.

Well another day means another big name director taking themselves out of the picture; the "Star Wars Episode VII" picture that is. Today's director-who'll-be-the-first-in-line-to-see-Ep7 is Brad Bird. “The science fiction film I AM doing, is gonna be cool,” he said via a fan hookup on Twitter. That cool film he's referring to is "1952", a film about which little is known at this point.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this Star Wars thing is supposed to be a coveted gig isn't it?

May the force be with you 'cause I'm outa here.
