I don't wanna be overly negative or anything but this sounds like "We tried getting someone people know but couldn't & this dude wanted it so why not? The first guy left so what choice do we have?". I could be totally wrong of course, but I don't feel very confident with their main director jumping ship for Star Trek, having to take this long just to get a director & then have about a year or so to cast, film, edit & whatever else they need to do before the desired release date next Summer which will be filled to the brim with movies the general public actually cares about. Might just be cynical, but I don't have high hopes for the movie ATM.
