And that he politely declined.
“We
got one phone call to my agent saying, 'Is Guillermo interested?” the director

I'm pursuing stuff that I'm generating already.
“It was just a phone call, it didn't go

than being involved in the minutiae of making them," Abrams told Empire.
Steven Spielberg has also reportedly
declined to follow in the footsteps of his good friend, Star Wars creator
George Lucas.
