No Star Wars for Zack Snyder

Los Angeles: American film director Zack Snyder is not involved with the new Star Wars films. The Man of Steel filmmaker was previously rumoured to be directing Star Wars Episode 7 after Walt Disney bought the franchise from George Lucas last year. It was thought he was also working on a spin-off movie alongside the sci-fi production.
