1. Publicly stating that he's "pissed" that the filming of Episode VII will be in London and not Los Angeles.

2. Stating that he will "honor but not revere" the prior films, especially the original trilogy.

3. The poor box office results of Star Trek are also worrisome to some at the Mouse House.

It will be interesting to see how this develops, especially since they're on a tight schedule and according to J.J., they have not even agreed how to move forward with VII.
Those two statements alone indicate they need to fire him and go with somebody else.

This isn't about YOU JJ. It's about a beloved franchise that you don't **** with.
