The director guides the cast and the entire crew. The director must overcome budget constraints, sick actors, disgruntled crew members and other obstacles to keep the artistic integrity of the film. But to the audience member the director must simply deliver (In the words of another great director : Christopher Nolan) grand scale entertainment.
Universal Studios and producers Frank Marshall and Steven Spielberg already made the smart decision of hiring the husband and wife duo who wrote [i]Rise Of The Planet of The Apes[/i] to pen JPIV. Now let's hope that a true visionary arrives to take Michael Crichton's creation into the second decade of the 21st century.
Who would you like to see direct JPIV? I think most agree that more desirable directors than Joe Johnston can step in. My list of potential directors are listed below. I did not list my favorite directors such as Chris Nolan, David Fincher, and Steven Spielberg because it is highly unlikely that they would direct.

Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code)
Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Mission Impossible IV)
Josh Whedon (The Avengers, Firefly)
Davis Yates (Harry Potter V, VI, VII, VIII)
Mathew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class)
