J.J. Abrams over Star Wars: Episode VII

J.J. Abrams vertelde in een interview over welke aspecten van de Star Wars franchise hij belangrijk vindt en gebruikt moeten worden in Star Wars: Episode VII. Zo zei hij:

“Talk about bigger than any of us. That thing is so massive and so important to so many people. I know from seeing the first film when I was 11 what that felt like. I think the key in moving forward with something like this is in honoring but not revering what came before. There’s that deep feeling of infinite possibilities that I think was the ultimate thing I thought when I first saw ‘Star Wars’ which I would — and probably will — give my left arm to try and come close to again.”

Abrams ging door en verklaarde hoe verdeeld hij was over het feit dat de film in Engeland zou worden opgenomen. Als een verdediger van filmproducties in Los Angeles, maakt Abrams zich klaar om met zijn familie te verhuizen naar het Verenigd Koninkrijk.

“[W]hen I came into it, there was already a pre-arranged thing for them to be shooting in England which, really does make me insane. I’ve never shot a movie outside the US or out of L.A… We are, most likely, if all goes ahead, going to be moving to London at the end of the year… There’s a whole lot of stuff happening at home. It’s not an easy thing.”

Star Wars: Episode VII zal vanaf zomer 2015 in de bioscoop te zien zijn.
