Does STAR WARS: EPISODE VII Start Shooting Next Month?
Fan Poster by Pierre-Luc Boucher
Rumor has it that J.J. Abrams will start shooting Star Wars: Episode VII next month! I guess that would make sense as the film has been in pre-production for awhile. This information comes from Jedi News who says the movie is currently working under the pseudonym Foodles Productions Ltd, which was registered by Disney on 26th March 2013.
The site also says "that the film has been in pre-production at Pinewood Studios for three and a half months in advance of an August 2013 shooting date. We hear they have block booked the studios for 10 years and that construction of offices and facilities on-site is underway. Also storage space is being located in the local area."
The movie has to go into production sometime, so next month is as good a time as any if they are actually ready to go. If this news is legit, then it's safe to assume that they are very very close to locking down the lead actors for the film, recently rumored to be Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron, both of whom are products of Disney.
I imagine that Disney will be making some official statements about this movie at D23, so stay tuned for more information because we'll be there covering it!
