Harrison Ford's Injury Could Keep Him Out of "Episode VII" for 8 Weeks It looks like that ankle injury that Harrison Ford suffered on the set of Star Wars Episode VII may be a little more serious than expected. According to reports from Variety, the injury Harrison Ford sustained on the set of Star Wars Episode VII could bench the actor for up to eight weeks. Ford was injured after the hydraulic door of the Millennium Falcon reportedly fell and hit him on the “Star Wars” set at Pinewood Studios in England last Thursday, breaking his ankle. The actor was airlifted to hospital shortly thereafter. According to Harrison's son Ben Ford, via Yahoo, Harrison Ford may require surgery. Shooting is set to continue and “Episode VII” is expected to stay on schedule for its December 18, 2015 theatrical release. Source: Variety and Yahoo |
Star Wars: Episode VII' Could Get Pushed Back to 2016 Harrison Ford's publicist informed CNN that the 71-year old actor actually broke his leg. Initially, it was only thought that Ford would be unable to film for eight weeks. However, it is now said that this injury will keep him off the set for actually six months. Word on the street is that the film might end up having to be pushed back, and may arrive in May 2016 instead of its original Dec 18, 2015 release date. Source: FirstShowing via CNN |
According to MovieWeb, multiple new reports claim that Han Solo will actually be on a mission to find a missing Luke Skywalker, gathering a search party and taking them on a galaxy-wide hunt for the Jedi Master. Here is a new synopsis that has popped up online, though it hasn't been confirmed by Disney or LucasFilm:
Old smuggler Han Solo takes a group of new characters on a journey across the galaxy to find an old friend who has gone missing.
We have heard that Thomas starts the film on the side of the villains. Thomas is shot down over Tatooine and he is injured from the crash. The things we heard from Abu Dhabi about a crashed ship is rumored to have been Thomas' fighter. Rachel rescues him from the wreckage and the elements of the sandy planet. Over the course of their "unlikely pairing," Thomas sees the reality of the universe and he defects from the side of the villains and decides to help Rachel for saving his life. However, things are not easy for the character because unlike most of the rebels we've met in the series, none were traitors, they were always on the side of right from the beginning. However, it appears Rachel and Thomas have an innocent flirtation in their first film with hints at romance in the future episodes. I often hear Thomas is a Jedi in the film, but I am beginning to think he might start that journey midway through Star Wars: Episode VII, which is why he has a lightsaber according to many reports.
All of this is to be taking as rumor at this point. So you never know. Star Wars: Episode VII has been delayed to May 16, 2016. Supposedly. Source: Movieweb and Making Star Wars |

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
http://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/..._139562688.jpgStar Wars Episode 7 was an emotional experience for Kevin Smith (Picture: Kevin Smith/Instagram) It’s no secret that filmmaker Kevin Smith is a big fan of Star Wars – something which is made even more obvious by his reaction to visting the Episode 7 set.
The Clerks director was apparently so overwhelmed by his trip behind the scenes of the sci-fi blockbuster – which cranked up production last month – that he was actually in tears when he posted this selfie afterwards. However he was quick to reassure his followers, saying: ‘Tears of joy – don’t worry’ – but offered no further clues to what he might have seen on his visit. Star Wars 7, directed by JJ Abrams, has been filming at Pinewood after a stint in Abu Dhabi, with production continuing despite the recent setback of Harrison Ford’s broken leg. http://metro.co.uk/2014/07/02/clerks...ional-4784386/ The nose drivel has me more convinced than the tear. Your grain of salt, Smith usually only glows about his bts experiences on movie sets. |

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
J.J. Abrams is "building a tactile world, a world you can touch. And he's replicating it with all the love of somebody that has the world's greatest collection of Star Wars figures," the "Clerks" director gushed.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sit...11/smith_a.jpg Kevin Smith Despite a blurry, leaked image of the Millennium Falcon, there's been few tangible details released from J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII set. So, on June 30, when Clerks director Kevin Smith posted an Instagram photo teasing that he had visited the set at the U.K.'s Pinewood Studios, Star Wars fans clamored to tease any hint of what Abrams had been planning for George Lucas' universe. Smith -- a dedicated Star Wars fan who earlier wrote a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter detailing his dream for the new film -- quickly dashed hopes by noting that he had signed a non-disclosure agreement. But he liked what he saw: "all I can share are this old Bantha-Tracks subscriber's tears and snotty nose of joy. The Force is WITH this movie." The Instagram post left plenty of unanswered questions. And the director has addressed a few of them, speaking at length during an appearance at Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival in Switzerland on Saturday. "[Abrams] had sent me an email out of the blue while they were shooting in Abu Dhabi last month," Smith said, explaining the Star Wars invite. "So we go to the set and they're actually shooting, and they're shooting -- and this is what I can't tell you what they were shooting -- But what I saw I absolutely loved," he said. "It was tactile, it wasn't a series of f---ing green and blue screens in which later on digital characters would be added. It was there it was happening." "I saw uniforms, I saw artillery that I haven't seen since I was a kid. I saw them shooting an actual sequence in a set that is real -- I walked across the set, there were explosions -- and it looked like a shot right out of an f--ing Star Wars movie," he said. Smith also got a tour of "Stage M," where he he saw the full scale Millennium Falcon and stepped inside to walk around. STORY: 'Star Wars' Adds Two New Cast Members Abrams is "building a tactile world, a world you can touch. And he's replicating it with all the love of somebody that has the world's greatest collection of Star Wars figures," Smith gushed. Smith was a guest of honor at the Swiss film festival, which runs from July 4-12. Video of the event is here (NSFW language included), via Slashfilm. The Star Wars discussionbegins after the 35 minute mark. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hea...episode-716843 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is more of the same, but I love hearing about all the practical being used. Hearing this news is making it hard for me to temper my expectations. I will say that it appears Abrams has a genuine love for the material. |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Freerunner, Parkour expert and amateur actor Pip Andersen... and unknown actress Crystal Clarke have been added to the casting sheet.
Looking interesting. Abrams going with unknowns is a good thing... it's in keeping with the original films... and a parkour runner? No doubt a Force Character. |

Well it seems that Star Wars Episode VII will indeed be heading back on its schedule as planned for December 18th, 2015. Disney has announced that the shooting schedule has been laid out. They will take two weeks off in August to give Ford enough time to recuperate, and NOTHING will stop them from reaching that 2015 release date. Source: Ain't It Cool |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
It's being shot in IMAX. I fell in love with the look of the IMAX in a non-documentary form in The Dark Knight so this gets me excited. Unfortunately there's no real IMAX screen here in St. Louis so I'm going to have to plan a road trip. Yes, I'm willing to drive 3-600 miles for this.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
agreed. DKR was magnificent in IMAX and worth every cent for the premium. I haven't seen a movie in a Dbox theater yet, but the sound in the IMAX theater rattled the seats.
It is lost on me why there are not more movies shown in IMAX. Its obvious how big a push there is to upsale people, but I can't do it for 3D. Noah is the only movie this year that I can think of shown in IMAX. Maybe Nolan will share his thoughts on 3D with Abrams. |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I think the problem with IMAX is not just cost... I'm not big on the specs of the IMAX cameras but I heard they're gigantic heavy cumbersome things and make filming a pain to complete.

If his "hand" is robotic, let alone even if it's able to get there after all those years, wouldn't it burn up in the planet's atmosphere by the time it lands and become dust? To me the whole thing sounds ridiculous. |
this sounds fishy to me, seems too much like "A New Hope", except with a hand instead of the droid

WARNING: "SWVII Plot" spoilers below
The main villains of Ep 7 are Jedi Hunters... Sith Inquisitors will play a major part in the plot apparently, these characters are shady, cloak-and-dagger style people who work like a secret society of Dark Force users. In short terms, they're a Sith Empire, with a hierarchy and internal political system. Here's a pic of one such Inquisitor holding Vader's broken helm. It's believed that this very one will be one of the main villains. He's a kind of a cyborg. Half living, half robot. Kinda like Vader and Grievous, and many other Siths before him. https://indierevolver.files.wordpres...inquisitor.png |

I actually think starting off the Sequel Trilogy with Tatooine is a good move. It's an iconic Star Wars location and will immediately give the first film some credibility. I've always liked that the Star Wars universe is so big, but we only see a fraction of it. The original trilogy only takes place in a handful of locations (Tatooine, Hoth, Bespin, Endor moon, Death Star), giving you the sense that there's far more out there to be explored. The prequels sorta ruined all that, taking us to a ton of planets that were terribly uninteresting and uninspired (Naboo, Kamino, Geonosis, Mustafar). The Sequel Trilogy might introduce worlds we haven't seen, but I truly hope they preserve the feel of the originals, where maybe we don't have to see a new place every five minutes. |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
The thing about planets we've seen is that we can relate to them, Endor-forest, Tatooine-desert, Hoth-ice/snow, Coruscant-city, bespin- sky/clouds etc. when you start trying to create planets with unfamiliar envioronments it's going to look weird, test the limits of the writers creativity.
Suppose I don't actually mind going back to Tatooine as long as there is an actual reason to be there. Not the nonsensical anakin Skywalker grew up here too, who knew. |

From DigitalWack.com:
Anthony Daniels Talks New C-3PO Costume in 'Star Wars 7'
If you were wondering whether the new C-3PO will be CGI, or if Anthony Daniels is crawling back into that metallic suit on set, the man himself has provided the answer. He will be playing the iconic robot once again, this time for director J.J. Abrams in Star Wars: Episode VII. When J.J. Abrams called the actor to return for the movie, it was originally for a voice role only. Anthony Daniels explains how that transpired into what he is currently shooting, describing the new C-3PO suit along the way, and why it's important that C-3PO never be CGI again in a movie: I will tell you that when [director] J.J. Abrams rang me to ask about filming Star Wars: Episode VII, one of the first things he said after he told me how wonderful I was - and that didn't take long - but he then said, "Would you be interested in being in the film just doing the voice?" I said, "No," and he said, "Right!" He knew I'd say that. There's no way I would just do the voice. I also said that it can't be the same suit. I will tell you that the team then got together and built a new suit. They made an entirely new look-a-like with changes that you will never notice [on screen] that made my life a lot easier. I can get it on and off very quickly. He elaborated: [During the prequels], the only time [Threepio has] been CG was when it was very dangerous [to act in the scene in a suit] - and it wasn't very good. In fact, I'm going to say it was awful. One of the difficulties is with a character that you know and love so well is that, as a member of the audience, you go, "Oh no, that's not right. No, he doesn't move like that." With me [in the suit], he's always going to move the same way and have the same reactions, timing, and so on. With CG, you're working with some brilliant person on the keyboard who is trying to pretend to be me. The only time that has worked without doubt is Disney's Star Tours: The Adventures Continue [theme park ride]. There's an element in the pre-show which is digital and I cannot tell it's not me. It's brilliantly done by Disney. |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Anthony Daniels is a complete and utter douchebag. He refused to even speak to Kenny Baker (R2-D2) because he basically viewed him as lower class.
As above, "no I'm not doing Star Wars unless I get to be in the suit". |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
True... Daniels is one of the biggest arseholes in the business. Not just Baker got the treatment though. I heard almost everyone got treated like filth by the guy.
Can't really see why he has such an ego though. He's a Mime who played 3PO in 6 films over the past 40 years and then played... erm... yeah. Anything else? Can't recall any other work he's had. I remember watching the features on one of the prequel DVDs... he was wondering through the set dressed in the suit and his vision is impaired through that mask. Nobody told him to stop... everyone just let him crash into a low piece of the set which he couldn't see, and he went arse-over-tit. The camera cuts to the cast and crew and they're just standing there with great big sh*t eating grins on their faces. Nobody helped him up either as far as I can remember. |

A video supposedly containing leaked footage from Star Wars: Episode VII has appeared online yesterday on Youtube, showing some form of footage from the film which was shown to be shot in Ireland.
The video showed what appeared to be a bearded man in a Jedi cloak kneeling in some sort of cave or small shrine while another man lingers at the door casting a shadow. We also see some shots of the cloaked figure walking around the island in various spots. It felt more like test footage than final shots for the film. The video was not only pulled off of YouTube, but the account associated with it has been closed. So I would presume the video was real. Luckily some screenshots were taken... http://static.squarespace.com/static...5/?format=750w http://static.squarespace.com/static...3/?format=750w http://static.squarespace.com/static...4/?format=750w http://static.squarespace.com/static...7/?format=750w http://static.squarespace.com/static...5/?format=750w Source: TechnoBuffalo |
I keep reading this all over, which it's true, that Star Wars has always been a summer release kind of film. It just won't feel the same to have it out in the winter. Yes, Star Wars fans will out to see no matter what, but it still won't feel the same. And if you're a true fan of either Star Wars or even the movies themselves you'd understand.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I'm just glad the story is moving forward. It always bugs me when the story reverts back to before all the interesting, iconic things happened. It's like, "look look, foreshadowing!" I think that's what bugs me about Smallville and Gotham, basing shows around iconic characters, before they take on the mantle. It's like all based around "look there's Penguin! Oh look, there are bats back there, foreshadowing!" I don't know, I just prefer seeing those characters. I like Star Trek TNG, but have no interest in seeing Picard's awkward teen years.

Empire Strikes Back. Return of the Jedi. Phantom Menace. Revenge of the Sith. Those are strong, evocative titles. If however you see The Force Awakens on a marquee it's unlikely to set your imagination ablaze |

The teaser trailer will be released really soon. It’s 1 min long, and it's going to be VERY similar to the Episode II “breathing” teaser, with NEW characters and the Falcon. No confirmation of the Big 3 in the teaser. Plan A - release it with the Hunger Games ("possibly" Into the Woods) . Plan B- with Shield “December 16 . Both will probably be done. Expect it to be online same day. Unless it gets released earlier by some freakish chance.

Full description of teaser :
WARNING: "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" spoilers below
It will be short, about 1 minute long, and it’s going to be VERY similar to the Episode II “breathing” teaser. It’s going to have The Force Theme played on woodwinds, softly, over flashing images of the main leads, each fading to black. There’s no dialogue, just reveals of the characters. And then the music swells up into a full John Williams orchestral piece. We hear a female voice, likely Daisy Ridley’s, saying ‘Wake up.’ The title card appears - Star Wars: The Force Awakens - and we see the Millennium Falcon, firing blasters, coming right at the camera."

I like that title. As the first chapter of a new trilogy, it's nice. Better than A New Hope and The Phantom Menace. It's an awakening of something that's been asleep for over 30 years. The last trilogy doesn't count as it was set before the original trilogy. The franchise is waking up. |

Adam Driver's character is said to be the one who has The Force "awaken" in him and Solo's dying wish is for Luke to spare Driver's life... however it turns out afterward that Driver's character is evil as hell, causing Luke a problem. This will push the plot along in parts VIII and IX. Ford has got his wish. Han is to die on screen, and die like a Hero. News is 10 hours old and comes from multiple sources. The trailer is out next week too. |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
To click or not too click, life and the Rodent have presented me with one of those massive life choices.

Don't read it gandalf, I'm pissed I did. Though i can't imagine it will be a secret for long if it's true.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I wasn't gonna then I just did it. ****s sake Rodent. But I suppose it would be impossible to avoid that for a whole year.
I'd probably prefer for Jar Jar to be in it than have that happen. |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I warned ya!

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I really don't see how this is going to be any good if they're seriously going to star the original cast in the lead roles. I really don't see how Harrison Ford's going to fire a blaster unless it's attached to his walker.
Having them show up in a cameo role is one thing - but making them the lead characters just sounds like an awful decision from the get-go. It'll feel like one of those cheesy "Reunion" films of some old TV show that airs reruns on TV Land (like "Gilligan's Island") |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I think it can work if they are main characters but a few of many other main characters. I mean Luke Skywalker is likely to still be a major player in the Galaxy being "the" Jedi Master/leader of hopefully quite a few force using characters. Leia of course is a force user equal to Luke so she should still be a major player and assuming Han has married Leia he is probably still a General/Admiral or perhaps recently retired.
So it makes sense that the three are still "main" characters but probably NOT the "leads" as you suggest. |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Leia will definitely be a Force user as the Force is strong within the entire Skywalker bloodline and she had Luke to teach her as well... but when it comes to her role within the new films, she will more likely be a Political figure within the rebuilt government.
Maybe even a Queen. Can't see her as being part of the Jedi Order exactly, but certainly a Force character. |
Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Leia could be Emperor and Luke her henchman like his father before him.

An early 88-second tease of Star Wars: The Force Awakens can be seen in 30 theaters across North America beginning Friday morning, November 28. Following this weekend, the tease can be seen in theaters around the world this December.
StarWars.Com has released a list of all 30 theaters across the United States and Canada that will be showing the teaser trailer. I'm pretty sure the trailer will be released/leaked online shortly after...or even before for that matter. AZ PHOENIX HARKINS TEMPE MARKETPLACE CA LOS ANGELES AMC CENTURY CITY CA LOS ANGELES Indep EL CAPITAN CA IRVINE REGAL SPECTRUM IRVINE 21 CA SAN FRANCISCO AMC METREON 16 CA SAN JOSE CINEMARK OAKRIDGE 20 CA SAN DIEGO REGAL MIRA MESA 18 CAN TORONTO CPX YOUNGE & DUNDAS CAN VANCOUVER CPX RIVERPORT CO DENVER AMC WESTMINSTER 24 DC WASH D.C AMC TYSONS CORNER 16 FL MIAMI CARMIKE PARISIAN 20 GA ATLANTA REGAL ATLANTIC STATION IL CHICAGO REGAL CITY NORTH MA BOSTON AMC BOSTON COMMONS 19 MI DETROIT CINEMARK SHOWCASE 20 MN MINNEAPOLIS AMC SOUTHDALE MO KANSAS CITY AMC STUDIO 30 NY NEW YORK AMC LINCOLN SQUARE 12 NY NEW YORK REGAL UNION SQUARE OH CLEVELAND CINEMARK CINEMARK 24 PA PHILADELPHIA REGAL WARRINGTON 22 TN NASHVILLE CARMIKE THOROUGHBRED 20 TN KNOXVILLE REGAL PINNACLE TX DALLAS CINEMARK WEST PLAN 20 TX HOUSTON REGAL MARQ*E STADIUM 23 TX AUSTIN ALAMO ALAMO S LAMAR UT SALT LAKE CITY CINEMARK CINEMARK 24 WEST JORDAN WA SEATTLE REGAL THORNTON PLACE 14 WI MILWAUKEE MARCUS BROOKFIELD 16 |

J.J Abrams hasn't released any info about international theaters at all. Doesn't seem likely. Probably international theaters will just have to wait until December for it's official worldwide release unless you catch it online beforehand.
