While we know for sure that Star Wars Episode VII will film in London, England the persistent question has been when will this movie get rolling?
Director J.J. Abrams may have an answer.
In a conference call with "The Hollywood Reporter" the other day, Abrams revealed that he will be moving to London this January for some pre-production work and that shooting should begin early next year.
The thing that concerns me is that assuming the film follows a 180 day shooting schedule like the last few Star Wars films have, that leaves very little time for the movie to be ready by summer 2015. Traditionally Star Wars films have been released in May so assuming that filming starts in March of 2014, you're talking only about nine months of post production to get the film ready for release. Keep in mind that Lucas took twice that long in post production with his films. Then again different directors move at different speeds. I'm still hopeful this movie will hit in 2015 but I wouldn't be surprised if it was moved to 2016.
Either way Disney's gotta get some casting going tout suite if they want to start filming early next year.
J.J. Abrams Star Trek Into Darkness is in theaters now.
