I have yet to see this confirmed anywhere but here.

I'm going to take a wild guess that you're the AB of AB Media Publishing? IF this is the case then where did that date come from? Is it official?

 

I hope this doesn't get locked until I get some answers.

The OP has stated that filming begins on January 21st. That's a BIG CONFIRMATION that seems to have slipped peeps attention, well, aside from me.

 

That is indeed news if it's true. I just took it with a grain of salt because the last official announcement said they had pushed filming back to spring.

 

Well, if it is a hoax Mr. Baltes is indeed very thorough. Just checked his site, IMDB, Twitter, SAG profile, pinterest, and LinkedIn Accounts. A lot of other Disney casting associated with him.

 

I'm not saying I think this guy is full of it. I just assumed he must be mistaken on that detail.

 

Yeah, I did a double take too. In his other post, he says "Despite the recent change in writers, shooting will still commence on January 21, 2014."

At least it's something to talk about.

 

Either way he's dropping a major confirm if true. The original filming rumor was AFTER Martin Luther King Day as I recall. Well, I doubt they celebrate it in the UK so Jan 21 could have been the date all along and it got garbled in translation somewhere. I just want him to confirm if this is a true confirm since he's claiming it is. Well, I guess that is a confirm, isn't it?

 

Interestingly enough, that was the rumored date six months ago. MLK, Jr. Day in the U. S.
