ST Star Wars Episode VII Wrapping Production

Wut?

 

Does this look like someone who isn't fan friendly?

nothing new, it's just the Falcon.
and he released that in retaliation to Zack Snyder, nothing to do with the fans (wasn't really meant for the fans anyways).

 

Did they really finish???
There may not have been any dancing Ewoks, but the cast and crew of Star Wars: Episode VII threw down at a massive gala this weekend to celebrate the end of principal photography.
But … it’s a little premature. Sources close to the film tell EW there are still a few more days of shooting, but the party was held a little early while most of the cast and crew was still together.

@starocean90

3 Weeks before the 6th of November Kathleen Kennedy said there is three weeks of Filming left and then we wrap so by a few days they probably mean around the 6th of November, I could totally by that they wanted to have the wrap party when everybody was still around and some actors were already finished shooting and some still had a few more days to shoot. That might have been why we did not get a promotional cast and crew photo on one of the Lucasfilms/Disney websites yet

 

I'd like to see a blooper reel on the DVD that shows a flash mob on set...dancing to the tune of Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus. Even though they're not rappers... Carry on.

 

Fixed

 

Like some one else said on here I cant remember who, I hope to see a section in the J.W. Rinzler book dedicated to Harrisons Injury.

 

Personally, I can't wait until the day when Harrison's injury has become a very minor detail in the Ep. 7 production story.

 

I'd love for them to adapt Harrison's injury into a thrilling Medical Drama to be put on the DVD. Benedict Cumberbach can play Harrison Ford.

In all seriousness, though, the PT was great at giving lots of good special features. I hope the ST has the same amount and quality.

 

A side note like when he was sick while filming Temple of Doom and his stunt double got extra work.

 

I thought it already was.

 

Besides the cast being announced, the only things that JJ gave us were related to Force For Change.

 

You specifically said:

We pretty much got that with his May the 4th video, which had no connection to Force For Change.

 

JJ opened his Mystery Box a tad during production. Considering the black hole of nothing JJ gave out during production of the Star Trek films, this is as much as he is comfortable to allow. There was never going to be a "Hyperspace" style site during the making of a JJ Abrams movie.

That doesn't mean there won't be any special features, the Trek flicks have been relatively stacked with them (well, once you track down all of the proper copies), just this is as much as he would show while the film was being made. Which, honestly, it more than I expected.

Still, a full-on "Hyperspace" style BTS push for a Star Wars movie during the social media age could be an interesting subject to see how it's handled. Maybe when JJ isn't behind the camera. Rebels had a lot of web videos and making-ofs released online before the show premiered. Lucasfilm still has that whole social media team (the gal hosts Rebels videos, very cute gal too). They were just on lockdown with Ep. 7 so they got to do Rebels stuff instead. Episode 8 will be interesting to see.

 

But doesn't Disney have more say over what information is released than JJ? The interplay between the two confuses me.

 

He may not have agreed to direct without the ability to control some of the early information (or mis-information in some cases) on the production. It's the way he operates... think of him as mom and dad hiding the Xmas presents trying to preserve some of the surprise.

 

I think JJ's mystery box has been peeked into a little too much.

 

Really? How?

 

All the leaked photos and artwork. I hoped the first trailer would be my first real view of the movie.
