crumbs 14,310 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Actually, the plan to shoot Attack of the Clones began around the time The Phantom Menace was released, hence my specific choice of year. As a matter of fact, two scenes in TPM were shot with prototypes of the digital cameras, including the one where Qui-Gon sucks Anakin's blood at night (via a test tube, that is). Always thought that scene looked a little strange compared to the rest of the film. Fits right in with the Blu-ray's DNR in "Vaseline Mode," though!

MSM 126 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 On 10-7-2015 at 5:48 PM, Matt C said: I don't think fans got it yet. If Trevorrow could recapture some of that magic from JP in JW (let's face it, audiences flocked to JW in record numbers), imagine what he could do with a SW film. Especially with Williams scoring. The problem with the box office numbers is that they in fact do not reflect perse how well a movie is received. E.g., numbers might be towering in the beginning because of high expectations, but drop quickly weeks after opening, still accounting for overall high box office numbers. A better indicator of how well a movie is received would be the box office numbers as a function of time. I argue that JW wasn't so well liked, but expectations were enormous and therefore it did well. Personally I don't care so much who directs as long as JW scores...

crumbs 14,310 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I think it'd be too predictable for either Leia or Luke to die in the next film. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I'd be really sad to see brother and sister never reunite... we need to hear Luke and Leia's Theme! Pure speculation, but each trilogy ends with a key character's 'death' and funeral (at least musically). Anakin in ROTS and Vader in ROTJ. I could envisage Episode IX ending with a fatally wounded Luke being consoled by Rey (who may or may not be his daughter), after Ren fails at turning Rey to the dark side. Fittingly, she tosses him down an energy shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,286 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Just wait, there'll be another perfect opportunity for Luke/Leia and Williams will miss it like ROTS! I agree that I think 8 probably won't kill Luke or Leia. I think the major characters (Luke, Leia, Rey, Kylo, Finn, Poe, Chewie and the droids) will survive, but somebody's bound to end up in mortal peril by the end of it. Not saying that I'm expecting an Empire "remake" but I think they'll stick with that template. For 9, my feeling for now is that Luke will die and Leia will survive. Of course it may change depending on 8, whether one of them dies or it looks like the story's going another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story and setting of Jurassic World gave Trevorrow and Schwarzman more leeway visually, even if it looked blander than the first Jurassic Park. With them following J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson for Episode IX, the visual tone will have to be consistent. I'll be unhappy if Episode IX looks like JW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,310 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Rumoured production start date, ‘Star Wars: Episode 9’ begins filming in April Quote Even though the movie isn’t scheduled to hit theaters until May 23, 2019, several industry publications, including MeEntertainmentWorld.com, are reporting Star Wars: Episode IX will being production in April 2017. Production for Episode IX will be based at Pinewood Studios, Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, England, UK. Initially thought this was quite early, but considering Episode IX is still pencilled in for a summer release (rather than Christmas) it's only about 18 months post-production, about the same as VII & VIII. Of course, the earlier they shoot IX, the earlier Williams could start working on the score (if he feels up to it). He may want a well-deserved vacation after writing VIII, RP1 and KOEM in succession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,516 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Well, obviously, he'll have stormtroopers riding velociraptors, instead of dewbacks. Apart from that, he will adopt a black and white, cinema verité approach, coupled with high, Hitchcockian angles, and long, lingering shots of the sands of Tattooine...oops, sorry: Jakku. Anne V. Coates will edit, and Roger Deakins will photograph. Carter Burwell will provide a sparse, yet intellectualy satisfying score. Verhoven, and Lynch, are on board, as advisors. The film will have a limited distribution, through the newly-reformed Cannon Group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
