Star Wars: The Force Awakens To Take Over IMAX For A Month

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21866:]]

It’s reported Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be taking over IMAX theaters for four weeks.

THR reports JJ Abrams’ Star Wars will have the large screen IMAX format all to itself in North America and foreign markets when it debuts December 18th.

It’s noted the move for IMAX isn’t unheard of, but is a bit unusual, as the last time something similar occurred was four years go when the three Hobbit movies took over IMAX and were the only IMAX movies shown.

It’s expected that Star Wars: The Force Awakens will break the IMAX opening-weekend record, which is currently held by Jurassic World with $44.2 million, having recently passed Disney’s Iron Man 3 ($28.8 million).

In total, it’s expected that Star Wars: The Force Awakens will open in 700-800 IMAX locations worldwide, with around half in the U.S.

“Star Wars: Episode VII is the ultimate crossover movie — it crosses over to everyone,” Imax Entertainment CEO Greg Foster  said in a statement, with it noted Abrams shot scenes for Star Wars: The Force Awakens in IMAX.

Regarding the competition, it’s mentioned the November releases of Sony’s James Bond Spectre and Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2 will wind down their IMAX screenings by the opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Warner Bros.’ In the Heart of the Sea, which opens December 11th, will get only one week in Imax.

It’s even suggested that Star Wars: The Force Awakens could dominate IMAX screenings past the initial four weeks.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has a December 18, 2015 release directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer.

Star Wars Coming To Disney Theme Parks

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21717:]]

In addition to the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens poster, Rogue One announcement and art, and Colin Trevorrow directing Episode IX, Disney has announced Star Wars is coming to their theme parks, which also came with the following concept art.

Via StarWars.com:

Today at the D23 EXPO 2015, The Walt Disney Company Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced to an audience of more than 7,500 fans that Star Wars-themed lands will be coming to Disneyland park in Anaheim, California and Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, allowing Star Wars fans to step into the stories from a galaxy far, far away.

Ambitious plans to bring Star Wars to life in the two parks include creating Disney’s largest single-themed land expansions ever at 14-acres each, transporting guests to a never-before-seen planet, a remote trading port and one of the last stops before wild space where Star Wars characters and their stories come to life.

“I am thrilled to announce the next chapter in the long and exciting history between Disney Parks and Star Wars,” said Iger. “Through each new attraction and new land we create, we push the boundaries of what is possible. And as you can imagine, with Star Wars, we are taking that to a whole new level, with a whole galaxy to explore.”

These authentic lands will have two signature attractions, including the ability to take the controls of one of the most recognizable ships in the galaxy, theMillennium Falcon, on a customized secret mission, and an epic Star Warsadventure that puts guests in the middle of a climactic battle.

Star Wars: Rogue One Cast & Art Announced

Today at the D32 Expo, Disney announced the cast for Star Wars: Rogue One in addition to releasing the following concept art image.

Above you can also watch the Star Wars: Rogue One teaser from back in April.

Via StarWars.com:

Lucasfilm announced today that their first film in the new standalone Star Wars stories series, Rogue One, has begun principal photography. Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Monsters) is directing Rogue One, which tells the story of resistance fighters who have united to steal plans to the dreaded Death Star. The film is produced by Kathleen Kennedy and is slated for a December 16, 2016 release.

The filmmakers have assembled a stellar cast, including Felicity Jones, nominated for an Academy Award for her leading role in The Theory of Everything; Diego Luna, who was featured in 2008’s Oscar-winning Milk and the critically acclaimed Killing Them Softly; Ben Mendelsohn, recently nominated for an Emmy for his leading role in Bloodline and co-starring in the upcoming Mississippi Grind; Donnie Yen, Hong Kong action star and martial artist who starred in Ip Man and Blade II; Jiang Wen, who co-wrote, produced , directed and starred in the award-winning Let the Bullets Fly and Devils on the Doorstep; Forest Whitaker, recently featured in the critically-acclaimed Lee Daniels’ The Butler and winner of an Academy Award for his leading role in 2006’s The Last King of Scotland; Mads Mikkelsen, who starred in The Hunt and was the memorable villain from 2006’s Casino Royale; Alan Tudyk, who plays a performance-capture character in Rogue One, stars in the soon-to-be-released Con Man series and Trumbo, which releases this November; and Riz Ahmed, who was recently featured in Nightcrawler and starred in the BAFTA-winning film Four Lions.

“Rogue One takes place before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope and will be a departure from the saga films but have elements that are familiar to the Star Wars universe,” says Kathleen Kennedy. “It goes into new territory, exploring the galactic struggle from a ground-war perspective while maintaining that essential Star Wars feel that fans have come to know. Gareth is such an innovative director and I’m so excited to be working with him and the extraordinary ensemble cast he’s selected for Rogue One.”

Veteran ILM visual effects supervisor John Knoll, who shares a long history with the Star Wars movies, dating back to the mid-1990s, originated the idea for the movie. Allison Shearmur (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Cinderella), John Knoll, Simon Emanuel (The Dark Knight Rises, Fast & Furious 6) and Jason McGatlin (Tintin, War of the Worlds) are executive producers. Kiri Hart and John Swartz (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) are co-producers.

To create the lived-in, realistic feel of Rogue One, Edwards chose Greig Fraser (Zero Dark Thirty, Foxcatcher) to be his director of photography and Neil Corbould (Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan) to be his special effects supervisor. Star Wars and Lucasfilm veteran Doug Chiang (Star Wars: Episodes I-II, Forrest Gump) and Neil Lamont (supervising art director for the Harry Potter series, Edge of Tomorrow) will be the production designers. Additional crew members will include stunt coordinator Rob Inch (World War Z, Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger), creature effects supervisor Neal Scanlan (Prometheus) and co-costume designers Dave Crossman (costume supervisor for the Harry Potter series, Saving Private Ryan) and Glyn Dillon (costume concept artist for Kingsman: The Secret Service, Jupiter Ascending).

Colin Trevorrow Directing Star Wars: Episode IX

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21712:]]

Today at the D23 Expo, Disney announced that Colin Trevorrow, the director on the blockbuster film Jurassic World, will direct the as of yet untitled Star Wars: Episode IX, which gets released in 2019.

Via StarWars.com:

While production won’t begin for a few years, Trevorrow is heading to Lucasfilm this year to begin working with artists and his fellow Star Wars directors. “Colin is someone I’ve been interested in working with ever since I saw Safety Not Guaranteed,” says Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy. “The power of that film paired with the enormous success of Jurassic World speaks volumes about his abilities both as a storyteller and skilled filmmaker. We are thrilled to have such an incredible talent as Colin join our family and step into the Star Wars universe.”

Trevorrow states “This is not a job or an assignment. It is a seat at a campfire, surrounded by an extraordinary group of storytellers, filmmakers, artists and craftspeople. We’ve been charged with telling new stories for a younger generation because they deserve what we all had—a mythology to call their own. We will do this by channeling something George Lucas instilled in all of us: boundless creativity, pure invention and hope.”

Star Wars: Episode IX will conclude the third trilogy of Star Wars movies that begins with Star Wars: The Force Awakens on December 18, 2015.

I believe the figures may actually be available in a few weeks or so, so you might want to hold off paying those super high prices on eBay.

The figures also look to come with some sort of buildable weapon.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has a December 18, 2015 release directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer.

Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.

No Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer At Disney D23 Expo


Star Wars: The Force Awakens Spot
 

The Force is not strong with this weekend’s Disney D23 Expo.

It’s learned Disney will not be showing off any new footage from Star Wars: The Force Awakens at Disney’s Anaheim convention.

“It is true, we are showing no footage, behind the scenes or otherwise,” director J.J. Abrams told EW. “In the fall, there’ll be a trailer.” 

Abrams didn’t reveal a new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer at last month’s Comic-Con, but did show off behind-the-scenes footage.

A couple of seconds of new footage did debut in the recent Star Wars: The Force Awakens international spot (watch above).

Moving forward it will be interesting to see how Disney and Abrams market the movie. For example, Avengers 2 saw probably 75% or more of its footage online prior to the movie’s release (which I felt spoiled a lot of it); possibly Abrams will be going the opposite route for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and won’t be previewing much, other than what’s contained in a couple of trailers.

It is thought Marvel Studios will be releasing footage at the D23 Expo from Captain America: Civil War and possibly Spider-Man.

Chris Miller Talks Han Solo & Animated Spider-Man Movie

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21648:]]

Chris Miller is one half of the writing/directing team behind the upcoming Star Wars Han Solo movie as well as the animated Spider-Man film. Miller and his partner, Phil Lord, are also responsible for The LEGO Movie, Jump Street, The Last Man On Earth TV series and are said to be taking on The Flash for WB.

IGN caught up with Miller at the Television Critics association press tour to get Miller’s thoughts on Han Solo and Spider-Man.

Regarding Han Solo, Miller offered their largest demand is living up to the legacy of Han Solo and respecting the character.

Oh man, that’s our big challenge, right? It’s a huge pressure. We always try and find something that’s gonna make us… give a fire to our bellies and do a really good job. And this feels like there’s a lot of pressure to not screw this up. So we’ve definitely got that motivation and then the rest of it is about trying to give audiences a fresh experience that doesn’t feel like you’re just trying to check off some checklist of beats that you’re expecting and make something that feels new and exciting for people, but at the same time honoring what was so great about that character.

I could talk to you for a day about why he is the perfect blend of rogue-ish cowboy… Morally ambiguous, but has a clear moral compass. He’s funny, he’s off the cuff… When I was a kid on the playground, fights were about who got to play Han Solo. He’s just one of the best characters ever created.

And for Spider-Man, Miller obviously can’t say much, but he does offer it won’t be the same Spider-Man story we’ve always seen.

 I can’t really talk too much about that project. Much like the Han Solo, it is shrouded in secrecy, so I can’t really talk about it. But I will say, it is not just another Peter Parker origin story that you’ve seen 400 times. It is something totally unique and different and not like anything you’ve seen. That’s all I can say… and you’re going to love it!

The Star Wars Han Solo movie has a May 25, 2018 release; the Spider-Man animated film has a July 20, 2018 release.

Good News: No Midi-Chlorians For Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Video)

J.J. Abrams particpated in a quick Q&A about Star Wars: The Force Awakens while attending the Red Carpet premiere of Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, of which he is a producer, and offered a few tidbits.

Abrams told MTV that a rough cut of Star Wars: The Force Awakens exists, but wouldn’t give a specific length, only stating a rough cut could be anywhere from one and a half hours to four hours.

Worth a note is that Abrams let it be known Midi-chlorians are not mentioned at all in the movie. George Luas used Midi-chlorians in the prequels to explain why The Force exists in that they are microscopic life forms that live symbiotically inside the cells of all living things. It’s safe to say, the explanation didn’t go over well with most Star Wars fans.

Check out more above, which includes some fun questions ranging from Chewbacca getting shaved to whether Abrams regrets being there.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has a December 18, 2015 release directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer.
