Star Wars: Episode VII within three weeks of completing filming

Kathleen Kennedy has been discussing progress on Star Wars: Episode VII , which is rapidly approaching the point where cameras will stop rolling…



As reported by The Guardian , Kennedy revealed that LucasFilm is “within three weeks of finishing filming on Star Wars: Episode VII” before going on to wax lyrical about the thrill of returning the franchise to London.



“This continues a long tradition of Star Wars movies being made in London,” said the producer. “It goes back to 1976.”



“To know that we are now coming back and we will be making the movies once again based out of Pinewood and now we’re looking to put together ILM London, it’s rather remarkable that this has come together in less than two years.”



Meanwhile, series stalwart Warwick Davis has also confirmed he will be returning for the new film, courtesy of the amusing video below…

Directed by J.J. Abrams and co-starring Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong’o and John Boyega, Star Wars: Episode VII will open in the UK on 18 December 2015.
