Star Wars: Episode VII to Open December 18, 2015
November 07, 2013

With pre-production in full-swing, a confirmed release date of December 18, 2015, has been set for Lucasfilm's highly anticipated Star Wars: Episode VII.

"We're very excited to share the official 2015 release date for Star Wars: Episode VII, where it will not only anchor the popular holiday filmgoing season but also ensure our extraordinary filmmaking team has the time needed to deliver a sensational picture," said Alan Horn, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios.

Star Wars: Episode VII will be directed by J.J. Abrams (Super 8, Mission: Impossible III, Star Trek) and is being scripted by Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan (Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi). Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, with Tommy Harper (Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Jack Ryan, Star Trek Into Darkness) and Jason McGatlin (Tintin, War of the Worlds) serving as executive producers. John Williams is returning to score Star Wars: Episode VII.

Shooting is scheduled to begin spring 2014 at Pinewood Studios.

I truly hope someone much higher than Abrams told him yo cut it off with the lens flare bullshit. Also to not change every single fucking thing into shiny and smooth.

I barely bitch about movies. I only bitch about movies when I see a trailer and I can count on one hand how many movies I have bitched because of a trailer. One of them I was incredibly wrong about. The first Sherlock Holmes movie. That trailer made the movie look bad which IMO it wasn't.

Hollywood is frat at making any movie look great in the trailers.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Short for fraternity but I have no idea in this context though.

Spell check maybe changed it from 'good'.

Trailers cherry-pick the best parts of the movie most of the time. I don't trust them.

Trailers lie.

I wouldn't list Super 8 in my directing credits. I hated that movie.

JJ himself has admitted he went way overboard with the lens flares in 2009 Trek.
