So it was just revealed yesterday on the Twitter page of Bad Robot, J.J. Abrams' production company, that IMAX cameras will be used for the filming of Star Wars: Episode VII. This is great news... Seeing as how Abrams is shooting the next Star Wars movie entirely on film (whether it's 35mm, 65mm or 70mm IMAX celluloid), here's hoping that it will look as great as the images seen in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy [which was also shot entirely on film and employed the ultra-large screen format (without the use of conversion during post-production) as well].
Also, Lucasfilm announced last week that two new actors have joined the cast of Episode VII: Crystal Clarke and Pip Andersen. Welcome aboard! Mentioned in that same press release is news that production will shut down for two weeks next month as Abrams and company reorganize the shooting schedule while Harrison Ford—who broke a leg during filming at Pinewood Studios near London several weeks ago—recuperates from his injury. Wishing Han Solo a full and speedy recovery.
