Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (12/18/15) Discussion Thread
Well it all looks like the announcement was either a bluff or more likely was cancelled due to script concerns by Abrams.
If it was a bluff it's been to distract the paparazzi from elsewhere, have the big three flown into the UK and they're trying to keep it hush hush?
More likely is it was cancelled 2-3 days ago, apparently Abrams is unhappy with something to do with the script and Disney execs are flying to London for a big pow wow. Disney have already released the budget so may be Abrams wants to expand on a certain scene to give better narrative to the story, and with the desire to use practical effects rather than digital i'd guess a small adjustment to the budget may be the reason. Anything other than money could surely be discussed via skype or over the phone, but when you're talking about $1000's then i guess they want to be face-to-face.
