Star Wars: The Force Awakens (also known as Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens) is an upcoming American epic space opera film directed by J. J. Abrams. The seventh installment in the episodic Star Wars film series, it stars John BoyegaDaisy Ridley,Adam DriverOscar IsaacAndy SerkisDomhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow, with Harrison FordCarrie FisherMark HamillAnthony DanielsPeter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker reprising roles from previous films. The story is set approximately 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983).

The Force Awakens will be the first film in the planned third Star Wars trilogy announced afterThe Walt Disney Company's acquisition of Lucasfilm in October 2012. It is produced by Abrams, his long-time collaborator Bryan Burk, and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. Abrams directed the film from a screenplay he co-wrote with Lawrence Kasdan, co-writer of theoriginal trilogy films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Abrams and Kasdan rewrote an initial script rilogy

George Lucas turned over his story treatment for Episodes VIIVIII, and IX to Disney chairman Bob Iger when Lucasfilm was sold to Disney in October 2012.[21] The first screenplay was written by Michael Arndt.[22][23][24] David Fincher[25] and Brad Bird were approached as directors, but Bird was committed to Tomorrowland.[26] Guillermo del Toro was also considered, but was busy with his own projects.[27]Casting began around August 2013, with Abrams meeting with potential actors for script readings and screen tests. Open auditions were held in the UK, Ireland and the United States in November 2013 for the roles of "Rachel" and "Thomas".[48][49][50]Casting began in earnest in January 2014, due to changes to the script by Kasdan and Abrams.[51] Screen tests with actors continued until at least three weeks before the official announcement on April 29, 2014, with final casting decisions beinscript at Pinewood Studios near London,[3] picturing director Abrams with Ford, Daisy Ridley, Fisher, Peter Mayhew, producer Bryan Burk, Lucasfilm president and producer Kathleen Kennedy,Domhnall GleesonAnthony Daniels, Hamill, Serkis, Oscar Isaac, Boyega, Driver, and writer Lawrence Kasdan. Not pictured but included in the cast are Max von Sydow and Kenny Baker. The announcement was originally planned for May 4 (Star Wars Day), but announced early due to fears of media leaks. More casting is expected, including a major female role.[61] Variety reported that Driver would play a Darth Vader-type villain, Isaac's role would be like Han Solo, Boyega would play a Jedi, and Ridley could play the daughter of Han and Leia.[62] On June 2, 2014, Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie were anHorn.[78] Principal photography began in Abu Dhabi on May 16, 2014.[79][80][81] Abrams and members of the cast went to Abu Dhabi in early May, where large sets were built at the location, including a shuttle-like spacecraft, a large tower and a big market, and explosives were used to create a "blast crater". Cast members were spotted practicing driving vehicles that would be used during filming.[82] Production moved to Pinewood Studios in June.[83]

On June 12, Harrison Ford fractured his leg while filming at Pinewood after a hydraulic door fell on him, and was taken to a hospital. Production was suspended for two weeks to accommodate Ford's injury.[84] Ford's son Ben stated that Ford's ankle would likely need a plate and screws and that filming could be altered slightly, with the crew needing to shoot Ford from the waist up for a short time until he recovered.[85] Jake Steinfeld, Ford's personal trainer, said in July that Ford was recovering rapidly.[86]

On July 29, 2014, filming took place over three days at Skellig Michael island off the coast of County Kerry in Ireland with a cast including Mark Hamill and Daisy Ridley.[87][88] Production was halted for two weeks in early August 2014 so Abrams could rework shooting in Ford's absence, and resumed with a fully healed Ford in mid-August.[89][90] In September 2014, the RAF Greenham Common military base in Berkshire, near Pinewood Studios, was used as a filming location and featured set constructions of several spaceships from the Star WarsUniverse.[91][92]

Principal photography ended on November 3, 2014.[93]

Post-production

Cinematographer Daniel Mindel stated that The Force Awakens would use real locations and scale models over computer-generated imagery to make it aesthetically similar to the original Star Wars trilogy.[94] Rian Johnson, director of Episode VIII, reiterated that Abrams would use little CGI and more practical, traditional special effects, saying: "I think people are coming back around to [practical effects]. It feels like there is sort of that gravity pulling us back toward it. I think that more and more people are hitting kind of a critical mass in terms of the CG-driven action scene lending itself to a very specific type of action scene, where physics go out the window and it becomes so big so quick.”[95] Abrams' intention in prioritising practical special effects was to recreate the visual realism and authenticity of the original Star Wars.[96] To that end, the droid BB-8 was a physical prop that was created by special effects artist Neal Scanlan and operated live on set with the actors.[97][98]

In February 2014, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) announced plans to open a facility in London, citing Disney's Star Wars films as a catalyst for the expansion. ILM's Vancouver branch will also work on the special effects for the film.[99]

Music

In July 2013, John Williams was confirmed to compose the score.[100] Williams composed original music for the film's first trailer.[101] The score will be recorded by Los Angeles musicians over several months.[102] In May 2015, Williams stated that he would return to themes from the previous films, such as ones for Luke, Leia and Han, in ways that "will seem very natural and right in the moments for which we’ve chosen to do these kinds of quotes. There aren’t many of them, but there are a few that I think are important and will seem very much a part of the fabric of the piece in a positive and constructive way." On returning to the Star War universe, Williams added, "It’s all a continuation of an initial set of ideas. It’s a bit like adding paragraphs to a letter that’s been going on for a number of years. Starting with a completely new film, a story that I don’t know, characters that I haven’t met, my whole approach to writing music is completely different—trying to find an identity, trying to find melodic identifications if that’s needed for the characters, and so on." He also revealed that working with Abrams was very similar to the process he went through with Lucas in the earlier films.[103] The the first section of the recording sessions began in June 2015 on Sony's scoring stage, with William Ross conducting the majority of the music. Williams attended the sessions and conducted the remainder of the recordings.[104]

Release

In November 2013, The Force Awakens was given the release date of December 18, 2015.[105] In March 2014, Disney confirmed thatEpisode VII will be released in IMAX format.[106] On November 6, 2014, the title of the film was announced as Star Wars: The Force Awakens.[107] Though the title does not include "Episode VII", Episode VII will be included in the opening crawl.[108]

On November 28, 2014, Disney released a 90-second teaser trailer to promote The Force Awakens. It was screened in selected cinemas across the United States and Canada, and in theaters worldwide in December 2014. It was also released on YouTube and the iTunes store,[109] generating a record 58.2 million views on YouTube in its first week.[110] Critics compared the brief footage favourably to the production values of the original trilogy. The Hollywood Reporter called the trailer "perfectly potent nostalgia", praising its mix of old and new.[111] Empire was impressed by the continuity with the first films – "the feel of classic Star Wars" – but noted the absence of Hamill, Ford and Fisher, and speculated about the significance of the new characters.[112] The Guardian wrote that the use of theStar Wars fanfare by John Williams reinforced brand loyalty among fans.[113]

On December 11, 2014, Abrams and Kennedy released a series of eight mock Topps trading cardsrevealing the names of several characters.[4]

On April 16, 2015, a second teaser trailer, this one lasting two minutes, was shown at the opening panel at the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said the reaction to the trailer was "staggering... the entire room of almost eight thousand people just leapt to their feet and roared, I mean I can't think of anything I've ever been to – other than a rock concert – that felt quite like that."[114] The trailer was viewed over 88 million times within the first 24 hours of release, breaking the record of 62 million held by Furious 7 in November 2014.[115][116] The event was broadcast live by Verizon on YouTube, Starwars.com and in movie theaters. The trailer shows many of the new characters and the first footage of Chewbacca and Han Solo. The Huffington Post‍ '​s Graham Milne wrote that the trailer "was an affirmation of something that we'd long been told was never going to happen. This was a gift. This was faith rewarded. About damn time."[117]

Vanity Fair was the first magazine to release an exclusive cover issue devoted to The Force Awakens. The magazine, which was released on May 7, 2015, features all new interviews and brand new photos of the cast members photographed by Annie Leibovitz.[118][119]

Merchandise

The film will be accompanied by numerous books. Disney Publishing Worldwide and Lucasfilm announced that a combination of 20 titles in book and e-book formats, entitled "Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens" with releases starting in late 2015, prior to the film. The collection will include books by Del Rey and Disney-Lucasfilm publishers and comic books from Marvel Comics. All titles under the program are canonical to the Star Wars universe.[120]

The first novel, Star Wars: Aftermath, will be released in September 2015 and is written by Chuck Wendig. The story is set shortly after the film Return of the Jedi and deals with the consequences of the deaths of both the Emperor and Darth Vader, as well as the power vacuum formed in the Empire's rule over the galaxy and the actions of the Rebellion during the following months. It is intended to be the first in a trilogy of novels that will bridge the Star Wars timeline between the original trilogy and The Force Awakens.[121] Alan Dean Foster will write the novelization of the film.[122]

Lucasfilm announced that September 4, 2015 will be deemed "Force Friday" and will be the official launch of all of the merchandise for The Force Awakens.
