Gareth Edwards director of Godzilla and Monsters is not only making Godzilla 2, but he has been hired to direct one of the multiple Star Wars character spin-off’s.
The film is due to be released on 16th December 2016 between the release of Star Wars VII and VIII. It will concentrate on one of 3 rumoured characters including Boba Fett, Yoda and a young Han Solo. Let’s hope it’s Boba Fett!
Elysium and District 9 director Neill Blomkamp would also be our choice for one of the other Star Wars spin-off’s, due to his strong visual style, with Terri Tatchell at the writing helm.
Industrial Light and Magic are due to open offices in the UK as part of their world expansion!
The London office will act as a VFX base for Star Wars Episode VII! A dozen employees have already been hired from Framestore and Double Negative, although a total of 200 employees will be hired for ILM London’s debut gig. The new offices are due to open at the end of March / beginning of April.
The exciting news comes almost 40 years after ILM started work on the original film Star Wars IV: A New Hope in 1975.
