Our colleague from the Heroic Toils echoed an official statement from the CEO of Disney: Bob Iger. This declaration ? Nothing less than the first interesting information on the first Star Wars Spin-Off, especially the title!
We do not yet know the date on which this film will take place (in the Star Wars universe I mean: post / pre classic trilogy, post / pre episode VII ...) or what it will talk about exactly, but I already wriggling in advance of this title! Do you want me to tell you this title? Ok ok, no worries, I'm deliberately stopping to lengthen my text to give you suspense, because that would be annoying. To end my statement as in English ... Wouldn't it be?
So I said, I stop hanging around and I give you this title! Yes right now! Besides, you will see that suddenly the image on the front page for this article will make sense. The title is ... (drum roll, it's right on the next line, in a spoiler tag like that you won't be able to have seen it in advance):
You just have to click to discover the title ... Are you sure you want to do that? Think about your goldfish ... what would it tell you to do?
Rogue One
A name that suggests a film about this famous squadron! Which personally has something to delight me (as long as they respect the spirit of the real Extended Universe - understand for me the UE Legends - about this squadron)!
We also have the release date of episode VIII! Which will reconnect with the tradition of our favorite universe, namely a release in May. To be more precise, it will be released on May 26, 2017. Of course ... before going to see it and get excited about it, you will have to see what its predecessor has been worth!
We also have some info on the Cast and Crew of these two films:
- Rian Johnson (Looper) to script and direct episode VIII
- Gareth Edwards (Godzilla) will direct the spin-off
- whose screenplay will be written by Chris Weitz (Cinderella)
- based on an idea by John Knoll (co-creator of Adobe Photoshop with his brother and especially supervisor of special effects on the Star Wars since the special edition of the Trilogy)
- Actress Felicity Jones (see photo below) is also already announced to the casting!
