STAR WARS: EPISODE VII – J.J. Abrams says film will be “Emotional and Authentic”
New details about Star Wars: Episode VII has been revealed. J.J. Abrams attempted to do press for his new series, Almost Human, but got sidetracked by questions about Star Wars. EW asked him about the tone and spirit of the film, and here is what he had to say:
“Impossible for me to say because it’s going to be an evolving thing. I would say we are working really hard to make a movie that feels as emotional and authentic and exciting as possible. Whatever your favorite Star Wars movie is and how to compare it is really sort of subjective.”
Abrams then went on to talk about the advice he’s been receiving from people about how he should handle the film’s development:
“It’s been nice see that how important it is and to be reminded how important it is to so many people. We all know that [creator George Lucas’] dream has become almost a religion to some people. I remember reading a thing somewhere, someone wrote about just wanting [the new film] to feel real; to feel authentic. I remember I felt that way when I was 11 years old when I saw the first one. As much of a fairy tale as it was, it felt real. And to me, that is exactly right.”
I am going to see Star Wars: Episode VII on opening weekend, perhaps even twice. I’m excited to see Abrams’ take on the film, and am excited to see how the tone actually turns out.
