J.J. Abrams avoided talking about Star Wars in general at the Produced By Conference on Sunday, but after having so many things thrown at him, he did talk a little bit about the project. With him finishing up things related to Star Trek and gearing up for Star Wars: Episode VII, he went into a bit of what kind of view he’s taking on the property that has meant a lot to him from a young age: “Talk about bigger than any of us,” he said. “That thing is so massive and so important to so many people. I know from seeing the first film when I was 11 what that felt like. I think the key in moving forward with something like this is in honoring but not revering what came before. There’s that deep feeling of infinite possibilities that I think was the ultimate thing I thought when I first saw ‘Star Wars’ which I would — and probably will — give my left arm to try and come close to again.”
He also went into things a touch on how they’ll be shooting in London and what a new experience that will be – one that could definitely a good impact on the filmmaker in general as he gets exposed to some different ways of doing things.
“[W]hen I came into it,” he said, “there was already a pre-arranged thing for them to be shooting in England which, really does make me insane. I’ve never shot a movie outside the US or out of L.A… We are, most likely, if all goes ahead, going to be moving to London at the end of the year… There’s a whole lot of stuff happening at home. It’s not an easy thing.”
