In 2005 it looked like the Star Wars saga was officially over.

PVR MOVIES FIRST PAGE 8 TRIVIA Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens 01 (2015) has a budget of 200 million dollars: the highest for a Star Wars film so far. The trailer notched up more than 20 million 02 YouTube views within 24 hours of release. The pre-sales movie ticket sites in the US reportedly crashed after starting ticket sales. Directors discussed to helm the film 03 included Michael Vaughn, Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, Ben Affleck and James Cameron; before J.J. Abrams was selected. He now becomes the first director to direct a Mission Impossible, Star Trek (2009) film and a Star Wars film. The original composer for all six Star Wars 04 films, John Williams, returns with this 7th one. George Lucas originally planned the Star 05 Wars saga to be nine films, with Episode 9 being the final chapter in the series. When Harrison Ford and Chewbacca set foot 06 on the Millennium Falcon, every one of the 200 people on set went quiet, stunned by the iconic presence of Ford and Chewbacca back on Han Solo’s ship. Real locations and miniature models were 07 preferred over green-screens and computer- generated imagery where possible, to make the film aesthetically similar to the original Star Wars trilogy. TECHNICAL SPECS Eschewing the digital format of George Lucas’ prequels, Abrams and his cinematographer Dan Mindel opted to shoot The Force Awakens on 35mm film, the better to channel the aesthetic of the original trilogy. Abrams has also been a passionate advocate of practical effects where possible, so there’s been plenty of scale model work and engineering wizardry.
