Star Wars: Behind-the-scenes Highlights of the Force Awakening

The movie's timeline is set at 3 1 year after Star Wars 6: Return of the Jedi (1983), 56 years after Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith (2005), and Star Wars 1: Phantom Threat (1983). George lucas wrote a plot outline for the new trilogy. The plot revolves around the founding of New China, featuring Luke, Leia and Han's children. However, this script was rejected. JJ's new play has nothing to do with Lucas' original story idea. Harrison Ford was injured by the door of the Millennium Falcon and his ankle was broken during filming in the summer of 20 14, so his performance was postponed. Director abrams sprained his back while trying to remove the heavy object that hit Ford. In order to make the style of the film closer to the Star Wars series in 1970s and 1980s, director J J insisted on shooting with 35MM film, used a lot of models and live special effects to reduce the green screen special effects, and restarted the almost well-preserved Moroccan 1977 studio to pursue the retro feeling of the real shot. In order to play the role of Leia again, Kelly Fisher lost 40 pounds before shooting and regained the feeling of "goddess". Luke's actor mark hamill also strictly controls his diet. Abrams's previous films were all recorded by michael giacchino, but john williams was invited to participate in this film. Ghiacci also said that even he didn't want to hear his music in Star Wars, but wanted to hear Williams' music. Abrams refused to be a director at first, but after repeated persuasion by Lucasfilm, he finally changed his mind. It is said that Lucas himself is in favor of abrams as the new director. Matthew Vaughn is one of the candidates for director. He gave up "X-Men: Future and Past" (the last one was directed by him) for this film, but he finally quit because of "creative differences". It is said that the "degree of violence" of the film and the heroine candidate are the focus of his argument with the producers. Oscar Isaac's uncle is a big fan of Star Wars. Abrams invited him to visit the studio after learning about it, and asked him to make a guest appearance in the camera. Carol Ren, the villain in the film, considered inviting Michael Fassbender or Hugo Weaving to play, and finally chose the young Adam Dreyfus. The latter is 1 m, 9 1, and used to be a US Marine. The casting of this film was conducted in a highly confidential situation. It was not until the day before the rehearsal that Domnal Gleason knew that his audition was successful, and Oscar Isaac didn't know until a few hours before that day. J.J. abrams is the only director in history who directed both Star Wars and Star Trek. Adam Dreyfus quit the HBO series "Girls" in order to star in this film. Chloe Moritz, Saoirse Ronan, Zac Efron, Miles Taylor, Michael B. Jordan, alex pettyfer, Sullivan Stapleton and Jack O 'Connell all auditioned for this film. Panavision customized two Millennium XL2 cameras for this film, one of which is called "Death Star" and the other is called "Millennium Falcon". When designing a new robot, the director thought of "two overlapping circles". After clicking on two small eyes, the prototype of BB-8 came into being. The original name of this robot is "ball robot", but the director renamed it BB-8 because its shape resembles the number 8. The film was originally scheduled to be released in Italy on October 6th, 2065438+2006/kloc-0, three weeks later than other countries. This decision was strongly opposed by Italian Star Wars fans, who submitted 5,000 signatures to Disney. The final release date was advanced to 20 15 12 16, making it the earliest country in the world. Kevin smith and benedict cumberbatch visited the film set. Because Smith is a spoiler, J.J. posted a wartime poster on the set, which read "Let go and sink the starship" to remind him. This is the first time that the classic "20th Century Fox Horn" will not appear at the beginning of the official live-action movie Star Wars. 1980, john williams recorded a special edition of Star Wars for this piece, which was the first time that this piece was adapted. Prior to this, all six Star Wars movies were released in May (except the animated movie Star Wars: The Clone Wars), and this time it was in1February. Gary Oldman once auditioned, but his audition role was finally played by max von sydow. After joining Disney, Princess Leia became the oldest princess in Disney. Previously, the title was won by Elsa in Frozen. Max von sydow once played the villain Emperor Ruthless in the 1980 movie version of Flash Gordon, and this original cartoon was also one of the inspiration sources for Lucas to create Star Wars. In the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the role of "Extraordinary Governor Vizla" was created according to max von sydow. Poe Dameron played by Oscar Isaac comes from J.J.' s former personal assistant Morgan Dameron and his daughter's toy panda Bo. The film was not shot with a 3D camera, but was later converted into a 3D format. 14 From May to August, Disney, Lucasfilm and UNICEF jointly organized a charity event called "Power of Change", which raised more than 4 million dollars. The charity winner of the final event is independent filmmaker D.C. Barns. The leading actor candidates in the film include Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad), John Boyega, edward speleers and matthew james thomas (Dancing Britain). Lee Pace, the king of elves in The Hobbit, once auditioned for the role of kylo ren. Max von sydow is one of the fourth main actors of Swedish descent in Star Wars series. The other three mark hamill, Hayden Christensen and Pernilla August, who plays Anakin's mother, are all characters in the Skywalker family. There are four actors in HBO's Fire and Ice, namely gwendoline christie (britney spears), Jessica Henwick (Nami Leah Shad), Mark Stanley (Glen) and Mitos Yelmu (Sellyew). Elizabeth Olsen, jennifer lawrence and shailene woodley are all actors in Ray. Olson refused to audition because she had signed up to play the scarlet witch in the Marvel universe. JJ finally chose the unknown Daisy Ridley, continuing the tradition of promoting new people in Star Wars series. James McAvoy, seth rogen, joel edgerton and chiwetel ejiofor are all actors who play Poe Dameron. This is the first Star Wars movie released by Disney. This is also the first film directed by JJ abrams and not released by Paramount.
