Production on "Star Wars: Episode VII" has begun. Director Rian Johnson ("Looper") is on set and hard at work as confirmed by Disney via an official press release (after the jump) and a surprisingly generous behind-the-set video which offers a brief look at Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill. It's actually unusual to get footage this early, but I guess since most of the big surprises were tackled by "The Force Awakens", they can leak an image or two to tease fans.
The confirmed returning cast includes Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie and Andy Serkis. There are also some new additions that have been confirmed and they are Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran.
"Star Wars: Episode VII" opens in theaters on December 15, 2017
Check out the behind-the-scenes video and read the press release after the jump.
