[Quasimod0]

I love seeing those classic Stormtroopers

 

[Lobo]

This is easily one of my most anticipated films.

 

[marcvader]

Are we expecting official casting information this weekend?

 

[Rowsdower!]

I'd say that sounds feasible. I mean, the movie is filming now, so we should get a clearer picture of exactly who is in it soon.

 

[Dark_Lord]

Not much, but I though it was interesting.



The Verge visited ILM's VR lab called ILMxLab and they say that one way they can use this tech is to preview movie sets in 3D, in real-time and make changes.

"Director Gareth Edwards has been using an xLab Oculus Rift set-up to preview and tweak set designs for his upcoming film Star Wars: Rogue One, Bredow says. "When he, two minutes into having the headset on, referred to it as ‘real life,’ I was like, ‘okay, we’re on to something here.’"

Mads!

 

[Sithborg]

Time to set hype into overdrive.

Also interesting is that Alan Tudyk is doing a motion capture character. Can't wait to start getting more.

 

[ares834]

That pic looks great.

Best of all, Mads and Donnie Yen!

 

[Loki882]

Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelson, Alan Tudyk!! WOW, and I thought that this cast was amazing before!!

Oh and Felicity Jones looks great. Kind of Solo-ish actually.

 

[Raiden]

Donnie Yen is awesome and I'm happy that he's in this movie. I hope it's not a minor role.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I need a hi-res of that ASAP

 

[WormyT]

Finally! some asian leads in a Starwars movie. Only too 7 movies.
Looks gritty and Cool. Donnie Yen is like a Blind Ronin.
Hopefully theres some aliens and Droids in this too.
I love it!!

Veteran ILM visual effects supervisor John Knoll, who shares a long history with the Star Wars movies, dating back to the mid-1990s, originated the idea for the movie. Allison Shearmur (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Cinderella), John Knoll, Simon Emanuel (The Dark Knight Rises, Fast & Furious 6) and Jason McGatlin (Tintin, War of the Worlds) are executive producers. Kiri Hart and John Swartz (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) are co-producers.

To create the lived-in, realistic feel of Rogue One, Edwards chose Greig Fraser (Zero Dark Thirty, Foxcatcher) to be his director of photography and Neil Corbould (Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan) to be his special effects supervisor. Star Wars and Lucasfilm veteran Doug Chiang (Star Wars: Episodes I-II, Forrest Gump) and Neil Lamont (supervising art director for the Harry Potter series, Edge of Tomorrow) will be the production designers. Additional crew members will include stunt coordinator Rob Inch (World War Z, Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger), creature effects supervisor Neal Scanlan (Prometheus) and co-costume designers Dave Crossman (costume supervisor for the Harry Potter series, Saving Private Ryan) and Glyn Dillon (costume concept artist for Kingsman: The Secret Service, Jupiter Ascending).

Dat crew.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Felicity Jones looks spectacular.

 

[Pokkle]

I'm so hype about Mikkelsen t:

 

[Loki882]

Is he going to smash some poor Imperial's junk with a rope in this movie? Because I'm kind of hoping so, weird.

 

[Sawyer]

He's gonna do things with a cattle prod.

 

[Sithborg]

He's gonna do things with a lightsaber.

Fixed.

 

[Sawyer]

But--but did you get the reference?

 

[Slick]

A Star Wars Story. I love it!!! And yes it is very cool that Mads is in this.

 

[StarLord]
