Appearing on a panel alongside Christopher Nolan and Rachel Morrison at the Sundance Film Festival this past week, “Jurassic World” director Colin Trevorrow rvealed that he’ll be shooting “Star Wars Episode IX” on film, as opposed to digital.
Explaining why period films should be shot on film, the filmmaker said : “The only place where I tend to not be able to attach myself entirely to something shot digitally is when it’s a period film. There’s something in my brain that goes, ‘Well, they didn’t have video cameras then’. Film tends to remind us of our memories, of our childhoods, the way we used to see films.”
As for shooting “Episode IX” on film, Trevorrow said : “[It] gets back to my issue of shooting digital for period films. I could never shoot Star Wars on anything but [film] because it’s a period film: It happened a long time ago!”
The filmmaker is also looking to shoot some scenes in… outer space!
“I asked the question, ‘Is it possible for us to shoot IMAX film plates in actual space for Star Wars, and I haven’t gotten an answer yet, but they’ve shot IMAX in space!”
“Star Wars Episode IX” hits screens in 2019.
