Slashfilm is reporting on a rumor posted via HitFix that claims to have been told by multiple sources that filming on Episode VII, which director J.J. Abrams previously stated would begin in May, will run thru September.
Multiple sources now have confirmed for us that “Star Wars Episode VII” is set to start shooting mid-May and will run through September of this year, and most principal casting on the film is complete, with many announcements still to come. While Abrams had mentioned May during the TCA press tour and there had been speculation about the summer date, the full production schedule was finally confirmed for us.
As always, nothing is confirmed until we hear otherwise from an official Lucasfilm/Disney source.
