Star Wars: Episode VIII And IX Begins Filming, Rogue One Completed, And The Next Stand Alone Begins
From EW:
Bob Iger on Star Wars: “Filming of Star Wars: Episode VIII, the next chapter of the legendary saga, has just commenced and it will be in theaters December 2017. And production of Episode IX, a 2019 release, has also begun.”
Bob Iger on Rogue One: “Filming of Rogue One is virtually completed and we absolutely love what we’ve seen so far,” he said, of the heist story about Rebel plans to steal the blueprints for the original Death Star. (The film, directed by Godzilla’s Gareth Edwards, will be released Dec. 16.) “This is the first of a set of planned stand-alone stories and we’re already in preproduction on our next one, for release in May of 2018.”
Interesting to see that with the recent release date change for Star Wars: Episode VIII, that they're still plugging the May 2018 date for the next Anthology film.
