The Official Site updates everyone into the weekend with some new info about specific reshoots and more filming in the months ahead.
Here's a clip:
Starting August 23 and running through September 4, Director George Lucas will again roll cameras on Episode III, this time in the UK. "We've got two full weeks of shooting," says McCallum. Among the cast members slated to work in that period are Silas Carson, Hayden Christensen, Anthony Daniels, Samuel L. Jackson, Ian McDiarmid, Christopher Lee, Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman. Returning from the Sydney shoot, Creature Shop Supervisors Dave and Lou Elsey will be on hand, as will Costume Designer Trisha Biggar and Supervising Art Director Peter Russell. The rest of the small crew will be mostly new hands.
"It will be primarily blue and greenscreen shooting. There won't be any full sets, but there may be large set pieces. This round of shooting is mostly just patching holes and providing transitions," adds McCallum. "We do have a whole new sequence with Hayden and Yoda."
You'll want to note that the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk is mentioned by Lucasfilm officially for the first time later on in the article. Also interesting is the mention of background plate filming, which in the latest issue of the SW Insider is taking place in Thailand, Switzerland and quite possibly China. And we couldn't not mention the stunning new Anakin picture with Vader in the background you have to check out, too.
