.
SPIEGEL: George Lucas has chosen you as his successor. What did he say to you when he offered you, turn to “The Awakening of power”
Abrams: He said: This is your movie, I’m not going to the set come, I will not be there. I then invited him later in the editing room, but he has very politely declined and said that he can not wait to see the finished movie. He would like for the first time in his life a “Star Wars” movie look like a fan I do not know exactly what he thinks and how he feels, but I think for him it was said:. All or nothing. Maybe it was for him the end of a trip.
Personal
Jeffrey Jacob Abrams , 49, is an American director and screenwriter. He first made itself a name with TV series, was director and producer of “Felicity” and “Lost.” “Mission: Impossible III” was the first feature film in which he directed, followed by “Cloverfield”, “Star Trek” and “Super 8″. Abrams considered as a renovator of the American entertainment cinema in the spirit of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas
SPIEGEL ONLINE:. Do you have “The awakening of the power of” occasionally searched for his advice? Lucas should have never done you suggestions for the script.
Abrams: We have talked a few times together. For George this is all very difficult, probably we make no representations as difficult. He has created something that has a huge impact on our culture and himself has strongly influenced the people. And now he gives it in someone else’s hands. That’s a bold move. George is not an old man, the ideas have run out
SPIEGEL ONLINE:. Many fans are of the view that the last three “Stars Wars” films from Lucas no longer the level of the first three ranged zoom. As you can see, the
Abrams: I know many people who see it the other way around. If you ask 100-year-olds, which “Star Wars” movie is the best, be 90 of them say, “Revenge of the Sith”. Each bet. I myself am a fan of the first hour, I was eleven years old when I saw “Star Wars”. No movie I see 30 or 40 can, catch me like that. . But everyone has a right to their own opinion
“secret, secret, Star Wars”: The actors in the video interview
SPIEGEL: How did you work on the script of “The Awakening of power”?
Abrams: There have been a team of authors, as I joined. They had already begun to think about the story, but there was no plot. It was like a TV series, all sat together in the Writers’ Room. For me it was very important to have Lawrence Kasdan it. He has given a voice Yoda than 30 years ago and the cool sayings for Han Solo thought! He knew the world, we wanted to fill it with new life, until the last corner
SPIEGEL ONLINE:. Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia or even Chewbacca dive in ” The awakening of power “obviously all back on. A nostalgic trip
Abrams: No, it was clear from the outset that we would continue the three early films. It was only natural, the characters show up again and to be represented by the same actors. We simply asked ourselves: What do the figures seen in the meantime, where they are now? We wanted to hammer out a worthy person, from the old to the young generation
SPIEGEL ONLINE:. “The awakening of the power of” You are quite old-fashioned can build many decors, rather than digital produce. Why?
Abrams: Today films often suffer from the fact that they rely too heavily on computer images. I’m a big fan of this technique because it allows us to produce images that can be produced in any other way. But I also know their limits. If the actors have to act before a green wall, they move in a vacuum. I wanted to avoid. And then I wanted to create among viewers a similar feeling, as I had as a child in the first “Star Wars” movie
SPIEGEL ONLINE:. You have said that ” Star Wars “is the most important movie of your generation was. Why had such a huge impact?
Abrams: He joined fairy tales, myths and technology into one unit. It all came together: the figure drawing, the humor, the vision of a world and an exciting audio-visual concept. The film, therefore, no longer let the people going well, because he was not told his story to the end, leaving many questions unanswered. Before the other “Star Wars” movies came, every spectator had its own sequels in the head.
SPIEGEL: Hollywood turned very gloomy films in the seventies. Kam “Star Wars” at the right time
Abrams: Yes, after the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal reigned uncertainty and cynicism. Then came “Star Wars” and reminded the audience that, hope also part of life. While the movie played in a far, far away galaxy, but he told us. Had the film played in the reality of the seventies, we would be very naive optimism suspected to have occurred.
SPIEGEL OLINE: Now we live again in times of great uncertainty, many people are afraid of violence, war and terror
Abrams:. The “Star Wars” movies save the dark side of our world is not enough. As in most fairy tales, there are forces of evil in them, the murder and waging war in order to gain the rule. But the films also show how strong are the forces of good. You teach us: You will combated if you terrorizing others
SPIEGEL ONLINE:. No escapism?
Abrams: Nothing is easier than people plunge into depression. The messages do that constantly. The “Star Wars” films say against it: Do not let it get you out of the bad news, there is also another, brighter side. People like you and I can do great things, it is never too late to believe in the good. Optimism is not a crime
SPIEGEL ONLINE:. The “Star Wars” series has millions of fans. Can you ignore what the hope for the new movie
Abrams: No, because you is the universe that has created George, really care. Of course you can say that it is now Disney heard because George has sold them. In fact, it belongs to the fans. Knowing how much you all mean, how hungry they are for new stories, is simply exhilarating
SPIEGEL ONLINE:. A lot of them have very precise ideas about how your story should continue. Are the fans a serious creative force?
Abrams: Of course, I take note of what the fans haunts. I prefer to tell a story that no one is interested. But on the other hand, all have very different ideas. It is a gigantic jumble of conflicting ideas and incompatible proposals. Of this you have to free yourself, otherwise you look lost. It is rather to use the energy, the commitment and the enthusiasm of the fans, to let drive it
SPIEGEL ONLINE:. A few years ago put the “Lord of the Rings “fans the studio New Line with an Internet petition under pressure and made sure that the director Peter Jackson and the” filmed Hobbit “. Are you afraid of the power of fans
Abrams: I have less fear of the crowd was not that I am grateful to them. But I understand what you mean. But since I myself am a fan, I understand the fans better
SPIEGEL ONLINE:. As you have implemented your own children in the “Star Wars” world
?
Abrams: At first, I showed them the early films. It’s been many years. At the time, I could have never imagined that there would be a seventh film, let alone that I would thereby directing.
SPIEGEL: How old were your children when you saw the “Star Wars” movies
Abrams: The two older ones were seven or eight, the youngest was too small when he “Revenge of the Sith” saw. The film is pretty bleak
SPIEGEL ONLINE:. Did you see the movies with your children in a different light
Abrams: Through the children became aware that it is not about lightsabers and starships primarily. It’s in the movies about people who are not familiar with at the beginning of the story come together and form an inseparable unity. Such friendships wants probably every one of us. It is one of the many beautiful byproducts of fatherhood that one new looks much again. One understands again why there is cinema.
SPIEGEL: It is “Star Wars” World Heritage
Abrams: Yes, in the sense that we do not destroy it and not want to damage, but to preserve. However, it does not feel like an object, but as a living thing that evolves. “Star Wars” is greater than any film, greater than any man.
is we are now for some time the guardians of this extraordinary vitality in their DNA a lot of heart, humor and adventure created in the video. The movie trailer for “Star Wars – awakening of power”
