Prequel Christmas for the residents of the good ol UK? Looks like it. Major Nelson here sent off this capsule of info that tells everyone with access to the BBC how they may or may not see extreme Prequel Coolness!!! Full reports and captures would be appreciated, but most of all see it for yourself. Don't worry about us.... we'll get along fi i ine... (boo hoo waaaaaaaaaah)
Prequels-
There is a TV show on BBC1 in the UK called 'Noel's Christmas Presents' where worthy people are granted wishes. According to the TV guides one person gets to meet George Lucas and visit the sets at Leavesdon studios. This will no doubt be very interesting. However I have no means of getting screen shots to you so perhaps another of your British visitors could assist?
I just realised I didn't give you enogh information on the BBC programme showing the Prequel sets. It is called ' Noel's Christmas Presents' and is on BBC 1 on Christmas Day at 3:10
More about that location to film Episodes 2 & 3!!!
Meanwhile for those that want to know the exactitude of the info about the New Zealand Star Wars Prequel shooting possibility for Episodes 2 &3, good ol Hoggle traded us this for a shiny thing. Enjoy...
hello there Harry. I just thought I'd pass on this newpaper clipping from Queensland's main sunday newspaper The Sunday Mail (original hey ;)) from the 21st of December. I've transcribed it verbantim for you.
Coast in the Wars
STAR WARS producer-director George Lucas is looking for an exclusive 12-month contract to film a prequel at Warner's Coomera studios.
Lucas, who rarely works in the United States any more, is filming the first of the new series in Britain.
Final decision on the next Star Wars at Warner Bros is expected early next year but a Lucas rep has inspected the site and recieved assurances of expanded facilities.
The contract would be a mega-coup for Pacific Films chief executive Robin James and Warner's Gold Coast boss Michael Lake.
World War II drama The Thin Red Line is the most significant movie filmed in Queensland.
It is expected to be released next year.
