Star Wars Episode VII: Michael Kaplan Joins as Costume Designer

Tweet

Thanks to Jedi News for reporting this one.  Although not official it looks like Michael Kaplan has been brought on board as costume designer for Star Wars VII.  Kaplan worked on Star Trek Into Darkness so it seems J.J. Abrams is not  the only one to jump franchises.

The report comes from IGN who reported the claim earlier.

Talking with Buzzfeed, the famed designer whose credits include Blade Runner, Star Trek (2009), and Fight Club, explained: "I’ve just learned I’ll be working on the new Star Wars movie, again with J.J. Everything just got formalized [last week], I haven’t even had the chance to talk to anyone about it all other than to be told ‘welcome aboard.’ It’s a little too soon to know exactly what’s in store but I’m excited, absolutely, to get to work on another prestigious sci-fi series.”

Benedict Cumberbatch Impresses Spielberg In Star Trek Into Darkness

Tweet

NYDailyNews.com have published an article quoting various people's reactions to the excellent Benedict Cumberbatch in the equally excellent Star Trek Into Darkness. In particular one of the quotes comes from Steven Spielberg no less who has worked with the British star before on War Horse. Spielberg said:

“I was thrilled that Steven’s visit was on the same day as I doing my big action scene,” Cumberbatch told The News. “He was like, ‘Oh my God, Benedict, I had no idea you can do this action stuff, this is terrific.’
“I said, ‘Now you know, I’ll put it on my [résumé] next time, I promise.’”

Even Simon Pegg who also stars in Star Trek Into Darkness as Scotty thinks Cumberbatch will be a hit with the american audience.

“He can use his British accent, which seems to convey so much more in the States than it does at home. Everyone speaks like that at home, and yet you only have to say,” says Pegg, dropping an octave in mimicry: “ ‘You think your world is safe,’ and everyone's like, ‘wooo.’ ”
