At this point, we know next to nothing about Disney’s first standalone Star Wars movie, save for the fact that Monsters and Godzilla director Gareth Edwards is helming the project for a 2016 release. Well, we can now add in a cinematographer, with Greig Fraser revealing to Hitfix that he will be shooting the film.
“I’m doing a f*cking Star Wars movie, which is like – I don’t know about you but Star Wars is like my first film love, do you know what I mean?” states Fraser, whose credits include Zero Dark Thirty, Let Me In, Snow White and the Huntsman, Foxcatcher and The Gambler. “Princess Leia was the first woman that I kind of went, ‘Yeah, she’s all right, that one.’ Gareth is doing a standalone film. Of course I do know some specifics, but it’s obviously something I’ve signed my kidneys away for. I can’t tell you what it’s about. I think I signed my left kidney to Disney and my right kidney to George Lucas. So I’d hate to be talking to you next time when I’m on dialysis.”
