Stupidly obvious as this may sound, after looking at various models of the set for months, the real thing seems really big. Fortunately the construction crew (which includes within its ranks the inestimable Soul Searcher stalwart Colin Smith) is doing a much better job of cutting the holes out of the real girders than I did with my cardboard counterparts when I was making the storyboard model.
I’m pleased to officially announce the casting of Kate Burdette as Isabelle, and having met several DOPs today I can also reveal that Oliver Downey will be the man behind the lens on the Dark Side pilot. I love it when a plan comes together.
