访谈录 2013-05-15&05-17 《星球大战7》英国取景 老版主演齐回归（在线收听）

It seems rebel forces and the empire have agreed to pitch their next battle in Bukium shift. The new star wars trilogy will be made in the UK where much of this original was filmed, and Pinewood Studio is tipped as the mostly likely venue for Jedies and droids together.

These characters have braced our studios before, the very first star wars film was made in the UK back in 1976, and my friend here along with 200 other characters was designed and built in this very room, in Twickenhum.

Designers Andrew Ainsworth explains the attraction of Britain to film makers.

We have a lot of talents in England, we always have had. We’re very adaptable, and let’s face it, the economy is a bit low, and people are hungry for work, so anybody, like Disney, with a big business sense, a good business sense, would say I’m gonna get money for value there.

And there are plenty of actors looking for roles.

I’m very much hope to get a part, propping lots of the tense at the moment, and I’m actually hoping at the moment, JJ Abrams is watching Sky News so that he may well consider giving me a role. See, you know, I’ve been part of star wars since the very first film I worked on in 1991, and I was involved with a prequel, so it would be lovely to get a step back in just for a small cameo.

So Pinewood which has housed Harry Potter and James Bond will now welcome characters such as Udar. The Chancellor says, it’s the tax breaks fall that they have come.

I’ve got personally involved in trying to persuade the Lucasfilms to bring star wars to the UK, so I’m absolutely delighted, and you know, it looks like the force is stronger this one.

Last something for the Chancellor to laugh and go.

I’m sorry.

Like other movies, star war VII can get tax relief if 25% of the expenditure takes place in the UK, which can be claimed on up to 80% of the total budget. Before, 6 star wars box office sales totaled ￡2.8bn. At merchandising, it’s estimated they’ve made ￡17.6bn. But billionaires do like tax breaks.

Many, many years ago, the Britain didn’t support the film industry, when I came here, it was, you know, one of its last lags, and fortunately, now it’s lots steadier.

The new star wars is expected to feature old characters, such as Harrison Fords, Han Solo. It starts production next year, and the empire is back in cinemas in 2015.
