SW2 Plot Line?

Well folks, we're not sure how credible this source is just yet, so were
going to spill the beans to you right up front: The following text was taken
from a weekly Hollywood insider newsletter called Production Weekly. It's a
weekly publication of around 25 pages that lists films and television series
in all stages of production. Supposedly, the information contained is from
the various production offices themselves, although it is unclear where all
of the information originates.
For the sake of any confusion, we're going to give you all of the entry for
Episode II. Here's the excerpt, and following that I'll (Josh) analyse what
you've just read. Of course, this is definitely spoiler material if it's
true about the next Star Wars movie, so highlight to read:
PRODUCTION WEEKLY 11/11/99
"STAR WARS: EPISODE II" Digital Feature/20th Century Fox
6/3/99 LUCASFILM
5858 Lucas Valley Rd.
San Rafael, CA 94903
*******@
lucasfilm.com
PHONE - ***-***-****
FAX - ***-***-****
STATUS - June 2000
LOCATION - Australia - Tunisia - Italy - Spain - Portugal
PRODUCER - Rick McCallum DIRECTOR - George Lucas PM - Jo Burn
CAST - Ewan McGregor - Natalie Portman - Ahmed Best - Jesse Spencer
The Clone Wars reach their pinnacle as the Jedi Knights battle the forces of
evil on the planet Corcord Dawn. Senator Palpatine grows closer to gaining
total dominance over the crumbling Republic government while Anakin
Skywalker weds Padme Amidala, Luke and Leia's future mother.
OK, so the title they used is correct. This would be the working title of
the film at this point. There's no question that SW2 is the working title,
at the Ranch and ILM. It's been called that since day one. The problem is,
it's also common knowledge. Real: 1, Fake: 0.
The production offices are correct, and the phone numbers and email supplied
also correspond and function properly, lending even more credibility to the
report. The date you see there is the date of the beginning of
pre-production, or when the film was first listed in the reports. This
agrees with the statements of the art department, stating that work on the
next sequel had started before the release of TPM. While this information
can be found, it's hard to fudge. Of course, they must have listed TPM when
it was coming out, so they could have cut and pasted the contact info from
then. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Real: 2, Fake: 0.
Next up is the status line, which also agrees with the published and
official sources that show SW2 starting in June 2000. But here's where part
of the information begins to break down: Is Episode II going to film in all
of those locations? There was scouting done in each of the locations listed,
but it's highly doubtful that photography will actually extend over each of
these countries. Could this be a leftover rumor and just not updated since
the scouting was completed? Could be. Again, this information is not unknown
but does tend to lead towards that the information may be old or just
gathered from Internet sources. Real: 2, Fake: 1.
Obviously, the crew would remain the same for the next sequel, so seeing
Lucas and McCallum shouldn't suprise anyone. The name of Jo Burn wasn't
familiar to me at least, and a quick check of the Official Site yielded
nothing. However, a run through of the credits of TPM confirm the production
manager's name as Jo Burn so this too is correct. Again, common knowledge,
so does little to authenticate the listing. Score tied.
And from here on out, you'll have to judge for yourself. There's the cast
list, including the obvious Portman, McGregor and Best, but with the
addition of Jesse Spencer as well, right along side. Did they just read the
rumors on the Internet about his casting and include it in the report? Is
Spencer really in the running (or have the part locked up for Anakin),
despite his publisher's comments earlier this week? Tough to say, so I guess
you'll have to decide for yourself.
Then of course, there's the plot details. Some known, some thought to be
true, and some new stuff as well. The detail of the summary implies it's
source may have been credible, but where it came from we don't really know.
Is it true? Is this the setting of the movie? Some of it certainly is
accurate, and would have been in any good fan's guess as to the plot of the
film. Other elements suggest knowledge beyond ours, well, either that or a
good work of fiction. But hey, you've read it, so there's no use to rehash
them herem right? Your call. Although WileE4 points out one serious flaw in
it: Senator Palpatine? Shouldn't it be Chancellor?
So where does this bring us? Hard to say. Basically, there's some possible
stuff we got, we thought you might want.
Read it, but believe it at your own risk.
We would like to thank several unnamed sources for contributing to this
report. Also, Production Weekly Offices did not return either of our email
attempts Thursday as of this writing. We'll post a report if/when we do get
some type of response or further information. Click this link if you want to
visit their website, and you can check out an altered scan of the original
listing here as well. Please use this Jedicouncil Thread for posting on this
subject. MTFBWYA!
