The box with the question mark on it can be explained by this TED talk he did a while back:
Some text from /Film:
Since Abrams was announced as the new Star Wars director a
few days ago, discussion of the new film turned into a swirl of speculation and
reactions to the fact that Star Wars and Star Trek are now, in a way, united by
one creative force. Peter was extensively quoted in USA Today, for example,
saying:
It’s the ability to get the audience to care about the
characters on a much deeper level. Lucas’ Star Wars characters were iconic but
not much more than archetypes that may have now been copied over and over to
become film stereotypes. Abrams will be able to bring a deeper connection to
the characters and moments in Episode VII.
But what about comments from the director himself? At the
PGA Awards this weekend, Abrams told E! Online that being hired to make a new
Star Wars film is “wildly surreal,” and deferred any real talk of the script,
saying “It’s obviously way too early to talk specifics.” Given the nature of
this project, and the secrecy that Abrams likes to bring to all his work, we
should get ready for a barrage of content-free quotes. He told the Huffington
Post, for example,
“I can just say what I want to do:
I want to do the fans proud. I want to make sure the story is something that touches people. And we’re
just getting started. I’m very excited.”
With Episode VII set for a 2015 release, we’ve got at least
a year, and probably two, of similar dancing around specifics. Those who want
real info on Episode VII: be prepared to wait a good while longer. In fact, THR
says that Abrams isn’t fully committed to the 2015 release date, and cautions
that the film may be released later if the development process warrants it.
