Star Wars : Andor [Lucasfilm - 2022]

Bob Iger vient d'annoncer laujourd'hui lors de a conférence téléphonique sur les résultats financiers trimestriels de The Walt Disney Company que Lucasfilm développait une seconde série télévisée en prises de vues réelles pour Disney+, la plateforme de streaming qui sera lancée l'année prochaine !

Cette nouvelle série télévisée qui entrera en production l'année prochaine sera centrée sur le personnage de Cassian Andor déjà aperçu dans le film dérivé Rogue One : A Star Wars Story.

L'acteur mexicain Diego Luna reprendra son rôle dans cette série télévisée qui retracera les aventures de l'espion rebelle durant les premiers jours de la Rébellion, plusieurs années avant  les événements du film Rogue One : A Star Wars Story.

Le titre définitif de la série et sa date de diffusion ne sont pas encore connus.

Pour une série dérivée de Rogue One, pourquoi ne pas avoir repris le personnage de Jyn Erso plutôt ?

Tu es sûr d'avoir compris le personnage de Jyn Erso ?
Parce qu'on dirait pas

Il me semble qu'on n'a pas tant que ça d'infos sur ce qu'elle a fait entre son enfance et le moment où les rebelles la sortent de prison.

Très contente pour Cassian, c'est vraiment le seul de RO sur qui j'avais envie d'en savoir plus.
Et j'aime bien cet acteur.

Pour Jyn on a vu son enfance, son paternel, elle était quand même l’héroïne du film. Next.

Il y a aussi le roman Rebel Rising publié en 2017 (Soulèvement Rebelle en français) qui lui est consacré.

Ca me fait plaisir de savoir qu'ils sont toujours décidés à nous proposer des séries, quand bien même tout n'est pas toujours facile concernant les films.
J'avais adoré le personnage de Cassian dans Rogue One, il méritait qu'on en sache plus sur lui. Je ne m'attendais pas du tout à cette série, mais pour l'instant, ça me dit bien.

Il y a un roman consacré à Galen Erso (Catalyseur), un pour Chirrut et Baze (gardiens des whills), un pour Jyn Erso (Soulèvement rebelle) et Saw Guerrera apparaît danns plusieurs romans et dans les séries Star Wars The Clone Wars et Star Wars Rebels.


Ne rester donc que le personnage de Cassian Andor et son droïde K2SO à exploiter, et étant donné que leur histoire est liée à celle de la rébéllion, je ne trouve pas ça idiot de réaliser une série live pour en parler

La série commencera son tournage en Octobre 2019 en Californie après que Diego Luna ait fini ses prises sur la saison 2 de Narcos.

Disney Plus ‘Rogue One’ Spinoff Adds Stellan Skarsgard, Kyle Soller

Stellan Skarsgard and Kyle Soller are set to join Diego Luna in Disney Plus’ “Star Wars” series based on the Cassian Andor character Luna played in “Rogue One.”

Both actors are still in final negotiations for their roles. A Disney spokesperson declined to comment.

Tony Gilroy, who co-wrote “Rogue One,” is set to write the pilot for the series in addition to directing multiple episodes. He will work alongside series showrunner Stephen Schiff. Disney had previously indicated the show would debut in 2021, but it is unknown if the recent industry-wide shutdown caused but he COVID-19 pandemic will alter the premiere. Same goes for a production start date, which is still unknown due to the pandemic.

The untitled show focuses on Rebel agent Andor prior to the events of “Rogue One” in the early days of the Rebellion against the Empire. The show had been described as a “spy thriller” when plans for it were first revealed last year. It was also previously announced that Diego Luna would return as Andor, while Alan Tudyk is set to reprise his role as K-2SO, Andor’s droid sidekick.

Following the huge success of “The Mandalorian,” Disney Plus has ramped its development on other “Star Wars” series which include this series, a second season of “The Mandalorian” and a series focused on young Obi Wan-Kenobi with Ewan McGregor reprising the role. Variety exclusively announced that Joby Harold would take over writing duties on the “Obi Wan” series.

Skarsgard is coming off his critically acclaimed role in “Chernobyl,” which earned him an Emmy nomination and can be seen next in Legendary’s “Dune” adaptation. He is repped by CAA and Curtis Brown Group.

The role is one of Soller biggest jobs in his career after years of cutting his teeth on British TV shows like “101 Dalmation Street” and “Poldark.” He was recently seen in the HBO movie “Brexit” opposite Benedict Cumberbatch. He is repped by Hamilton Hoddel, Hhush and Gersh.

Diego Luna confirme dans le Jimmy Kimmel Live! show être actuellement à Londres pour le tournage de la série centrée sur le personnage de Cassian Andor.

Diego Luna confirms his Rogue One prequel show for Disney+ has started production, as he's currently in London working on the Star Wars series.

Diego Luna confirms the Rogue One prequel show has started filming.

Lucasfilm is taking advantage of the Disney+ platform to produce a full slate of Star Wars series, with The Mandalorian becoming the streaming service's flagship program. Among the other shows Lucasfilm is working on is a Rogue One prequel centered around Cassian Andor, the hardened Rebel soldier Luna played in the 2016 spinoff movie.

Back in February, shortly before the coronavirus pandemic took a turn for the worse, Luna said the Rogue One show would start production this year. Despite the ongoing health crisis throwing the entertainment industry into a state of flux and forcing numerous delays, the Rogue One show was able to stay on track and was gearing up to begin filming this fall. From the sound of things, the cameras are already rolling.

In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live, Luna revealed he's currently in London. When asked what he was shooting, Luna tried to play it coy by saying he was making "a short film with some friends." However, Kimmel let the cat out of the bag by stating the project was "for Disney+ with Lucasfilm involved." That is clearly in reference to the Rogue One show.

La série Star Wars : Andor sera diffusée sur Disney+ en 2022.

Andor

Andor, a tense nail-biting spy thriller created by Tony Gilroy, is set to arrive on Disney+ in 2022. Diego Luna, reprising the role of rebel spy Cassian Andor from Rogue One, will be joined by a fantastic new cast that includes Stellan Skarsgard, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, and Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma. Production kicked off three weeks ago in London.

Un décor qualifié d'imposant a été construit dans une ancienne carrière près de Little Marlow, un village situé au Nord-Ouest de Londres et à proximité des célèbres Pinewood Studios.

D'après le quotidien The Sun, il s'agirait d'un site de tournage pour la série Star Wars : Obi-Wan Kenobi mais des voix s'élèvent contre cette affirmation et voient plutôt en celui-ci un futur plateau de tournage pour la série Star Wars : Andor, d'autant plus que d'après The Daily Mail, le plateau resterait en place pour trois ans...

The Mirror a contacté Disney et/ou Lucasfilm sans obtenir le moindre commentaire.

Diego Luna will reprise his the role of rebel spy Cassian Andor from Rogue One and will be joined by a new supporting cast that includes Stellan Skarsgard, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, and Genevieve O’Reilly returning as Mon Mothma.

Andor is the first in a new wave of serialized content made specially for Disney+. It will come after The Book of Boba Fett slated for later this year and will be followed by the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, which is set to start filming this Spring for a 2022 release. Other live-action projects in the works include the spin-offs Ahsoka, Lando, and Rangers of the New Republic, all announced last year during Disney’s 2020 Investor Day. Disney+ will be the new main home for Star Wars until the theatrical release of Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron in 2023.

Filming on Andor has already begun in London with a mid-2022 release date planned for the 12-episode Disney+ series.

Lancashire is currently a hub of excitement as filming gets underway for new Disney+ series Star Wars: Andor.

So it's no surprise that an actor or two can be spotted at the filming site in Cleveleys.

TV crews, film sets and props can be see dotted around as filming starts on the series, which will feature Rogue One's Diego Luna and Hollywood heavyweight Stellan Skarsgard, who has starred in the likes of Pirates of the Caribbean, the Avengers Cinematic Universe, and Mamma Mia.

And it seems residents have already spotted Diego Luna, as well as Stormtroopers as the cameras get rolling.

Photographs from the resort yesterday (May 5) show them in action on set, surrounded by palm trees on the beach.

Espérons que ce soit aussi réussi que The Mandalorian

L'acteur Forest Whitaker apparaîtrait également dans la série, pour y reprendre évidemment le rôle de Saw Gerrera.

Ben Mendelsohn pourrait également reprendre son rôle de Krennic.
Je pensais que la série s'éloignerait de Rogue One pour être sa propre histoire mais au vu de ces rumeurs, elle semble vraiment vouloir se connecter au film de Gareth Edwards.

Christine McCarthy, directrice financière de Disney, vient d'annoncer que Andor sortira sur Disney+ lors du dernier trimestre 2022.
