Less than a week after we announced Star Wars: Episode VII will be filming in Dubrovnik, Croatia, set photos are already emerging.
Accoding to a recent post on the Dubrovnik city website, Star Wars (which is going by the working title Space Bears) will be filming in the city from March 9 – March 16. Here’s the official statement:
Dear visitors,
Dubrovnik will soon again be the host of the big american production “Space Bear,” which confirms our city as an attractive filming location.
For a couple of days in March traffic in the Old Town will be specially regulated. We believe this situation will not cause problems to you, and that you will have a pleasant time in Dubrovnik.
Preparations of the sets will happen on the 9th and 10th of March from 6pm to 12am, and preparation for filming and filming itself will happen on 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th of March, specifically 4am to 4pm for the filming preparations, and 4pm to 4am of the next day for the filming itself.
Thanks for understanding and we wish you a pleasant stay in Dubrovnik.
Though filming won’t begin until March 9, crews are alrady busy building sets for the shoot, including several mysterious doorways. Epic Stream has collected several photos from the set in Croatia, check them out below:
