Pic of the Day: Rian Johnson and the Episode VIII Script on the Cover of Wired Magazine
George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, Rian Johnson, BB-8 and Yoda are all featured on the cover of the June issue of Wired magazine. But the most interesting detail in the photo is beneath Rian Johnson’s left foot. It’s the Episode VIII script. If you zoom in you can see the writing “SW EP VIII”! I think it’s too early for the script to be ready so probably this is just a cool Easter Egg. The article is about The Untold Story of ILM and you can check it out HERE.

What is Michael Bay doing there among people who actually do/did their jobs well?
The same question is going through my head as well!
Two words: ILM – Transformers
But Michael Bay is an example of someone who used ILM improperly. Somebody please Photoshop him and Bumblebee out of this picture.
They should photoshop bumble bee pissing on his head actually. It’s a great metaphor for what he did to the franchise
Actually, there are several people who shouldn’t even be in this photograph.
Exactly!
Thank you for this comment! At least he is the one that steps back from the others in the picture.
Probably providing extra explosions in Episode VIII
That’s an awesome cover, and a very cool easter egg!
2015: Return of the Raptor!
That was a really cool article. I had no idea that car scene in Jurassic Park was CGI. Crazy.

I know right, I thought it was an actuall car rigged with cables and jerry rigged that moved, and the Rex was added later to match the movements
Actually I hope it is the episode VIII script, cuz don’t they need get start filming that……Like now?
It comes out a year and a half after VII
They got time. Rogue One goes into Pinewood this summer to film for 6 months. Then VIII moves in right after for roughly 6 months. So VIII will have roughly 6 months after for post-production, and then release!
Oh, right. I’ve heard so little about Rogue One I almost thought it had been canceled.
Hulk Smash Bumblebee!
No one from ILM in 1976 is on the cover? Even Joe Johnston? Just shitty directors. Only Lucas has the right to be there as he formed the company.
Must be awesome taking credit and spotlight for other’s work.
Really? Spielberg? Shitty?
BB-8 deserves the most credit. Finally that crappy R2 unit will be replaced.
whats wrong with you
Yaay BB8
Ok…elephant in the room…Hulk Vs. Yoda…Iron Man Vs. T-1000…who wins these battles? 🙂
Obviously Yoda is the superior warrior in the mix here and would ride into battle on the back of the velociraptor prior to taking down the Hulk…but given Yoda’s past relationship with Chewy, I’m thinking we’d be more likely to see a Hulk/Yoda team-up than a battle. Yoda riding on the shoulders of the Hulk taking on the world – there’s a thought…
I’m going to go with Iron Man over the T-1000. I’m pretty sure he could invent a weapon that would bring about the demise that the T-1000 met at the end of T2.
Ok…Nerd moment over.
Epic battle
An insult not to put Zemeckis instead of Bay or Del Toro, just to put 2 exemples…
I think it’s really cool to see Duncan Jones in that circle of people. He’s such a talented young film maker with a bright future ahead of him.
I’m already excited about episode 8. I hope Rian Johnson takes Star Wars to a place of gritty urban decay and treacherous urban sophistication. It was the urban bits that felt most inspired in Looper.
Anyone spot antman?
Thanks for the heads up. I missed it by focusing on the people.
Common mistake ……
after they finish one more theatrical trailer of star wars the force awakens in december will they reveal the title for star wars episode 8 in may 2017 like may 26 im gonna name the title for star wars episode 8 the emperor hand or awakening of the jedi or vader rise for star wars episode 8 dont forget star wars episode 9 working title
