News keep getting more and more exciting! While everybody in Dubrovnik is understandably happy about the filming of Star Wars Episode VIII in their fair city, the questions about the scope of the filming and characters to appear on the set keep arising. One of the most important and intriguing issues is whether this year’s filming in Dubrovnik will be it for the Star Wars franchise or is there a chance this Croatian holiday hotspot appears in the sequel(s) as well?
Could Dubrovnik be the next movie Mecca in Europe?
According to SeeBiz.eu there is an idea of building an actual film studio in the near vicinity of Dubrovnik to boost the city’s appeal among the international production companies. They quoted mayor’s spokesperson Petar Ipsic as saying the issue was actually discussed during the meeting in San Francisco with representatives of Lucasfilms who apparently expressed interest for cooperation on the project, thus giving way to speculations, this year’s Star Wars filming in Dubrovnik could be just the beginning of a long lasting cooperation.
We are keeping our fingers firmly crossed.
