Cast Praises Director Gareth Edwards for his Work on 'Rogue One'
On Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, director Gareth Edwards literally put himself behind the camera, getting up close and personal with camera in hand, a job not usually assigned to the director himself.
"The whole methodology with Rogue One was to keep it very naturalistic," said Felicity Jones, who stars as Jyn Erso in the film. "Gareth often holds the camera himself because he wants to be there with you. With Gareth, we felt like we were all in it together."
Jiang Wen, who plays Baze Malbus, said that Edwards "shoots like he's a character among us. He held the camera all day, and that thing's heavy. And you realise he's tired. But I can tell he has a very big passion inside, because he still carried that thing the whole day, from beginning to end."
The film opens December 16, 2016, and has been described as a Star Wars film more akin to a war tale.
