Viewers can now get a sneak peek at what’s to come in The Mandalorian & Grogu, the upcoming Star Wars film, thanks to the release of new filming details. The Mandalorian, which Star Wars revealed earlier this year, is set to make its big screen debut.
Disney has now officially confirmed that this will be the next Star Wars film to be released in theaters, and the first since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. Other than the fact that it will follow Din Djarin and Grogu from The Mandalorian, not much is known about this film. However, these production details give an idea of what to expect.
These filming details for The Mandalorian and Grogu, which were shared by Deadline, are derived from the most recent list of films that the state of California has granted tax incentives to.
The Mandalorian & Grogu will be the first Star Wars film to be filmed entirely in California, although A New Hope and Return of the Jedi had some scenes filmed there.
Furthermore, according to the report, The Mandalorian & Grogu will “be hiring 3,500 background players, 54 cast members, and 500 crew members for 92 filming days.”
This means that the next Star Wars movie will be produced in about four months, which is only two months less than the TV show The Mandalorian typically takes to film.
Then, it’s predicted to bring in a record-breaking sum of money for wages and expenses, coming to roughly $166,438,000, thereby extending an exciting Star Wars trend for this subfranchise.
Given the recent fan discussion regarding The Mandalorian & Grogu’s budget, these details are extremely intriguing.
This enormous tax payment seems to be in line with the theory that the upcoming Star Wars film will have a relatively modest budget, despite earlier rumors that it would have a smaller budget than previous seasons of The Mandalorian TV series.
This, along with the fact that The Mandalorian & Grogu is expected to be produced in four months, seems to indicate that a large portion of the filming will take place on the Volume soundstage, just like in the TV series version of the project.
This is because The Mandalorian & Grogu must fulfill a number of conditions in order to be eligible for this tax credit. The Volume soundstage will probably play a significant role in the film.
This is because, according to Davis Wright Tremaine, eligibility for this kind of allocation requires either 75% of the movie’s budget to be dedicated to goods, services, and wages in the state or 75% of principal photography to take place in the state.
Therefore, these specifics demonstrate that The Mandalorian & Grogu is approaching its theatrical premiere in a novel, distinctive, and historic way.
