Show producing is a complicated profession:
While speaking at the ATX TV festival remotely, Jon Favreau confirmed that The Mandalorian season 2 will premiere on time in October. As it turns out, Favreau and crew were a lot further along than most expected when the world’s current state of affairs threw everything into chaos. Baby Yoda will be back to help try and make the end of the year a bit better from when it started. Favreau had this to say.
“We were lucky enough to have finished photography before the lockdown, so thanks to how technology-forward Lucasfilm and ILM are, we’ve been able to do all the editing visual effects remotely… It will be available as planned on Disney+ in October.”
Good complicated, in this case. I guess Old Man Lucas’s technophilia wasn’t all bad, hey? Maybe the studios should just decentralize even more, going forward. Since they’re going to have to rebuild their production model anyway…
