HitFix.com is reporting that multiple sources are confirming that Disney | Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Episode VII will begin filming in mid-May and will continue shooting through September.

This schedule doesn’t take into account any delays or pick up shooting dates which may be necessitated as production moves forward.

“Multiple sources now have confirmed for us that “Star Wars Episode VII” is set to start shooting mid-May and will run through September of this year, and most principal casting on the film is complete, with many announcements still to come. While Abrams had mentioned May during the TCA press tour and there had been speculation about the summer date, the full production schedule was finally confirmed for us.

If they wrap in September, that gives them over a year of post to build out the world that Abrams says he wants to make as close to the feel of the Original Trilogy as he possibly can.”
