However, that might not necessarily be the case.<\/p>\n<p>Buried deep in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/official-jj-abrams-closes-deal-415603\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>&#8216;s story on Disney&#8217;s announcement of Abrams&#8217; hiring is the following &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Episode VII<\/strong> is set for release in 2015, but sources say Abrams has not committed to that release date, meaning the date could be changed if the development process requires it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While I am sure that Disney would love to have the film in theaters when they originally announced it would be, I am sure that they know that Abrams does things in his own good, sweet time. Remember that his 2009 <strong>Star Trek<\/strong> was delayed from the summer to December in order to finish it to his specifications. That film&#8217;s follow up has taken almost four years to get to theaters.<\/p>\n<p>If <strong>Episode VII<\/strong> does get pushed back out of 2015, it might not be the worse thing to happen. That summer already has both <strong>The Avengers 2<\/strong> and <strong>Justice League<\/strong> penciled in. <strong>Avengers 2<\/strong> should be depositing a ton of money in Disney&#8217;s bank account. With Episode VII in 2016, Disney has the potential to have the top grossing film of the year two years in a row. I imagine that it would look nice on the spreadsheets to have that kind of box office two years in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Abrams may be taking his time on this.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2013\/01\/28\/we-may-not-be-seeing-star-wars-episode-vii-in-2015\/\" title=\"We May Not Be Seeing STAR WARS: EPISODE VII In 2015\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[1059,5830],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-26181","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-j-j-abrams","8":"tag-star-wars-episode-vii"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26181\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26181"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=26181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
