Television producer JJ Abrams is reportedly going to shoot 'Star Wars Episode VII' in Morocco.

According to Metro.co.uk, Abrams plans to frame the planet Tatooine in the country, and the shoot will take place on May 14 for two weeks.

Earlier, it was George Lucas who shot scenes for Tatooine in Morocco for the original trilogy.

Though the cast hasn't been revealed yet, it is rumoured that Adam Driver might play a Darth Vader-style villain.

The film is expected to release in 2015.
