As someone who has been a fan of 'Star Wars' series since childhood, director JJ Abrams has promised that he will keep the upcoming movie in the sci-fi franchise as real as possible.
Disney announced 'Star Treck' director Abrams as the helmer for the next movie in the franchise this January for a 2015 release.
Abrams is not ready to reveal much about what fans should expect from the next film but said it would be emotional and authentic, reported the Entertainment Weekly.
"It's been nice to see that how important it is and to be reminded how important it is to so many people. We all know that (George Lucas') dream has become almost a religion to some people. I remember reading a thing somewhere, someone wrote about just wanting (the new film) to feel real; to feel authentic. I remember I felt that way when I was 11 years old when I saw the first one. As much of a fairy tale as it was, it felt real. And to me, that is exactly right," Abrams said.
