The following note from Star Wars: Episode VII co-writer and director J.J. Abrams has surfaced online (via ScreenCrush) and while I don’t know if this is something Abrams does before each of his films, it certainly seems to exhibit he understands the enormity of the undertaking of which he and his cast and crew have accepted.
If you find it hard to read, here’s a transcript.
DEAREST CAST AND CREW, WHAT AN HONOR IT IS TO WORK BESIDE ALL OF YOU, ON STAR WARS EP VII. I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH, FOR ALL WORK PAST AND FUTURE. LET’S TAKE GOOD CARE OF NOT JUST OURSELVES, BUT OF EACH OTHER. AMAZING, BUT TRUE: THE WORLD AWAITS THIS FILM. LET’S GIVE ‘EM SOMETHING GREAT. XO JJ
