Artwork for the upcoming Star Wars Episode 7 could be coming soon, as Disney has reportedly contacted the longtime Star Wars promotional artist.
In a recent interview, artist Drew Struzan revealed that he was in talks with Disney to create promotional content for the next Star Wars movie.
"I got a couple calls already this week on Star Wars from Disney," Struzan revealed to Fanhattan. "Oh my god, I'm trying to be retired! You know, I spent 35 years painting Star Wars."
The artist added that, "I painted Star Wars before most of you were born! But I guess there is always a chance. There's no intention... If the opportunity arises, it will be a real temptation. But it's going to have to be a real temptation to get me away from my wife and my little grandkids and my family... But, you know, never say never. All things are possible."
Struzan also did promotional work on "The Thing," "Indiana Jones," Back to the Future," and some of the "Harry Potter" films.
"Star Wars Episode 7" will be released in the summer of 2015. The script will be written by Michael Arndt. There is currently no director attached to the project.
