Michael Kaplan, the man behind Star Trek Into Darkness' distinctive costume designs, has revealed that he's joined the production crew of Disney's forthcoming Star Wars sequel.
Talking with Buzzfeed, the famed designer whose credits include Blade Runner, Star Trek (2009), and Fight Club, explained: "I’ve just learned I’ll be working on the new Star Wars movie, again with J.J. Everything just got formalized [last week], I haven’t even had the chance to talk to anyone about it all other than to be told ‘welcome aboard.’
It’s a little too soon to know exactly what’s in store but I’m excited, absolutely, to get to work on another prestigious sci-fi series.”
In case you need reminding of Kaplan's work...
