Recently Buzzfeed spoke with the designer and asked him about his next project. Here's what he had to say:
Buzzfeed: So will you be switching up and maybe picking a period drama for your next film [after Star Trek]? What’s coming up next?
Michael Kaplan: Well, 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.”
Michael Kaplan is known for his work on I Am Legend, Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness, Flashdance, Seven, The Game, Panic Room, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, and Miami Vice.
