It&#8217;s totally mine to screw up, so if you don&#8217;t like it, it&#8217;s completely on me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our sets are almost done, so we&#8217;re going to go back and start shooting next month.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Abrams also spoke about how the movie will be filmed. &#8220;We&#8217;re shooting on film, 2-D, and then we&#8217;ll do a good high-end conversion like the Harry Potter movie and all that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Luckily, with our release date now we have the months needed to do it right because if you rush it, it never looks good.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were talking about [shooting in IMAX] and I would love to do it.
