As news about the forthcoming Star Wars 7 shoot continues to leak out, the latest reports suggest that Iceland has been added to the list of filming locations.

According to Icelandic site visir.is, the crew will be heading for the Scandinavian nation this Spring ahead of the main production kicking off in May.

However don’t expect to see Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford et al on Icelandic soil, as it appears that the production team have mainly landscape shots in mind.

The site reports that Iceland will be used mainly for filming landscape ‘plate shots’ which will then be used for scenery – although the news has sparked speculation that the movie could be partly set on the ice planet Hoth.
