In October 2012, Star Wars creator George Lucas sold his production company Lucasfilm, and with it the Star Wars franchise, to The Walt Disney Company. Disney announced a new trilogy of Star Wars films.[23] J. J. Abrams was named director of the first episode in the trilogy, The Force Awakens, in January 2013.[24][25] In June 2014, director Rian Johnson was reported to be in talks to write and direct Episode VIII and to write a treatment for Episode IX, with Ram Bergman producing both films.[26][27] Johnson confirmed in August 2014 that he would direct Episode VIII.[28] In September, filmmaker Terry Gilliam asked Johnson about what it felt like to take over something that was made famous by another filmmaker, to which Johnson responded:

I'm just starting into it, but so far, honestly, it's the most fun I've ever had writing. It's just joyous. But also for me personally, I grew up not just watching those movies but playing with those toys, so as a little kid, the first movies I was making in my head were set in this world. A big part of it is that direct connection, almost like an automatic jacking back into childhood in a weird way. But I don't know, ask me again in a few years and we'll be able to talk about that.[29]

Johnson stated that the story would begin immediately after the last scene of The Force Awakens.[20] Johnson had the story group working on the film watch films such as Twelve O'Clock High, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Gunga Din, Three Outlaw Samurai, Sahara and Letter Never Sent for inspiration while developing ideas.[20][30] He felt it was difficult to work on the film while The Force Awakens was being finished.[20] In December 2015, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy admitted that "we haven't mapped out every single detail [of the sequel trilogy] yet". She said that Abrams was collaborating with Johnson and that Johnson would in turn work with Episode IX director Colin Trevorrow to ensure a smooth transition.[31] Abrams is an executive producer along with Jason McGatlin and Tom Karnowski.[32]

Casting
In September 2015, Disney shortlisted the female cast members to Gina Rodriguez, Tatiana Maslany, and Olivia Cooke.[33] Later that month, Benicio del Toro confirmed that he will play the villain in the film,[11] and Mark Hamill was also confirmed.[3] In October 2015, Gugu Mbatha-Raw was rumored to have been cast in the film.[34] In November, Jimmy Vee was cast as R2-D2.[17] In November, Kennedy announced at the London premiere for Star Wars: The Force Awakens that the entire cast would return for Episode VIII, along with "a handful" of new cast members.[4] In February 2016, at the start of filming, it was confirmed that Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran had been cast in unspecified roles.[2]

Filming
Second unit photography began during pre-production at Skellig Michael in Ireland on September 14, 2015, due to the difficulties of filming at that location during other seasons. It would have lasted four days,[35][36][37] but filming was canceled for the first day due to poor weather and rough conditions.[38] In November 2014, Ivan Dunleavy, chief executive of Pinewood Studios, confirmed that the film would be shot at Pinewood,[39] with filming also occurring in Mexico.[8] In September 2015, del Toro revealed that principal photography would begin in March 2016;[11] however, Kennedy later stated that filming would begin in January 2016.[4] The production began work on the 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios on November 15, 2015.[40] Rick Heinrichs served as production designer.[41]

In January 2016, production of Episode VIII was delayed until February 2016, due to script rewrites.[42] Additionally, filming was potentially in danger of being delayed further due to an upcoming strike between the Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television and the Broadcasting, Entertainment, Cinematograph and Theatre Union.[43] On February 10, 2016, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that principal photography had begun,[44] under the working title Space Bear.[20] Additional filming took place in Dubrovnik from March 9 to March 16, 2016,[45][46] as well as in Ireland in May.[47] Malin Head in Donegal County and a mountain headland, Ceann Sibeal in County Kerry, served as additional filming locations.[48] Principal photography wrapped on July 22, 2016,[49] though as of early September 2016, Nyong'o had not filmed her scenes.[50]

Watch The Secret Life of Pets Free Online In Hd

The Secret Life of Pets is a 2016 American 3D computer-animated buddy adventure comedy film produced by Illumination Entertainment. It is directed by Chris Renaud and co-directed by Yarrow Cheney[1] and written by Brian Lynch, Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio.[3] The film stars Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Steve Coogan, Ellie Kemper, Bobby Moynihan, Lake Bell, Dana Carvey, Hannibal Buress, Jenny Slate and Albert Brooks.

The Secret Life of Pets premiered at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival on June 16, 2016 and was released in theaters in the United States on July 8, 2016 by Universal Pictures. Upon release, it received positive reviews and grossed $875 million worldwide, becoming the sixth highest grossing original animated film not produced by Disney or Pixar and the sixth highest-grossing film of 2016.[6]


Plot
A Jack Russell Terrier named Max lives with his owner Katie in a Manhattan apartment. While she is at work during the day, he hangs out with other pets in the building: tabby cat Chloe, pug Mel, dachshund Buddy, and budgerigar Sweetpea. One day, Katie adopts Duke, a large and shaggy mongrel from the pound, leaving Max jealous because of her divided focus on Duke. Enraged by Max's attitude towards him, Duke tries to abandon Max in an alley, but they are both attacked by a gang of alley cats led by Sphynx cat Ozone. The cats remove both dogs' collars and leave them to be caught by Animal Control. Duke fears that he will be put down if he goes back to the pound.

They are rescued by a rabbit named Snowball, the leader of "The Flushed Pets" – a gang of sewer-dwelling animals who hate humans because their owners abandoned and mistreated them. After Max and Duke pretend to despise humans as much as they do, the Flushed Pets invite them to join. Before they can prove their loyalty by allowing a one-fanged viper to bite them, Snowball learns from the cats that Max and Duke are domesticated. The two dogs escape the sewers and board a ferry to Brooklyn, inadvertently killing the viper in the process; Snowball vows to kill them and leads the Flushed Pets after them.

Gidget, a white Pomeranian who has a crush on Max, discovers that he is missing and recruits a shady red-tailed hawk named Tiberius to locate him. After looking over the city for Max, Tiberius returns carrying Ozone, whom Gidget coerces into telling what he knows about the dogs. Gidget and Tiberius then enlist Mel, Buddy, Chloe, guinea pig Norman, Sweetpea, and a paralyzed old basset hound named Pops to begin searching Manhattan. The group encounters Snowball, who vows to kill them as well, and Norman is captured as the rest of Gidget's team flees.

In Brooklyn, Max and Duke begin to get along with each other and raid a sausage factory for food. Duke tells Max about his previous owner, Fred, an elderly man who adopted him as a puppy and loved to spend time with him. One day, Duke got lost while chasing a butterfly and was caught by Animal Control, but Fred never came to claim him. Max convinces him to visit Fred's house in a nearby neighborhood, confident that Fred will still love him and take him back. When they arrive, though, they learn from a resident cat named Reginald that Fred died. Heartbroken and angst-ridden, Duke accuses Max of attempting to get rid of him and barks at the new homeowners, who just return to their "own" house and call Animal Control. The handlers catch Max, but Duke interferes long enough for Max to escape and ends up being captured instead.

While trying to rescue Duke as he follows the Animal Control van, Max is attacked by the vengeful Snowball who tries to kill him. However, Snowball's gang are captured, and Snowball realizes that he and Max must work together to rescue them. They drive and crash a city bus into the van on the Brooklyn Bridge, stopping traffic. The Flushed Pets arrive and corner Max, unaware of his partnership with Snowball, but Gidget and her team save him. The van rolls away; the captured Flushed Pets escape, but the van falls into the East River with Max and Duke inside. Max is unable to get the keys to Duke's cage, so Snowball jumps into the river to retrieve them, allowing Max and Duke to escape the sinking van. Once out of the river, Snowball realizes how good being heroic feels.

At first, Snowball resists, but gives in to her sweetness and lets himself become a domesticated pet. The remaining Flushed Pets return to the sewers, the domesticated pets return to their homes and embrace their owners, and Max and Duke finally reunite with Katie, sparking a true friendship.
