Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Pre-release)

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

I feel for Anthony. From signing a ton of autographs at our con here in Calgary on the weekend straight to England for the reading... if that photo was taken today.
 
Re: Star Wars Episode VII

All I'd suggest here is that people maintain a sense of guarded enthusiasm. Casting alone doesn't tell you how they're gonna use anyone, nor what the character's importance will be.

For example, lots of people have expected that Adam Driver will be the villain in this story. But we have no idea in what capacity, whether he'll be human or an alien, or what.

It's an interesting cast, to be sure, with some really stellar talent. But it's gonna have to be a good story and good use of that talent for it to be a good movie.
 
Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Yes!!!

As for Cumberbatch, he's insanely over-exposed, and frankly over-rated. Putting him in this would be like putting Tommy Lee Jones in a Batman movie in the mid 90s...
 
Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Seems like JJ keeps on checking the boxes.

I am glad they decided to go with a more unknown cast. I think it helps maintain the fantasy when you aren't recognizing famous actors in there
 
Re: Star Wars Episode VII

I like the R2 in the crate.
I feel like I am 10 years old again! So, we at the R2 Builders club speculate that R2 is an original trilogy droid sent over for reference for our boys to research and work from. we don't think that is the new Episode 7 R2 built by Lee Towersey and Oliver Steeples of the R2 Builders club.
While its not the same crate or R2.... Its clearly an ILM/Lucasfilm style crate there as well. The crate matches the one in this Annie Leibovitz photo: (The open door in the new BW E7 photo even has similar writings on the door.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Okay, I'm totally on board.

Can we start guessing what roles they'll each play now? Seems pretty likely that Daisy Ridley will be playing Han and Leia's daughter. Not sure about the others though. Hmm...

Max von Sydow (What hasn't he been in! :p His career abroad began with The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) and Hawaii (1966). Since then, his career includes very different kind of characters, like Emperor Ming in Flash Gordon in 1980 (And for that reason alone I bet George Lucas hand picked or Highly suggested this actor! ) or the artist Frederick in Hannah and Her Sisters (1986). In 1987, he made his directing debut with Katinka (1988). He has become one of Sweden's most admired and professional actors.)
