Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens is due out in cinemas in December 2015, and today sees the release of the first teaser trailer. Expect many more in the next 13 months.
This one features a deep voice, a la Barry White, some flying things, some shooty things, and a three-pronged lightsabre!
Ever-present Andy Serkis will be one of the newbies, alongside John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Lupita Nyong’o and the awesome Max von Sydow. They will all be alongside Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker.
A cast photo was released in April, and the full name of the film was released earlier this month.
JJ Abrams will direct, but once again he’s been proved to be a cheap-ass, since while it’ll appear in 3D in the cinema, just like Star Trek Into Darkness, he’s filming it in 2D, and then doing a post-conversion into 3D. If you’re going to make it 3D, do so from the start!
The film will be written by Lawrence Kasdan and JJ Abrams, produced by Kathleen Kennedy, JJ Abrams and Bryan Burk, and the composer, as ever, is John Williams.
Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakenswill be released at cinemas on December 18th, 2015, and check out the trailer below:
