Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII It would be odd if you did considering that I don't think any of these big budget films has it's effects shot completed in chronological order.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Or maybe all the CG was that quality and there was only a greater concentration of it at the end of the film. I'm not usually one to complain about CGI, but all the stuff with the flying Sentinels and the stadium at the end just looked really bad and incomplete to me. And more like the kind of quality we saw 10 or 15 years ago.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Samuel L.'s watching the Wimbledon men's final at the moment. Wonder why he's in England. Anything filming here at the moment ?
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Maybe because he likes to watch Tennis in Wimbledon.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII No way, he's a black dude. No way he's into tennis. God, get with the program.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII There you go again, jumping to sensible conclusions...
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Tom Cruise was in town to talk with JJ Abrams about Mission: Impossible 5, but that didn't stop rumors ranging from a cameo in Star Wars to... Harrison Ford is out and Tom Cruise is in.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII I think primary photography has wrapped for that, and it's probably too early for pick ups. I was thinking he might be shooting something a little more Mace Windu-ish...
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Still filming Age of Ultron. Hemsworth was in SW19 as well, does that mean you think he'll be in the new Wars film too?
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII ‘Star Wars’ Sets Short Hiatus As Two Actors Join Film The two actors:
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII This is one very big cast. And interesting how many younger actors there are as well. Which suggests to me that these are all either a group of Jedi in training, or perhaps a bunch of kids from an Academy that get sucked into the story somehow...
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII You really are determined not to let me make two and two equal five aren't you ?
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Wow, now they're saying Steven Moffat might be working on a SW film at some point. http://www.jedinews.co.uk/news/news.aspx?newsID=17563 As a huge fan of his writing, I would definitely be in favor of it, and think his style would be perfect for SW.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII ^The only thing I'd want to see more than a Steven Moffat Star Wars movie would be a Joss Whedon Star Wars movie.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII For all we know most of these people may not get more than one or two words of dialog.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII I'm thinking that the people in the picture and first announcement are the major actors whose characters the movie/s focus on, while all of the people announced since are probably playing smaller supporting roles.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII There's still debate in fan circles over whether or not Billy Dee Williams will actually appear in Episode VII given the actor's public willingness to reprise the role of Lando if J.J. and the producers want him. He hasn't been announced, of course, and that's led a lot of people to believe he's been deliberately omitted from the new film, but quite frankly we don't know everybody who's appearing or making cameos in the movies and probably won't for a long time. Last-minute cast additions before principal photography wraps aren't exactly a rarity in Hollywood.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII Plus depending on the context of the appearance it could be a second unit shoot without the need for him to come to the UK and thus be easier to sneak under the radar.
Re: New Casting and Story Rumors re: EPISODE VII There's also the possibility (however remote), that an appearance by someone like Lando might be an important plot point that they'd want to keep under wraps. Like Nimoy in STID.
