ST Casting Rumors 2.0 - Nothing but casting rumors... or else.

What about Speleers?

 

NM

 

Maybe him too,but I thought I read some where he was going to be in another project. Who knows. The list looks kind of shady now any ways. With all the actors getting other jobs.

 

We're probably all jinxing ourselves by saying who is left.

 

We could make a game of it. 1,2,3 not in it.

 

I just looked it up and Downton is shooting right now. Maybe it will be finished in a couple weeks. I don't really know what their shooting schedule is like since they always seems to film at different times of the year.

 

Looks like Ray Fisher will have a small part in Batman vs. Super so don´t rule out yet.

 

The movie is shooting for 6 month at the same time as Episode VII is. He wont be in both especially if the rumor plan is to have him in the Justice League movie.

 

Its kinda sad/funny that Superman vs Batman, which comes out in 2016, has more confirmed castings than Star wars 7. Heck Star wars 7 is even filming and we dont know! I just feel like the longer they go without telling who has been cast, the bigger the impression that this film is having major casting problems becomes, even if it might not be having any.

 

Bye Bye Ray Fisher lol

 

I hope John Boyega gets it!! Team Boyega lol

 

He seems to be the only one that isn't working on any thing TV or movie wise lately. Although knowing our luck his name will pop up for another project in like a week.

 

As far as Horn's involvement with the Star Wars franchise and SWVII specifically, there is another wrinkle to the story that no one has put forth here yet. Remember that the plan now is for Iger to leave his job as CEO in spring/summer 2016. That is around 6 months after the release of SWVII. I would be very surprised if Horn wasn't really considering a run at that position as it would be incredibly lucrative for him financially even if he was only there for a few years. If he has any thoughts to do this, he absolutely needs SWVII to knock it out of the park to put himself at the very least on the short list of potential CEO's but maybe even put him at the top. Something to think about as the next few years roll on...

 

I wouldn't be at all surprised if NONE of the rumoured actors were actually in it. We are talking about the mystery box here after all, and could very well be taken by complete surprise. It will probably be mostly unknowns that aren't on anybody's radar.

 

What a twist!

 

An update on John Boyega that was posted April 18th
"
John Boyega has said that despite rumours he is in Star Wars: Episode VII, he is still waiting for the call up from director JJ Abrams.

Asked whether it was true that he was filming for the latest instalment of the film franchise, Half Of A Yellow Sun star John reckoned it was all speculation.
He said: "That would be fun, but I'm still waiting for JJ to give me that call, that first audition. JJ - Star Wars, I'd do it, I'd do a great job.
"It's speculation but it's great to have your name even put next to a film like that. Who wouldn't want to be in Star Wars? It'd be great."

Wait, so Boyega hasn't even auditioned?

 

Now all I can imagine is him waiting by the phone all day and whenever it rings he answers it like

 

At this point I'm expecting a full CGI movie with voice actors.

 

Keep in mind that probably 95% of people who will ultimately see this film have no idea what the situation with casting is right now and never will. The fan base that is following this thing through pre-production and chronicling these rumors and lack of announcements is minuscule compared to the film's whole audience. Yes, we may have the impression right now that the film is having major casting problems, but when the rest of the world sees a first and second trailer and then the film in December 2015, that's irrelevant (unless the long casting process results in poor casting, though I'd argue that it seems like they're being very thorough in the process to ensure that's not the case).

 

I can't figure out what's more bothersome...

...the complete lack of news, or the fact that everyone keeps arguing about it.

 

The second one....

Definitely the second one...
