Star Wars: Episode VII Offering Role To Jonathan Rhys Meyers?Who will he play? No telling. Will Abrams or anybody confirm it? Don't count on it. But Meyers makes as much sense for a role in the film as anybody else, having played a baddie in Abrams's own Mission: Impossible III, and making his name as the star of The Tudors and in movies like Match Point, From Paris With Love and Bend It Like Beckham. On the other hand he's the lead character in Dracula...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-05-20 08:21:32comments
Star Trek Merchandise Fights Stopped J.J.

J.J. Abrams Says John Williams Will Score Star Wars: Episode VIIWiliams and Star Wars go hand in hand, and if he’s willing to come back to score Episode VII, then I understand why Abrams would welcome him with open arms (though the way he presents it, it almost makes it sounds like this is something he was told was going to happen, whether he wanted it or not). ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-04-30 14:41:59comments
Star Wars Episode VII Fan-Made Posters Take Speculation To A New LevelThere is no script for Star Wars Episode VII. There is no cast in place.

Watch Star Wars Episode VII As Directed By Michael HanekeAside from the weird interaction between Sally Field and host Seth MacFarlane at the top of the show, this year's Oscars were light on parodies of the nominated films-- maybe it was so distinctly Billy Crystal's thing that they didn't feel they could continue it?

Kathleen Kennedy Exits Jurassic Park 4 For Star Wars Episode VIIFor most people, a promotion might entail a change in uniform, a bigger office, or a company car... if you’re lucky.
