With Star Wars: Episode VII edging towards a production start date, a possible casting breakdown has emerged online, giving some potential clues to the direction the new film will head in.
The breakdown reads as follows:
Article continues below- Late-teen female, independent, good sense of humour, fit.
- Young twenty-something male, witty and smart, fit but not traditionally good looking.
- A late twenty-something male, fit, handsome and confident.
- Seventy-something male, with strong opinions and tough demeanour. Also doesn’t need to be particularly fit.
- A second young female, also late teens, tough, smart and fit.
- Forty something male, fit, military type.
- Thirtysomething male, intellectual. Apparently doesn’t need to be fit.
We like the inclusion of “good sense of humour” as a requirement for the leading role. No sour-pusses please…
Whether or not the breakdown is legit remains to be seen, but the site claims to be 100% convinced of its veracity. If nothing else, it should provide plenty of grist for the rumour mill.
Directed by J.J. Abrams, Star Wars: Episode VII will open in the UK in May 2015.
Oh, and for an idea of who could nab the roles, we've been asking a few of Hollywood's biggest stars if they'd like to get involved...
