Star Wars: Episode 7 has been one of the most talked about films set for 2015, and there have been constant rumors on who could be snagging a part.
Episode VII Gets New Filming Location?
It was recently rumored that the film, directed by J.J. Abrams, would cast actors who audiences haven't really heard of. Dominic Monaghan, who previously worked with Abrams on the ABC series Lost, revealed in an interview published on Metro on what the director's been up to involving casting.
"We talked about it a few times," Monaghan said on the chances of being cast himself. "Once I knew that he was doing Star Wars, I sent him a little congratulatory message and stuff.'"
"We've talked a few times about it and he said, 'We're putting together a cast of unknowns- we want to follow the '77 New Hope cast because obviously Harrison Ford wasn't well known at that point, Mark Hamill wasn't and Carrie Fisher wasn't either."
Star Wars: Episode VII is set to hit theaters on December 18, 2015.
Despite the possibilities that a cast of newcomers will have the "force" with them, take a look at some other big names who have been in talks to pick up a lightsaber at some point.
