14 DAY TRIAL // This weekend will bring an amazing new development for fans of the “Star Wars” franchise, especially if they’ve been on the edge of their seat with anticipation for Disney’s reboot, the seventh film, officially called “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
The first teaser trailer for the film, which wrapped production in London a few weeks back and is directed by the super-secretive J.J. Abrams, who also put his magic touch on the final draft of the script, will premiere with “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.”
Don’t get too excited about this just yet: the theatrical release of the teaser is limited only to US theaters – and only to select locations from Regal Cinemas, AMC Theaters, and Cinemark. Such bummer, much disappointment.
While such a highly anticipated release means a leak will emerge online within hours of the first screening, its quality will leave a lot to be desired. So for all of us who are not in the US, in the handful of cities selected for this premiere, Disney has something else in mind: an iTunes release.
As you can see in the tweet below, the studio has already confirmed it, so brace yourselves for tomorrow because in between munching on Thanksgiving leftovers we’ll also be dissecting the first ever teaser trailer for “The Force Awakens.” So here’s to hoping it will be more than just a few seconds of black screen and dramatic / booming music.
The film stars the original 3 leading actors, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher, but also Anthony Daniels and Peter Mayhew, and newcomers Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, John Boyega, Lupita Nyong’o, and Adam Driver. It will be out in theaters in December 2015.
The Force is with you on #BlackFriday when #TheForceAwakens teaser hits @iTunesTrailers.
