25-year-old Jesse Plemons is reportedly in contention for a lead role in J.J. Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII" at Lucasfilm & Disney.

Plemons has already taped an audition that was well-received, so much so he's coming to Los Angeles next week for a second audition and a scheduled meeting with Abrams. Several sources indicate he's a serious contender for this key part.

Plemons got his start playing Paul Walker's younger brother in "Varsity Blues" and starred in the role of Landy Clarke in the TV series version of "Friday Night Lights". He also had roles in "Battleship" and "The Master".

However, Plemons is best known for his role as Todd, the meth cook hired to work with Walter White in AMC's "Breaking Bad". Plemons starred throughout both parts of the show's fifth season.

You know what's sad - I almost wish JJ Abrams would go back and remake Episodes 1-3.  They were such a disaster, and a travesty to be put in the Star Wars franchise with the original Episodes of 4-6.  But I know that's not going to happen.  As long as JJ can bring back the original magic that existed in the original Star Wars Episodes, it will help remove the bitter taste left by the Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith.

oh common, Jar Jar Binks was a classic.... :rofl:

'Star Wars: Episode VII' will take place 30 years after 'Return of the Jedi'

 

A new Star Wars film is getting closer by the day, and Lucasfilm and Disney have just announced some new information on the status of the production. Episode VII ? co-written and directed by J.J. Abrams ? is set to begin shooting this May at Pinewood Studios in London. For the first time, however, the team is giving an indication of what fans can expect to see when the film hits theaters in 2015. According to today's release, it will take place 30 years after Return of the Jedi, which capped off the original Star Wars trilogy, and "will star a trio of new young leads along with some very familiar faces."

 

The latter reference is no doubt a nod to what has been rumored for months: that Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill could return to the franchise to reprise their roles as Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Luke Skywalker. Jedi came out in 1983, just over 30 years ago, which would bring the ages of the older actors and their characters right into alignment. As for that new trio of leads, casting rumors have been running rampant, with Adam Driver (Girls) recently named as a likely candidate to play the villain. None of the casting information has been confirmed just yet, but with May the 4th ? unofficially known as "Star Wars day" ? and San Diego Comic-Con coming up, we wouldn't be surprised to see some very big announcements made before the end of summer.

ugh. lets not do that, don't put numbers in the logo it's stupid, and it's not needed and it doesn't fit with how it's been done for the last 6 damn movies. 

So, since I don't read any of the SW books etc, who are the new main characters going to be/suppose to be for 7?

 

None from the books.

 

Disney decided to more or less throw out EU(yay) and separate that as a separate thing from the movies. 

 

So nothing that happened in EU happened here. That's not saying the movies won't reproduce some of the EU stories in a bigger or lesser regard, but the overall universe and chain of events are wiped.

That makes sense, just wondering what the fans think/expect at this point.  I haven't been keeping up much.

hopefully this is just some tease crap and not something they'll keep for the final movie. It's logo need to tie in with the 6 previous one, not to mention the next two(and probably more to follow), and you're going to have to be damn creative to work in an 8 or 9 in that logo like that, so it'd just be stupid. 

 

Not to mention the fact they're working on several tv series as well.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
