No New ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Footage Or Trailer Planned For D23 Expo
Disney’s own convention, D23, begins late this week in Anaheim, CA, and we know there will be someStar Warspresence at the show, but what about new material fromThe Force Awakensat D23? In fact, don’t expect a newStar Wars: The Force Awakenstrailer, or even any new footage from the latestStar Warsepisode, to come out of the Expo. But what about other non-Force Awakenspossibilities?
EWreports from a conversation with JJ Abrams, who said,
We’d known that a trailer is coming this fall, but after the greatbehind the scenes montageshown in July at Comic Con, there had been some hope that D23 might feature a similar reel with a new look at the film. But Lucasfilm and Disney know they have something special withThe Force Awakens, and that they can show relatively little from the film and still maintain a great public presence.
After all, it just takes a single new glimpse from the movie to send people spinning, as we saw with theSouth Korean TV spotthat debuted online this week with a single new shot of film footage.
That said, there are other elements to reveal, and otherStar Warsmovies to tease.Gareth Edwards’Star Wars AnthologyfilmRogue Oneis shooting now. The first look at that movie wasalready revealedvia a teaser at Star Wars Celebration earlier this year, and D23 could reprise the presentation of that teaser, and even potentially release it online.
Then there are other possible surprises for D23, asForce Awakenscast members could show up, a poster could be revealed, we could hear some ofJohn Williams' new music, or even get word on further casting for the series. Many of those elements seem like long shots (there’s really no reason forEpisode VIIIcasting to be revealed yet, for example) but there’s still a chance for some surprise.
