The latest trailer for the latest Star Wars installment - Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been released and the force is very strong with this one. Director J.J. Abrams introduced the new teaser trailer at Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim this week and it reveals a lot more than the first teaser. Some old faces appear including Han Solo, Chewbacca and R2-D2 along with the destroyed mask of Darth Vader while Mark Hamill, reprising the role of Luke Skywalker does a voiceover.
Star Wars actor Anthony Daniels has criticised Disney studio bosses over the secrecy surrounding the latest film in the sci-fi franchise.
Due to the intense interest in the seventh installment in the saga, Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, director JJ Abrams and bosses at the Disney studiohave tightly controlled access to scripts and warned actors to keep plot details under wraps.
However, Daniels, who is reprising his role as C-3PO in the new movie, has branded the security measures "ludicrous" and revealed he received an official warning from studio bosses after giving away a castmember's name on Twitter.
"The secrecy has been beyond ludicrous," he told British newspaper The Guardian.
"For heaven's sake, it's a movie. When I got the script, it was typed in black on paper of the deepest red so you couldn't photocopy it. I got a hangover just reading it... I said that I'd met so-and-so. An actor who plays a... thing in the film. A character. Immediately I received a message from Disney: 'Remove the tweet! You're not allowed to say that!'
"Honestly. It's a kind of Kremlin attitude. Look, I know perfectly well not to tell you now what I'm giving you for a Christmas present because it would spoil the surprise. And these films are all about opening the box on Christmas Day... There was none of this paranoia (on the first movie) because it was a daft little film and no one cared."
* Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens is due for release in December.
