May the 4th has been and gone and if like me you are reeling in disappointment at the lack of news following the recent cast announcement then this rumour might perk you up a little. Aint It Cool News are reporting that their source within the Star Wars camp – the same person who told them about location shooting in Abu Dhabi – has leaked the title for the upcoming sequel…
Star Wars: Episode VII – The Ancient Fear.
It’s worth noting that this news has had no validation as yet from any other source so please take it with a pinch of salt. The Ancient Fear is currently being referred to as a ‘working title’ so even if it is genuine it may not be the final subtitle. Apparently the title “refers to Max Von Sydow’s villain…” Whether there is any truth to this or not it certainly sounds like an eligible title and harks back to A New Hope.
What are your thoughts?
Star Wars: Episode VII is set for release on December 18th 2015, with returning stars Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Kenny Baker (R2-D2) and Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) joined by Adam Driver (Girls), Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis), Andy Serkis (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), Domhnall Gleeson (Dredd), John Boyega (Attack the Block), Daisy Ridley (Silent Witness), and Max von Sydow (The Exorcist).
