Wookiee? 'Star Wars' Sequel Casting Call Suggests Hairy Biped
Wookies! From 'Revenge of the Sith'
British casting service Spotlight has reportedly put out feelers for
actors who fit the body type of Chewbacca. The film is unnamed in the
call, but we're all but certain it's for "Star Wars: Episode VII" as the
production date is listed as "early 2014" and the producers named
include Lucasfilm co-chair Kathleen Kennedy and "Episode VII" writer-director J.J. Abrams.
Not
a lot of actors will meet the physical requirements for role: "Male, 7
ft. to 7.3 ft. tall with a slim/thin build and upright posture. Not too
worked out or too 'thick set' especially in the shoulders. Broad facial
features would be a bonus."
Peter Mayhew – Chewbacca
Unless Disney,
Lucasfilm, and Bad Robot (J.J. Abrams's production company) are
secretly shooting a film about an NBA star in the UK, it looks like
Chewie — or some of his kind — will be returning for "Episode VII." And
yes, this is just one of many details about the upcoming film that
hasn't been revealed officially just yet.
The listing plays coy, saying the casting call is for an "Untitled Studio Feature" that will begin shooting in early 2014. But it has already been revealed
that "Episode VII" is being shot in England, and Disney, Lucasfilm, and
Bad Robot aren't known to have any other projects shooting in the UK at
that time.If you're over seven feet tall, not too bulky, and you're OK with the fact you're not going to get a medal like all your human (and droid) friends, get in touch with Spotlight and let them know you're available.
And let's all hope you and Han Solo have worked out your differences by now.
