'Star Wars 7' News, Casting Spoilers [VIDEO]: Simon Pegg & Nick Frost Say No to Roles in 2015's 'Episode VII,' J.J. Abrams Won't Work w/ 'World's End' Stars
When it comes to casting rumors involving Star Wars: Episode VII, it's hard to differentiate possible "updates" from "speculation" because a ton of actors keep saying they'd be interested in roles. Luckily, there have also been actors that don't want an involvement in the film, too. In a surprising turn of events, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, huge Star Wars fans, have admitted that they do not want to be involved in the 2015 film.
"I don't want to be in Star Wars, I think it would spoil it," Pegg said. "When I saw Star Wars when I was a kid, I saw a bunch of people I'd never seen before with some lofty, very respectable older actors in senior roles," he continued. "I would hope J.J. doesn't stunt-cast the film. It would be great to get some new peeps in it, it would be amazing."
Pegg is a friend of director J.J. Abrams, which is evident with their work on the Star Trek movies.
Frost added: 'I'd like to sit back as a punter and see what's going to come from J.J.'s mind."
Pegg and Abrams sat down to talk about Star Wars earlier this year. Check out that conversation right here:
In other rumor news, 16-year-old actress Chloe Grace Moretz wants to be cast in Star Wars.
When asked if she had any interest in the project, she said, "I mean, obviously there's interest. It's 'Star Wars'!"
"I'd kill to be a part of that franchise, but I don't know," the 16-year-old added. "J.J., I'll give you my phone number. You can text me."
Filming for Episode VII was rumored to start this month, but we won't know for sure until the set photos start leaking onto the Internet. Plus we still don't know who has been cast!
