Hollywood set for ‘Star Wars’ premiere

Stormtroopers march on the red carpet at the world premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” at the TCL Chinese Theatre on Monday, Dec. 14, 2015, in Los Angeles.

The Florida-born writer has already had great success with the franchise, so coming back meant putting that reputation on the line. Abrams said he hopes to captivate the audience like he was when he saw the original “Star Wars”.

One fan, Lavonne Dominguez, wasn’t interested in simply buying a ticket online to see the movie in her local movie theater. The first installment in the Star Wars prequel trilogy ended up getting a 56% “Rotten” rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. “I am so excited about the movie that I can put up with just about anything for a week or so”, said Scott Allen, 51, a software technician in Los Angeles. “I think they were just seeing many, many girls because obviously, if they weren’t, then I would never have been seen”.

The request, which was made via social media, was made following co-ordinated terrorist attacks across Paris last month in which 130 people died.

What “The Force Awakens” benefits from, however, is interest that now spans multiple generations.

Gerald still remembers taking 11-year-old J.J.to see the first “Star Wars” movie in ’77. What you realize, by the way, in working on these movies is that even things that are canon, that are beloved and absolute to fans, are very much fluid and in flux.

According to Disney, the standalone film will focus on how Han Solo became a smuggler.

All the writing has been under the watchful eye of Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm and an executive producer on “The Force Awakens”. Until the premiere, Abrams has kept “The Force Awakens” under tight wraps and said he discovered fans appreciated not knowing a thing.

The fans have really been the ones focused around making sure that everybody and anybody who walks into this movie gets to be surprised. She says production will begin in January on episode eight, directed by Rian Johnson.

Verizon customers will have the opportunity to tweet questions to the Star Wars: The Force Awakens cast members during the premiere.

“We haven’t mapped out every single detail yet”.

Hollywood is preparing for one of the biggest movie premieres in its history when Star Wars: The Force Awakens is screened in three separate cinemas tonight, however fans in Somerset will have to wait until Thursday at the earliest to see the new film.

TGV Cinemas MovieClub members can also purchase the whole set (four plush keychains) together with one regular popcorn and soft drink for only RM80, while the set is priced at RM90 for non-members.

“I’m also the same guy that begged him not to go into entertainment”, Gerald Abrams said in a phone interview Friday.
