“Inside Llewyn Davis” star Oscar Isaac has opened up about his experiences working on the “Star Wars: Episode VII” set.
Isaac, whose role in the production remains a mystery, spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the hype surrounding the film.
Isaac admitted he understands why people have been “leaking” set photos of the “Star Wars” set, but would rather fans wait until it comes out to experience the nostalgia.
“People want to know all those special things and when those iconic moments are going to happen, but if all that gets revealed beforehand I feel like it robs people of that moment when they’re sitting there watching it for the first time,” Isaac told EW.
Isaac isn’t sure how landing a role in “Star Wars: Episode VII” will change his career, but is excited to be working with original trilogy cast members Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill.
The actor has been able to spend time with the actor both on and off set, adding they are hilarious bunch to work with.
“They’re such funny people. Carrie is hilarious and doing such cool work. Harrison is back. He went on hiatus for a little while, but he’s 150 percent back. It’s pretty amazing to see him bounce back. He looks incredible,” Isaac said.
“Everyone’s having a really good time. J.J. sets that tone. There’s a lot of enthusiasm and it’s being done with a lot of heart. There’s nothing cynical about the way we’re doing this.
“Even the in way he’s shooting it—he’s shooting on film and actually building the sets, so you’ve got hundreds of Stormtroopers or whatever, and hundreds of extras and all the ships. You actually see it. It’s all real. Everyone can interact with the world.”
“Star Wars: Episode VII” is slated to hit theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.
