There are several conflicting reports regarding the upcoming release of the “Star Wars: Force Awakens” trailer.
The rumor mill began with Badass Digest releasing a description of the trailer according to an insider close to the production.
“If my sources are correct (and this is a big IF. These sources have been mighty reliable in the past, and if they're wrong I believe they're wrong honestly, i.e. they're not bulls****ing me), it'll be short,” according to Badass Digest “And when I say short, I mean one minute long. It's going to have The Force Theme played on woodwinds, softly, over flashing images of the main leads, each fading to black.
“There's no dialogue, just reveals of the characters. And then the music swells up into a full orchestral piece - perhaps what John Williams recorded this weekend? - and we hear a female voice, likely Daisy Ridley's, saying ‘Wake up.’ And then the title card appears - Star Wars: The Force Awakens - and we see the Millennium Falcon, firing blasters, coming right at the camera.”
Since the release of the description, multiple reports are claiming the trailer will premiere during “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1” or “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.”
However, SlashFilm now claims to have debunked the trailer release rumors as an insider told them Disney has “bigger plans” for the first teaser than a movie debut. Unfortunately, fans might have to wait until 2015 for the first look at “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
“Well, we’ve heard from a very credible source that, with 100 percent certainty, the Star Wars 7 trailer won’t debut with Peter Jackson’s latest The Hobbit film,” SlashFilm reports.
“There’s a very strong likelihood it will play with that film but according to the source, Disney has “bigger plans” for the trailer debut than a simple attachment. What does that mean? When will it happen? We honestly don’t know.”
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is slated to hit theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.
