This week a new report from the Hillside Collegian, the university newspaper for Hillside College, reported that student Joseph Craig had been cast in Star Wars Episode VII. The school is located in Michigan and Craig attended one of the open casting calls for the J.J. Abrams film.

"They didn't tell me too much about my role, and the script won't be released until the spring. It's all pretty hush-hush," he told the news source. This article has since been deleted, but thanks to the Internet we can report on this casting news.

What kind of character do you think this student will play?

Meanwhile, the audition dialogue that Craig and others might have used during these open calls has been posted online. Check out what prospective actors have been reading at these auditions:

THOMAS: Rachel, thanks for coming to get me.

 

RACHEL: Family has to stick together, right?

 

She starts to rise. He grabs her hand, dead serious.

 

THOMAS: Listen, if I don't make it -

 

RACHEL: Sssshh.

 

THOMAS: But if I don't...

 

Before he can finish, she drops down next to him and looks him dead in the eye.

 

RACHEL: You're not going to die. I forbid it. Okay?

THOMAS: Okay.

This seems like a pretty rough and intimate scene, right? It looks like we should expect some family aspects in the upcoming film.

Oscar-winning production designer Rick Carter recently shared some other hints for the movie.

"We're kind of both production designing the movie as a team to help give J.J. the best of what his generation and the new generation can offer with Darren Gilford and also myself as a guide that takes us back to not so long, long ago, but to the '70′s where I was around and making movies that old-fashioned way," he said. "Whenever we want to touch that level, it relates to something that's not just being made up as though it's new. It's being rediscovered."
