Star Wars Episode VII auditions held in UK, movie set for 2015 release

Thousands of hopeful "Star Wars" fans auditioned this weekend at an open casting call for "Star Wars: Episode Vll," at Twickenham stadium in London.

Casting directors are taking a trip to a number of British cities in search for fresh young faces for the JJ Abram's film. The directors already made a stop to Bristol earlier this month, they will also head to Manchester and Glasgow before the process is complete. Auditions were also held at Dublin's Croke Park this weekend and there have been a number of open casting calls in the US.

UK casting agent Kate Bone stated to the BBC, "We are doing this to find someone who might not have necessarily gone to drama school. They don't have to have acting experience - just the right look and then we can see if there's any talent there. We don't want to leave any stone unturned; we want to see what's out there. To find an unknown talent is very exciting."

Mstars recently reported that a Hillside college student, Joseph Craig had been cast in the upcoming blockbuster film. The school is located in Michigan and Craig attended one of the open casting calls for the J.J. Abrams film.

"Star Wars: Episode Vll " is set to be released in 2015, and is being filmed at Pinewood studios in London. Episode Vll is the first new film being made by Disney after the studio bought all rights to LucasFilm for $4 billion, last October.
