"You go to the place, and they have a room with cameras and you sit there and read the script," Isaac told Yahoo Movies, after revealing that he wasn't sent a script to audition for the role. "They're incredibly protective, because nowadays, with however many hundreds of blogs and this and that, people are just ravenous for content. So because of that, there has to be such tight security around it. And it gets in the way of the process a bit, but it's understandable."
This secrecy has been tested this year, with plenty of "spoilers" leaking around the Internet. Well, according to Isaac, they're not real.
"I can't speak for the cast and crew, I can just speak for myself, but for me I thought, Don't you want to wait so you can get the real thing? I don't think these little leaks necessarily ruined watching the trailer," the acclaimed actor said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "And also, the [plot theories] that get that formulated based on these things - they couldn't be more far off-base."
Oscar went on to talk about how it was filming the only scene we've seen so far, thanks to the teaser trailer. Piloting an X-Wing must've been really fun!
"It was hard to believe that I was actually sitting in there and doing that," he explained. "And it's physical. You have to kind of get in touch with that child again that had a little X-Wing and would fly around his room making crazy sounds, you had to tap into that spirit again and that was a lot fun. There was a lot of practical effects. A lot of the stuff they actually made. There wasn't a lot of green screen."
