Episode VII Cast Party Honoring Carrie Fisher’s Birthday.
With recent news of Star Wars: Episode VII soon to wrap we’ve learned that there was a special cast party celebrating Carrie Fisher’s fifty-eight birthday! Read more after the hyperspace jump.
Last week, during the opening of a new Industrial Light and Magic studio in London, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy revealed that the highly watched Episode VII production was soon to wrap in a short three weeks time. With that in mind, and with various reports of key actors wrapping their parts, we learn via entertainmentwise.com that many of the cast were in London Monday giving Carrie Fisher a birthday bash.
Among those photographed leaving Zuma in London were Harrison Ford. Note that Ford has his hair parted in the middle as he does for “Han Solo,” aside from his traditional side part, which is only interesting as he was supposed to have wrapped his role already as Viral Hide reported via The Daily Mail. Perhaps he stayed on for the party OR perhaps he hasn’t wrapped at all? It seems that since he was the one who had to miss the time filming that he would be the last of the major actors to wrap his part. Just speculation though.
Those photographed included JJ Abrams, as well as Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. Adrien Brody, he of King Kong and Son of Sam fame, was also seen exiting the party, although he was never mentioned in association with the Episode VII production. Before anyone runs around scouring the net for info on who he’s playing, the Entertainmentwise suggests that it is “Harry Houdini” since Adrien has been working with JJ’s dad, Gerald, on the TV mini-series.
Speaking about Daisy Ridley, Deadline just reported that she has signed with CAA and the plan is “for her character to carry through the second and third films that will be directed by Looper helmer Rian Johnson”.
Remember that she first signed with UTA two months ago.
Agency signing pursuits are often helped if they rep the director and have cause to be around, and Abrams is a CAA client. Ridley also dropped her UK rep Jonathan Arun, but continues to be repped by attorney Shelby Weiser of Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
Also Disney’s Chief Alan Horn was among the guests.
Those NOT photographed leaving the party include Mark Hamill, Oscar Isaac, and Gwendoline Christie. This suggests that those NOT in London still filming have already departed on to other projects or just home for rest.
FYI Ridley is still listed:

Harrison looks great! Looks just like an old weathered Han!
Carrie looks like Edward Scissorhands
Yeah apart from the fact she doesn’t at all.. Ruuuude
Time for JJ to buy some new boots?
At first sight i thought were stormtrooper boots 😉
Why? Because they’re scuffed up? Westerners are so spoiled.
Yeah, I mean God forbid we “spoiled Westerners” go through the process of pulliing stuff out of the dirt with our bare hands and fashion the mass production & distribution of high quality goods to have the unmitigated GALL to actually want a *GASP* fresh pair of non-scuffed boots. Silly “Westerners” …. And just remember, it’s those “spoiled Westerners” who made it possible for you to be reading this on an electronic device IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Just have to point out that Harrisons hair has DEFINITELY been cut. It was longer for Han Solo. So this picture does in fact prove he’s done filming
Now how about some Episode VII news, Alan Horn? Oh wait, we’re not Marvel fans, that’s why you’re not showering us with goodies. I remember.
Uhh, I’m a Marvel fan.
If you know of a better, more frequently updated VII blog than right here/right now, then, by all means, grace them with your presence.
But until such time, SHUT YOUR BANTHA POOP HOLE.
Bantha Fodder hole?
I believe that’s “Banth Pudu.”
Carrie looks lovely. Can’t wait to see her princess-ed up
That photo with Harrison and Alan has me worried. Harrison’s shoe laces are untied. He might break his legs again if he falls and if there are any re-shoots it could all be in jeopardy.
anyways most teasers for sw came aprox. 6 months before release…of the films
I’d say, if Leia was maturing into some far out inscrutable greater force powered mystic galactic emperess figurehead in a sequel trilogy, well could there be anyone much more prime perfect than Carrie Fisher for such a role!
I’m glad she’s back n all but holy shit, it’s hard to believe she was once smokin hot ass. But again, I wouldn’t want anyone else as Leia!
Her daughter is playing her younger-self in flash back story line about the sith inquisitors tie in line with episodes 1-6. This is where we are getting Darth Vader in episode 7, and perhaps Palpy too.
Ummm.
Pappy? You mean Sheev, right?
Ford really looks surprisingly good. But those photos are usually not fair. Being drowned by lighting of camera flashes. Usually makes anyone look like hell.
I despise anyone using flashes on their camera. Every phone got flashes on auto. As if you couldnt simply augment the natural light with technical marvels. No you still need thos awfuls flashes.
I just think if a motiv needs a flash of light, its not worth the picture.
That ain’t no ‘Mos Eisley Cantina’.. maybe the music sucked. I don’t like it.. my friend doesn’t like it…
I used to come to this site to see the comments, feedback and insights of fans. Unfortunately, it appears that there is no moderator and it’s just become a sandbox of degenerate trolls.
So, with that, I’m out of here. There are other places to check out news on the new flick and far less annoying ones.
And, as for these raging wars of words between the OT fans and the PT fans… get over it! They’re movies! Don’t be so defensive if someone doesn’t like a movie that you happen to enjoy. You didn’t make them… and judging by the amount of time you spend trolling this site, you haven’t done much worthwhile with your lives anyways, yet alone make a film.
don’t take things so seriously, sccept peoples differences, overlook them, its how we are supposed to get along. tollerance. people are so on edge these days, a product of their environment. now if you were being harmed in some way, then you should indeed take offence, but come on people having a laugh now and again makes you upset? also, the word troll is used far too much, and often out of context. go on, someone call me a troll (oh this is too easy)
Re: “So, with that, I’m out of here.”
CYA!!!!!!! Maybe someone will notice
oh my! Carrie xxx your looking fab gal,
Happy Birthday! Yes I know, its belated although, here in new zealand, it was your birthday even before it was for you lol Now Carrie, Leia! are you going to surprise us in episode seven?

I’m sorry, how does Carrie look “fab” in any way? She’s augmented the years of hard living with plastic surgery and Botox. I mean…my goodness…look at her lips!
I do think it’s odd we have heard nothing about her role. I think it’s going to be incredibly small…especially because her voice sounds so scratchy now.
Oh and Darth Outtahere…you realize theresca forum now called The Cantina, right. You can always try your opinions there…or perhaps the Internet isnt for you.
Oh really dude lol I guess if your not a kiwi hahaha explains the lack of humour xx
Dude, I am not a kiwi.
Strangest insult I’ve gotten in a while.
funny! it was’nt an insult and im the kiwi lol a nick name for a new zealander. Oh really dude lol I guess if your not a kiwi hahaha explains the lack of humour xx
and darthouterhere, I know exactly what your saying, I’m 50 and reading how people react to and treat one another is tiresome,
so I appreciate what you are saying, if I may suggest and without offence, that views and how people feel, should be shared in a positive way and not in the way that has annoyed you the most suffice to say, I am self employed, four kids, solo dad, I do it all and come on here too, I am a star wars fan and can see through the murky clouds, and totally agree with you, star wars is star wars is star wars, get over it, best of luck dude

Any negativity online is going to be illegal before long.
Harrison Ford could be finished shooting, but still be in hair and makeup for poster shoots, publicity shots, etc.
I genuinely cannot understand anyone who has a problem with the way Carrie looks. Am I the only one that can see she looks great?!
I just think the drugs and the plastic surgery has done a number on her.
Daisy is smoking! Where’s a steel bikini when you need one.
no wonder he busted his leg. his shoelaces are untied.
I need fresh news…
I’m bored…
Yeah, I mean it’s been A WHOLE 24 HOURS since a new news piece. Just relax, it’ll come. As soon as something substantive is out there, it’ll show up here. This is the #1 VII blog, so what’re you worried about, Mac? Tell ya what, while you wait, why don’tcha pick up the phone order in a pizza burger with a side of onion rings? That’ll getcha there!
iPadCary,
a birthday party and bad photos from a stormtrooper, or firetrooper, or whatever?
Nah.
I need another kind of fresh news.
Tomorrow i will eat pizza…
Quick. Somebody… *yawn* lie to me. I jes wanna be entertained. -_-
OK, I’ll lie to ya: you’re entertaining.
Awww. Hey, wait a minute… ^_-
That user Shawshank is an utter prick.
Empress Leia to have doppelgangers (good ones) via the developing nexus conflation of Ep.8 to eventually frequency fade in/outs into realm of star spirit new galactic order Ep. 9
ADRIEN BRODY = EZRA BRIDGER.
And he’s on the bad side.
Of course the only VII cast member photo of that night that wasn’t used for this post is the one of Boyega.
