Kevin Smith: Disney Recently Showed Footage from The Force Awakens to European Distributors!

Kevin Smith

Actor/Director Kevin Smith is at Comic Con right now and didn’t miss the chance to share again his experience visiting The Force Awakens set and the Millennium Falcon in particular. In an interview with Hero Complex, Smith also revealed that recently Disney showed new footage from TFA to European distributors, and that he is ready to bet $10 000 that Disney will show a new footage during their panel in Hall H later today…

 

First, if you missed Kevin Smith’s detailed description of his The Force Awakens set visit from last Comic Con, check it out HERE.

 

 

From latimes:

In our exclusive interview with Smith about Comic-Con, the director dismissed rumors that Disney would not show new “Star Wars” footage as “shenanigans.”

 

He then changed gears and got personal, revealing what it felt like to stand inside the Millennium Falcon. It’s a great, long “Star Wars” tale. Seriously, watch this, and try not to get choked up as well.

 

 

You can watch the full video HERE.

 

 

So obviously there is a new footage being shown around. I don’t know why, but many sites reported the “no new trailer” news from Entertainment Weekly as “no new footage will be shown at SDCC”. That’s not what EW said. They said there won’t be a new trailer or clips. This doesn’t mean there won’t be new footage at all. I agree with Kevin and I am ready to bet that we will see new footage from TFA.

 

We’re just 12 hours away from the panel and if the rumors we’ve been hearing are true, prepare to be amazed. We heard that the team will again stress on the practical side of the effects, and they will show us things from the creature shop. Also we’ve heard that they might show us how Daisy Ridley handles herself in a certain fight scene…

        I hope Comic Con dies. Info is very disappointing.

    It would be surprising if they didn’t show anything. Mostly because the two recently leaked frames would be easily explained if they were preparing/sharing a preview. It’s worse news for them and a more serious leak, otherwise.

      Those photos were described and had artist renderings back in April. So they aren’t from recent footage for SDCC.

    This better not be Con-exclusive footage!

      enough of the practical effects. We get it, they’re going back to puppets. Now how about something about the STORY?????

      I may be wrong, but a little bird told me once that story was everything in a movie, not the visuals.

        Agreed. But try telling that to the Mad Max Fury Road fans.

    IMO, SW can market itself. If there is a 3rd trailer, hopefully its kept to a minimum and doesn’t reveal too much of the plot.

      I agree, there won’t be a lack of hype so less is probably more in this case.

      Nobody wants much of the plot, but I still want to see another trailer and clips. If you don’t, don’t watch them. Those of us who want clips or trailers currently don’t have the option to watch them.

        I hate to break it to you and change your perception of the world…. but EVERYBODY wants to know about the story and plot.

          Well I don’t, so your statement is erroneous. It should read everyone except that one random guy on the internet.

    I’d love to be in the crowd and see Kevin Smith cry joyful tears as he watched the new footage. Then I’d say, “man up, little bitch!” 😀

    I have a feeling we will see an Official Theatrical Trailer. After all, we are five months out and Disney’s biggest blockbuster before this is going to be Ant-Man, which comes out this week! So yes, it makes perfect sense from a marketing standpoint!

    Kevin Smith looks like a complete tosser dressed like that.

      He almost always looks like that. It’s his style…oversized jerseys and a backwards cap. Granted it’s a little bit grade school, but to each his own, I guess.

      It…ah…it’s not the clothes. He’s just a giant jackass.

    If they show footage we proletariat won’t get to see it. CCSD locks that stuff down tight.
