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

Fantastic! Can’t wait.
Kevin Smith… Colin Trevorrow….. Obi Wan spin-off being a fake….. how much heartburn can we take before we get some comic con news?????
I hope Comic Con dies. Info is very disappointing.
It’s going to be be a long twelve hours.
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.
What time is that in CEST?

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.
Ah, try for this is what a hockey fan dresses like…so neck face and chest all day SiR dude.
I hope he didn’t spend half the time talking about his sex life. = p ( He normally does )
Sorry, I’m getting mixed messages. Is the panel going to be live streamed or not?
Maybe.
StarWars.com will be doing a live blog of the event.
so what does that mean? just text or would photos come through as well?
No live stream video.
Man i’d LOVE to see stuff from the creature shop, Masks, puppets, I love it all. = P
P.s I hope they show what Supreme Leader Snoke looks like.
If they show footage we proletariat won’t get to see it. CCSD locks that stuff down tight.
Unless it’s Star Wars we’re talking about.
We will see a bad leaked video of it.
Like what happened with Batman V Superman? Maybe with Star Wars it will be different.
So who gets the ten grand when he’s wrong?
The IRS or Donald Trump’s “Hair”.
Take your pick.
Force for Change/Unicef!!
JJ Abrams
I’m excited!
Strap on your bubble wrap seatbelt, kids. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
We’ll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We’ll lose ’em.
Otoh Gungah, bubblewrap city
This will be a day long remembered…
I wanna watch it yet I don’t want to spoil….but I do so I might but won’t then maybe will..argghhh.
Trying to remain spoiler free is an ass.
Spoil the Spoilers, oh no.
Spoil the Spoilers, oh no.
I refuse to believe any white man that dresses like that.
Sad thing is, he looks a lot like me =/
Damn, I love Kevin Smith! I hope he’s right about tonight. Already downloaded the AWESOME app and am checking reports/”leaks” in between some serious gaming today! What a grand day to be a geek or nerd!
I found this great fan tribute video on Youtube. I think it sums up the life of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader brilliantly.
Check it while your waiting for the big event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VdcMWWh3s0
The music on that one ruins it.
I would love to see a montage made from all seven movies. anyone seen anything like that? maybe after today we may have one or two new images. i’m still thinking it’s CRAWL time, baby……
We’re supposed to believe Hayden becomes Vader .. lol
The sad part is, we will probably not see anything except a bad cell phone copy.
A bad cellphone copy of Star Wars?

lol bravo
Too excited. I’m in the UK, what time can I witness this glory?
Uk time would be great.
1 am Saturday
Cheers
We are going to announce more Lego Droid Tales and Detours. Maybe talk to you about the practical of visual FX. Maybe reveal a still of Han and Chewie inside the falcon with a caption “Chewie, we’re home.
Patience man, who know what surprises held at comic con.
Man all these anti realism pt’ers are going to change their tune 7 hours from now. I expect nothing but great things from tonight’s presentation!
Cant wait!!
LOL he looks like Flava Flav in that pic! Just give him some clocks!
Why does this guy dress like a clown?
Hey Kev, where’s the $10 000 Eurodistributor Footage????
