Star Wars: The Force Awakens World Premiere to be Held in Los Angeles on December 14th!

112814_StarWars_TheForceAwakens4The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Disney and Lucasfilm will unveil Star Wars: The Force Awakens at a massive world premiere in Los Angeles on Dec. 14! Read on for more details…

 

From THR:

 

From there, the highly-anticipated reboot will jump into lightspeed and head for a premiere in London, followed by other events around the world.

 

The Los Angeles premiere is sure to be one of the hottest tickets in recent Hollywood history, with executives, agents and journalists jockeying for a coveted invite. In addition, Disney is attempting to keep the film’s secrets under wraps, so there will be minimal screenings for press and cast and crew in advance of the premiere. While members of the cast of the J.J. Abrams-helmed film have appeared Comic-Con and Star Wars Celebration over the past year, the world premiere also is likely to be the first time that most or all of the cast will be seen together.

 

 

We are almost there folks. Stay on target!

    It’s not a reboot, Hollywood Reporter, it’s a sequel

      So this is what Mace would look like had he lived in exile on Tatooine instead of Ben. That is a movie I would love to watch.

    Damn… four days between premiere and opening day for the story to circulate across the whole flippin’ Internet before the rest of us get to see it. After all of the secrecy, is this REALLY the best idea?

      I guess we’ll have to stay off the internet for a couple of days. Bunker up with potato chips, jerky and beer!

        With the premiere and some countries getting it before the US, I think that staying off the internet after the 14th is the only way to go. Sorry, SW7N.

          Agreed, unfortunately. Probably going to stop doing anything online for about a week before the movie comes out. I like trailers, and even reading some rumors. Knowing the whole plot, even in broad strokes, seems awful.

          Also, I want to be the one who decides whether I like the movie or not. I’ve found I’m personally too susceptible to “believing” reviews of movies/books before I read them myself, and letting them shape my own experience.

          Seems so bizarre to me that I actually laughed at the Jar-Jar shenanigans in E1 when it first came out, before I was told I needed to hate him :-p

      Lol, normally press screenings are weeks in advance, 4 days are ok. And if you don’t want to get spoiled stay of certain sites and social media. For me it’s ok, screening on 14th december is on the 15th in the Netherlands. And at midnight 15th->16th they will screen it 🙂 So staying away from the internet for a day/max two will make it worth the wait,

        Normally, film productions don’t go to the lengths that the TFA production has gone to keep the story a secret. Hell, they aren’t even publishing the print edition of the novelization until January.

        If this were any other film, I don’t think anyone would bat an eye at the premiere being 4 days early. But I think that the crazy amount of effort they’ve put into keeping everything under wraps until Opening Day makes this a legitimate question to raise.

      YEah because all of the Expanded Universe thing, is a Reboot of the “old canon” Now Legends.

        What? The old EU was never canon.

          It was for some people, if you remember there was this level canon shit a while ago where Canon G was the top “Canon George”, then Canon S, Canon B, Canon C and all that crap. And If you see my comment close you can se this two little friends —-> “” in the words “old canon”.

          In some way the Expanded Universe WAS a canon, we all knew it, Yes I Know, now all the people say this thing “Dude the old EU was never canon, George Lucas always saw the old EU like some alternative Universe” YEAH we all know, but come on! There was a lot of effort put in there IT WAS A CANON, yes it was it was all we have after the movies came to and end.

          Now the Reboot, is not “doing the same story with different cast”, dude DC had have like 4 reboots and Superman is always Clark Kent,but the events always have light or hard changes is not a matter of “cast” is a matter of timeline history of events. Now EU WAS and HAD a very unique (and some times pretty messy) timeline of canon events, and this time line doesn’t exist anymore THATS a reboot.

          A reboot is not exclusive for movie franchies, actually es pretty comon in comics (cof* DC cof*) and other media like videogames (Tomb Raider, Devil May Cry, Battlefront,Wolfstein, Castlevania, even Mortal Kombat had one)

          Yeah is not a “Total Reboot” but is in some part of the canon is a Reboot. Because there was a prior canon (even if GL didnt consider that way, a LOT of Star Wars media think different, and come on even he make things for the EU like Shadows Of The Empire).

          Liek it or not, EU WAS a canon divided in a lot of parts, now we have an unified canon, and i really like it, but HAHA we just can’t ignore that it was a history behind it, and we can just ignore that fact.

        Mmanu, a reboot is the second (or third if it’s spiderman) revised telling of story that has already been told.

    when I read reboot I feel like it might actually become one… what if this is a sort of “what happenned if luke was in alderaan and leia on tatooine”?

      Then the main characters would be Luke and Leia not Rey and Finn. This is a sequel all day.

    Have to stay off the internet from 14th till I see it. I can imagine all the trolls posting on threads or comment boards across the internet spoiling the movie. People can be dicks.

      With the sad state of “journalism”, it’s not just the trolls I’m worried about. A good percent of major online media is going to *spoil* things with they think are cleverly vague headlines and articles — requiring a 3-4yo intellect to decipher.

        I don’t think major outlets can spoil the movie because an embargo should be in place until Dec 18 and then they can go crazy. If I’m not mistaken but I get where you’re coming from…

          I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Disney Corporation is not as forgiving as I am!

          But that won’t stop some idiot journalist telling all his or her friends about the movie, and then one of them posting anonymously somewhere else… pretty hard to track.

      i dont even care what anyone says. this is star wars and the critics can go suck it. if they dont respect this saga for what it is they are not true movie fans. im gonna see this and love every second of it all the to the very end of the credits. the wait for it tho has made very worn out. it feels like the energy and excitement is draining if we dont get a new trailer soon. they need to keep up the fans energy and show it

    whats going to be harder than avoiding the news of the movie is avoiding the movie itselt. itll leak a day or two on some crappy hand held recording. as much as that isnt the way i want to see it 48-72 hours with it right there will be hard to avoid. i think i can do it, but i know itll be tough. honestly i bet i just watch the scroll and the 1st few mins. i wont be able to hold off completely.

    This is definitely a good thing. A sign of confidence, that they’re releasing the film 4 days ahead of general release.

    (But why the heck is THR calling this a reboot?
    @THR: It’s a SEQUEL!)

      Exactly!! It isn’t a reboot! A reboot would be a remake of ANH with new actors playing Han, Luke and Leia! This is a continuation of the saga; 7, 8 and 9 are sequels! Rant over

    So anyhoo.. aboot rumours around ticket sales, today I contacted IMAX Melbourne (Australia), as I am a member, and asked if they could confirm if the tickets will be on sale at or around 19th October. The response was:

    “Thanks for your email. Unfortunately I’m not able to be much help – we haven’t made any decisions regarding the ticket sales for Star Wars yet because we are waiting to hear from the distributor on details about the on sale date and any conditions that may apply. We would like to offer advance sales to members but are not able to confirm this yet – I’d recommend keeping an eye on our Facebook page for the latest Star Wars news.”

    So sounds to me that they don’t even know WTF is going on. Disney, it would seem, are keeping their cards close until they must absolutely show their hand.

    Paece.
