The Hollywood Reporter has assembled a partial picture of how J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy cast the main actors for Star Wars Episode VII without alerting the press.
Here are few tidbits from their story:
- 21-year-old actress Daisy Ridley was one of the first main cast members that Abrams picked, but that was only in February.
- Adam Driver, who was cast in late February, was also in the running for a role in the new Batman/Superman film.
- Kathleen Kennedy encouraged Abrams to consider veteran motion-capture actor Andy Serkis (Gollum in Lord of the Rings) after working with him on The Adventures of Tintin.
