Star Wars: The Force Awakens marketing is ramping up, and we’ve been hearing a lot of news about the movie that seems destined to be the biggest hit of the year. Check out the new footage seen in tonight’s exciting new TV spot.
A new TV spot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens aired on ABC tonight, with a few new scenes, including one with Rey and Han Solo. Watch the official TV spot below:
In one of the best shots of the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ TV spot, we see Han Solo hand Rey a blaster and tell her, “You might need this.” It’s certainly a highlight for the short teaser for the upcoming Star Wars film.
Another great shot from the new TV spot shows Han Solo, Leia, and C-3PO seen below in a meeting of sorts. This is the first time we’ve seen the trio together since the original films, and it is an exciting reminder that a lot of great scenes will be included in the upcoming Star Wars sequel.
Despite the fact we’re five weeks away from the highly anticipated Star Wars movie, we’re hearing that the film’s tracking to have a massive opening weekend. The Force Awakens is currently tracking to open with $225 million, which would put it nearly $20 million ahead of Jurassic World’s $208 million when it hit theaters earlier this year.
Marvel’s The Avengers opening weekend in 2012 came in at $207 million, which means Star Wars: The Force Awakens looks to be an enormous hit, and these reports are considered modest.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ release date is set for December 18, 2015. Early screenings are available at 7 p.m. on December 17, and we expect to see loads of promotion for the upcoming film, as Star Wars: The Force Awakens approaches its worldwide release.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens cast includes new Star Wars members John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong’o, Gwendoline Christie, Christina Chong, Crystal Clarke, and Pip Andersen. Actors returning to the franchise include Harrison Ford, Fisher, Hamill, Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker.
