May the Marketing Forces be with you – ‘Star Wars’ latest movie entry ‘Rogue One’ gets a bells-and-whistles celebratory tease in London and some new footage to scrutinise…
There’s a little film called Rogue One: A Star Wars story coming out in December and we have high hopes for this little independent project – one that stars little known performers like Felicity Jones, Forest Whittaker, Ben Mendelsohn, Mads Mikkelsen and an up-and-coming martial artist named Donnie Yen. Very little has been said in the press about the project, but there’s a small gathering in London this weekend where a lucky few have been able to take a look and judge for themselves.
The awfully nice people at Lucasfilm, the small contractor behind Rogue One have put together a promo video in the hopes of raising the film’s profile and we feel we should support their efforts – after all, if it’s successful, perhaps we’ll get to find out what happens immediately after the film’s story and who knows where that could eventually lead…
There was supposed to be a further extended trailer shown on the American network ABC tonight – as part of a programme devoted to the franchise – but it failed to… as they say in a different sci-fi universe… ‘materialise‘ in any official form. We’ll add that to this post when it becomes legitimately available…
Until then, see what you think… the film opens 16th December…
