Star Wars 7 Release Date and Updates: Star Wars 7 Movie Filming Almost in the Wraps; Warwick Davis to Join Other Original Actors in Upcoming Star Wars 7 Movie

Film producer Kathleen Kennedy has just recently revealed that the filming of upcoming movie Star Wars 7 will finally be finished in three weeks. In an interview with the Guardian, she shared that she was "thrilled" to go back to London for the film, sharing other bits of information about the movie such as how George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic special effects company will be responsible for the upcoming trilogy.

Interestingly enough, the crew has managed to keep mum about much of the Star Wars 7 plot and anything that could spoil the movie. Well, mostly, that is.

It was revealed last week that some actors from the original movies will be on board the Star Wars 7 cast, including Warwick Davis. Other notable originals who will be included are Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Kenny Baker, John Boyega, Peter Mayhew, Daisy Ridley, Domhnall Gleeson, Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong'o and a lot others.

It is not yet completely certain, however, how the original actors are supposed to figure in the movie sequel. It is unclear, for example, how Davis will reprise the role of Wicket which he played when he was only 12 years old. It is possible that Davis and possibly other original actors will play different roles altogether.

The Star Wars 7 release date is scheduled to be on 18 December 2015.
