Today, Latino Review is reporting that Sullivan Stapleton (Strike Back, the upcoming 300: Rise of an Empire) has read for a part in Episode VII. Their source is also telling them that New Mexico is still in play.
Meanwhile, Saoirse Ronan told Sky News that she has auditioned for Star Wars – but “so has everyone.” Latino Review first reported that she had read for a part two weeks ago.
I think that’s the first actor I’ve seen actually confirm that they have auditioned.
Also, Sullivan Stapleton must be keen, given that he’s trying to make Star Wars titles out of the films he works on … ;-)
