'Star Wars: Episode 7' Release Date, Cast & Trailer: Plot Hinted in Adam Driver & Gwendoline Christie Set Photos

New set photos have surfaced online that show actors on the set of "Star Wars: Episode VII." It is believed that newbie franchise cast, Adam Driver and Gwendoline Christie, are among the stars in the images. 

Comic Book Movie has shared set photos from Rick Lawrence's Facebook page (which has since been taken down) that give us an inside look at the top secret filming of "Star Wars Episode VII."

In the photos, an actor, believed to be "Girls" star, Driver, dons an orange Rebel uniform while "Game of Thrones" actress Christie is said to be the woman wearing a long sleeve, neutral colored costume as a member of the Alliance, reported CBM.

Not much is known about the long-awaited seventh film but it has been confirmed that the movie's storyline will take place 30 years since the Battle of Endor and takes off from the events of "Return of the Jedi," noted Cinema Blend. This will give the film a much more realistic feel as the original trilogy cast has aged considerably since the release of Episode VI in 1983.

A new report by via Mirror UK indicates that the newest James Bond actor, Daniel Craig, may be doing a secret cameo for the seventh film. The Brit, who is believed to be a fan of the franchise allegedly approached director J.J. Abrams for a small role due to his desire to be part of a series he loves.

"The Skyfall star is a big fan of the science fiction saga, and he has reportedly filmed a mystery role in the upcoming seventh installment of the franchise - but his face will be kept hidden," wrote the website. 

"Daniel asked for some sort of secret cameo role - and was happy to have his name left off the posters," said an insider to The Sun. "Fans will love trying to work out which covered up character is him."

There is no word on when the trailer for the film will drop but in terms of the movie release, excited fans will have to wait for more than a year as the movie isn't going to hit cinemas until December 18th, 2015.
