The Hollywood trade press is abuzz with speculation about the Oscar-winning actor's possibly being approached to star in the seventh installment of the sci-fi saga.
According to Latino-review.com, Daniel Day-Lewis was seen having lunch with George Lucas and with Kathleen Kennedy, the producer of the forthcoming film. Other than the identity of its participants, there is no indication that the meeting was a discussion of "Star Wars VII."
The actor who brought Lincoln to the screen in Steven Spielberg's biopic is the latest in a long list of celebrities who have supposedly been approached to join "Star Wars VII." The Hollywood trade press has also cited Ryan Gosling, Zac Efron, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alex Pettyfer, Michael B. Jordan, Liam McIntyre and David Oyelowo as possible participants in the film, although none of the rumors have been confirmed. The 19-year-old actress Saoirse Ronan, however, did reveal that she had auditioned.
Few details have been revealed regarding the plot of "Star Wars: Episode VII." The film will be set 30 years after "The Return of the Jedi" (1983) and will focus on the destinies of Luke and Leia Skywalker's descendants. Director J.J. Abrams will begin shooting the film, the first in a new trilogy, at the end of this year. The film is slated for release in December 2015.
