The next installment in the Star Wars saga isn’t hitting theaters until December 18, 2015, but rumor has it that a teaser trailer for the film will be released within the next month.
According to Badass Digest, the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer will premiere within the next four to five weeks. The site’s sources also revealed a description of the trailer:
It’ll be short. And when I say short, I mean one minute long. It’s going to have The Force Theme played on woodwinds, softly, over flashing images of the main leads, each fading to black. There’s no dialogue, just reveals of the characters. And then the music swells up into a full orchestral piece – perhaps what John Williams recorded this weekend? – and we hear a female voice, likely Daisy Ridley’s, saying “Wake up.”
And then the title card appears – Star Wars: The Force Awakens – and we see the Millennium Falcon, firing blasters, coming right at the camera.
It is unknown where the trailer will debut. Rumors state it will be shown before The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 this weekend, but that does not seem likely since The Hunger Games is a Lionsgate film. Other rumors state the first footage will air on ABC or premiere before Disney’s Into the Woods, which hits theaters December 25.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is directed by J.J. Abrams, stars John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, and Lupita Nyong’o.
