In both the UK and North America, hundreds of fans hopeful for a role in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars Episode VII were disappointed when they were stopped from auditioning at the recent casting calls because too many people turned up. However, BBC News have confirmed through Lucasfilm that a video application can be sent in through Cast It Talent. Producers are looking for a "street smart" girl in her late teens and a "smart, capable" man in his early 20s. According to the site, "Barbara Gamlen, a publicist for Lucasfilm, said 75 of those who auditioned on Saturday were called back to read a generic script in front of the Star Wars team. She added she expected a similar number to be called back from Sunday's crop of hopefuls." There's currently no word on how auditions in the US have been going. Were you one of the people who gave it a go or will you submit your audition online? Be sure to sound off with your thoughts below!

What's the point in auditioning? Seriously you would have better luck auditioning on the Backroom casting couch.

Hey guys who knows how to do this properly, because the scene involves some interactions between characters. So you just read lines and don't do anything?

@DrNomid yeah, it's basically like a table read, you sit in front of the camera while your "reading partner" stands behind the camera and reads it with you. You have to emote, act like you're in the setting, but you don't need to walk around and stuff.

@ Black & Yellow

Well at first I was sad then I realized we still have a better record than the Steelers!

In all seriousness, I am happy they lost and I hope they continue to lose. I know that sounds bad but Jerry needs something to slap him in the face to realize he is not a good GM.

How awesome is it for them to let the average joe audition? Somebody new is bound to get discovered and that's exciting.

The net is amazing! And so are the good ppl bringing us the next epic episode of Star Wars...

That is another problem with the Cowboys, Jerry knows now matter how good or bad the product is the fans will still eat it up and buy merchandise, ticket sales, and revenue from T.V.. Jerry does not care if the Cowboys win another SuperBowl all he cares is about money and his stupid art for his fairly new stadium!

I'm really pissed with that mother[frick]er called Justin Bieber.

I don't know if most of you know, but I'm from Brazil. I LIVE in Brazil.

And that faggot comes here like he is some type of God, mistreating teenagers who spent R$3.000 reais($1.000 thousand of dollars) like they are bitches.

Then he goes and SPRAYED GRAFFITI on the walls of a building WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION from the owner. But as the law here in my country is a total shit, where people praise criminals and corrupts, he went off without ANY problems.

Oh, well...

Yeah Canada is sorry for spawning him... and Celine Dion as well :)

That's because Sony built recently a factory here in Brazil. Currently, the PS3 price here is about $300 dollars(sigh).

So if they release the PS4 for, IDK, around $450 or $500 dollars, then people would buy the PS4(of course).

So they would be [frick]ed up. They keep saying that's the brazilian gorvenment that put the taxes high as [frick], but in reality Sony did this shit, so they won't lose money with the PS3 factory.

Oh, well...[2]

P.S.:Sorry guys for the bad words. Is that I'm reeeeeally mad about this whole stuff!!
