STAR WARS EPISODE VII To Be Called THE ANCIENT FEAR?
A New Hope. An Ancient Fear. Get it? A bit on the nose perhaps, but rumour has it that the latter is indeed the working title for J.J. Abrams' Star Wars Episode VII, and it supposedly refers to the villain who will be played by legendary actor Max Von Sydow. Read on for details!
According to AICN, they believe that they've learned the title of Star Wars Episode VII. The same source reportedly informed them that the J.J. Abrams helmed follow-up to Return of the Jedi would shoot in Abu Dhabi, and then later claimed that the title of the movie will be The Ancient Fear. After running it past "lots of people in JJ's camp - including JJ" and getting no response (which the site believe in itself is suspicious), a separate source contacted them and gave the exact same title, stating that, "It refers to Max Von Sydow's villain who makes Pazuzu look like a pussy!" It could just be a production title similar to how The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was dubbed "London's Calling" during shooting, or we could all be watching Star Wars Episode VII: The Ancient Fear in 2015. On the other hand, it could be total BS. What do you guys think? Share your thoughts below!
