STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Adds WOMAN IN BLACK 2 Actress
Another day, another new Star Wars: The Force Awakens cast member brought to our attention. This time it's Leanne Best, who was most recently seen as the titular spook in the actually quite good Woman In Black: Angel Of Death. Who will she play? It's speculation time...
Star Wars: The Force Awakens officially wrapped production last November, but we still seem to be hearing about new actors being outed as cast members on a fairly regular basis. The latest is British actress Leanne Best, who was named in a recent PR-email (via Total Geeks). "Brit actor Leanne Best [is] available for interview,” it reads. “Leanne is currently starring as the woman in black in ‘The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death’ showing in theatres worldwide. With a number of film projects on the horizon, 2015 will also see Leanne in J.J. Abrams’ highly anticipated ‘Star Wars VII’.” No details on her role are given of course, but it's most likely a pretty minor one. Best is now most familiar as the ghost from The Woman In Black 2: Angel Of Death, but she made her name appearing in British TV shows such as Casualty, Wire In The Blood, Doctors and more recently Ripper Street.
