STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Gets An Earlier Release In The U.K. & France
It's not much earlier, but yes, according to the official Facebook page British, French (and presumably Irish) fans of the galaxy far, far away will indeed get to see J.J. Abrams' new Star Wars movie before those in the U.S. Find out exactly when after the jump...
Don't worry, if you live in the U.S. you're not going to have to wait too much longer than fans in the U.K. to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The movie's official Facebook page has posted the 100 days countdown vid below, confirming that the release is scheduled for December 17th in the United Kingdom - and France are luckier again, as they'll get to see it on the 16th. We're not sure why the decision was made to release it that bit earlier in those territories, but hey, it's only 24 hours. 24 agonizing Star Wars-less hours.
Starring original cast members Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker and franchise newcomers, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Lupita Nyong’o and Max von Sydow, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is set to be released on December 18th, 2015.
