      From: darth_azrael@yahoo.com              J.J. Abrams wants you to donate $10 for the chance to appear       in Star Wars: Episode VII. Abrams, who is directing the       upcoming sci-fi sequel, appeared in a video recorded at the       movie's Abu Dhabi set today to help announce a new charity       campaign run by Disney, Lucasfilm, and his own production       company, Bad Robot. The initiative, called Star Wars: Force       for Change, will begin its charitable venture by asking       people to donate $10 or more to UNICEF for the opportunity       to play a role in the galaxy far far away.              Abrams explains the charity campaign in the midst of a       ramshackle market, as crew members, performers in costume,       and a new ostrich-like alien carrying a box of space-turkeys       saunter past. The randomly chosen winner of the grand prize       and one partner will be flown to Episode VII's Pinewood       Studios set as guests of J.J. Abrams. There, they'll be       "transformed" by costume and makeup teams, before being       given roles in the next Star Wars movie. It's unclear what       those roles will entail -- Episode VII's story is so       well-protected Bothan spies are yet to reach it -- but the       opportunity to put on a furry mask, hang around in the back       of a shot, inspire the invention of an alien race of       wolf-people or bobble-headed oddballs, and eventually have       books written about you is enticing. Abrams' early support       for the campaign also suggests the scenes featuring the       winners are unlikely to be left on the cutting-room floor in       the movie's final edit.              Full article:       http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/21/5737338/star-wars-episode-7-pa       ts-for-charity-donations-omaze              --       https://cex.io/r/0/DarthAzrael/0/       --       --> http://www.megalextoria.com/forum2 <--              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
