Carrie Fisher expects to begin filming her role in Star Wars: Episode VII this March or April

Can you believe that we still have not gotten any official confirmation on the casting of Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, or Mark Hamill for STAR WARS: EPISODE VII? It seems that with filming set to commence this year that we would have heard something about the beloved cast of the original trilogy reprising their roles in J.J. Abrams mega-sequel. But, Disney seems to be holding all of their cards close and may be waiting to announce the entire cast at the same time. But, that doesn’t mean the iconic stars won’t accidentally spill the beans.

In a recent interview with TV Guide, Carrie Fisher let slip that she expects to start filming her part as Princess Leia this March or April alongside Ford and Hamill. She also said

“I’d like to wear my old [cinnamon buns] hairstyle again — but with white hair,” she says. “I think that would be funny.”

Now Fisher has been known to run her mouth and is pretty damn funny, but I doubt that she would have made this comment if it weren’t true. Fisher is a veteran of movies both in front and behind the camera, so I don’t think this is being taken out of context. We have known that STAR WARS: EPISODE VII was going to shoot soon, this is just icing on the cake.

STAR WARS: EPISODE VII hits theaters on December 18, 2015.
