Simon Pegg Not Interested In Being In Star Wars. Runs Down Prequels AGAIN!

simon frikking pegg

Simon Pegg has revealed that he is not pursuing a role in JJ Abrams's Star Wars: Episode VII

"It's not one of my great wishes to be in Star Wars, I'd love to go to the cinema and just watch it."

Well that's good news. But he couldn't leave it there. In the interview with Industria magazine it also seems that Pegg, as usual, is taken every opportunity lately to express his dislike for the Star Wars prequels. We reported a few days ago that Pegg, in an interview with Total Film was expressing his distaste for the prequel movies, and here we are again a few days later.

"I'll always have a soft spot for George Lucas because he made the original films, but those prequels were dreadful and if he were making more Star Wars films, I'd be worried."

I get it! We all do. Shish! I mean I know the Prequels were not everyone's cup of tea and you have a right to dislike something but Pegg seems to go out of his way to keep reminding people of his distaste for them. Let it go Pegg. As RebelForce Radio keep saying. "Simon Frikking Pegg!"

I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA.  This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
