                   Preview for Next 'Star Wars' Film Released

   by Reuters

   A trailer for the upcoming installment of the ``Star Wars'' film
   franchise was released on Friday.

   The film, which is called "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and is
   scheduled to be released in December 2015, stars Oscar-winner Lupita
   Nyong'o, Andy Serkis, Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac.

   "The Force Awakens" is the first of three "Star Wars" installments that
   Disney said it would make after it bought "Star Wars" production
   company LucasFilm for $4.05 billion in 2012.

   The film, in which original "Star Wars" actors Harrison Ford, Carrie
   Fisher and Mark Hamill will reprise their roles, will be set 30 years
   after 1983's "Episode VI: Return of the Jedi."

   "Star Trek" filmmaker J.J. Abrams will direct "The Force Awakens," the
   seventh film in the space epic series created by George Lucas.
