Daniel Day-Lewis Gets Eaten by the ‘Star Wars VII’ Rumor Machine

Before it's all over, every notable actor working today will have been rumored as a possibility for Star Wars: Episode VII. This week, it's Daniel Day-Lewis' turn. Next week? Dabney Coleman and big-bootied adult-starlet Alexis Texas will be added to the mix. But for now, we'll stick with Lewis.

Latino Review, which is no stranger to inaccurate casting news, is claiming that Lewis was recently spotted having lunch with George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy, the current head of Lucasfilm. If the meeting even took place, it's entirely possible that the trio discussed something completely unrelated to Star Wars, like the long awaited Howard the Duck prequel, A Quack of the Clones.

I'm sorry. I'm so f*cking sorry.

At any rate, I won't hold my breath. But I do hope this rumor turns out to be true. If nothing else, I'm curious to see what it's like for a guy who is cast as a Jedi to employ method acting. Hopefully he'll spend his down time pissing off the crew by trying to lift equipment with his mind. (Source)
