2015 has been chock-full of big movies, but the biggest has been saved for last. The Star Wars: The Force Awakens red carpet premiere is set to take place tonight in Los Angeles and you can watch the event in the player below beginning at 5:30 p.m. PT / 8:30 p.m. ET.
In addition, Verizon customers can submit questions for the cast and crew on Twitter using the hashtag #TheRedCarpetAwakens. Stars of the new film will answer select questions during the live broadcast.
Verizon will also provide livestream viewers with something extra: the opportunity to switch between four unique video streams, giving fans the ability to watch all the excitement however they choose. The four video streams include:
- A “director’s cut” angle that will display the fully produced show, inclusive of angles from all cameras
- One camera at the entrance to the red carpet, showing talent as they arrive and greet fans
- A fashion camera that will capture talent posing for photographers
- A camera positioned on a tower, providing a high-angle view of the stars as they make their way down the red carpet
Opening in theaters on December 18, 2015, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is set 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, and features a new generation of swashbuckling heroes and shadowy villains, as well as the return of fan-favorite smugglers, princesses, and Jedi.
