Details are few on the plot of 1952, but it’s rumored to focus on a man who makes contact with extraterrestrial life and early word suggests that George Clooney could play the lead.
Star Wars: Episode VII, meanwhile, will move forward with a screenplay by Michael Arndt and a director expected to be named soon. The film is planned for a 2015 release and you can check back for more details as they become available.
