September 20th, 2013 by Marc 1 Comment

Latino Review are at it again when it comes to Star Wars: Episode VII rumours.

This time they’re reporting that David Oyelowo (top) and Michael B. Jordan (below) have both read for a part in the new JJ Abrams film.

In fact, according to the site, Jordan personally met the director himself.

No word on what roles they’ve been reading for though.

Oyelowo is best known for his role in The Butler while the latter actor appeared in Fruitvale Station.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
