Who gets top billing?


I'm thinking they're gonna pull a Brando/ Superman and give Carrie Fisher billing over Daisy Ridley.

Me.

My guess is Hamill gets top billing, with Fisher getting the "and CARRIE FISHER as General Organa" credit at the end.

Top?

I'd say:


Mark Hamill

Carrie Fisher

Adam Driver

Daisy Ridley

John Boyega


and go from there.

It keeps Adam's place at the top of the new cast intact, which he had in Episode VII

and at the end I would hope to see:



In loving memory of Carrie Fisher.

Yes, but Daisy has arguably surpassed Adam in popularity since the release of VII.

reply

In all due respect, in terms of story, I don't consider an actor's or actress's popularity to be of primary importance.

reply

But Hollywood does. That's why Harrison Ford's name was first in Episode VII, even though it wasn't his story. Or why Nicholson's name was before Keaton in Batman. Or Brando in Superman, etc. etc.

I suppose we wil just have to wait and see what they do. 😀

Thats what im thiking its gonna be.


Lose the Game!!!!!!!

Mark Hamill will be first

Harrison had a big role in VII. Him being in top billing made sense and being an original character coming back for a big role makes another plus of VII. Honestly Daisy may be more popular with press in Hollywood. That's because Adam Driver is incredibly private with his life and Doesn't like social networking. Adam respectively and evidently has a bigger acting work resume then Daisy too. Whoever believes what goes on outside their career is more important to get them top billing in a movie is just pure horse per-toot.

reply

Adam was already billed before Daisy, order will stay the same with Mark First

reply

It'll be the same for The Force Awakens MINUS Harrison Ford.

So Mark, Carrie, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley ......... ect
But hang on ... they may change the order of billing around this time for EP VIII (8) now I think of it because the same players are back again minus Ford but there is the new actors of Laura Dern, Bendicto Del Toro and Kelly Marie Tran to be considered too so umm figure they may shake up the roster and order of billing?



Nothing is as it seems, nothing is just one thing and nothing is ever just over there;

reply

Hamill, Fisher, Driver, Ridely, Boyega, Isaac, then new people.

Billing is guaranteed in contracts, it is very unlikely to change.

Carrie Fisher already has billing over Daisy Ridley.
