CRI听力:Two New Cast Members Added to Next 'Star Wars' Movie

Disney has announced that two new actors will be added to the cast of "Star Wars: Episode VII".

American actress Crystal Clarke and British actor Pip Andersen are the two new additions to the next tale in the epic space saga.

It has not been revealed what roles Clarke and Andersen will play in "Episode VII", but Disney did put out a casting-call for two characters, "Rachel" and "Thomas", back in November.

The notice called for a "beautiful and athletic" 17-to-18-year-old female to play "Rachel"; while the ideal "Thomas" was a "handsome, smart and athletic" 19-to-23-year-old male.

It's not out of the ordinary for relatively unknown talent to be called up for a "Star Wars" production. One of the current leads of "Episode VII", Daisy Ridley, currently has a sparse acting resume.

The announcement also contained an update regarding actor Harrison Ford, who is reportedly "doing well" after breaking a leg on set (that's literally, not figuratively). However, due to Ford's injury, production will be halted for two weeks in August, according to the statement.

"Star Wars: Episode VII" is expected to hit theaters on December 18 next year.
