The former James Bond Roger Moore is the latest star to have paid a visit to the Pinewood set of J J Abrams' forthcoming Star Wars: Episode VII, joining the likes of Simon Pegg, Kevin Smith and current James Bond Daniel Craig, who is also filming the next Bond movie at Pinewood.
Moore, who played the popular British movie spy 007 for much of the 70s and 80s, later appeared on Graham Norton’s UK radio show, and he had some interesting titbits for fans. Moore told Norton: “They were filming something with a lot of mountains and snow,” leading fans to speculate that the movie will be revisiting the ice planet Hoth, especially given that filming has also reportedly already taken place in Iceland.
Moore added that he couldn’t divulge any more info as he has been “signed to secrecy,” though he did admit that Abrams hadn’t made him physically sign anything. Like all good secret agents though, it seems the secret is safe with 007.
