While the rumour mill is in overdrive as to which actors will take up the lead roles in the eagerly anticipated Star Wars: Episode VII, it seems the villain of the piece is close to being confirmed, with actor Adam Driver all but set to sign up for the project. With a career predominantly spent in lower-budget, independent flicks – and a starring role on popular TV series Girls – this will be something of a departure for the talented performer.
