Rumor: Oscar Isaac Getting Bigger Role In Episode VII After Ford's Injury?
The New York Post has an odd report this morning, simultaneously claiming and denying that Oscar Isaac's role in Episode VII is being retooled after the incident in which Harrison Ford broke his ankle.
One source told the Post, "They are now beefing up Oscar's role to be bigger with Harrison injured." But another source told the paper that "[t]he basic story line will not change that much" and that no characters would receive dramatically bigger roles.
These two sources' comments appear to be at odds, and the Post isn't exactly a staid journalistic enterprise, so take this with two grains of salt.
Lucasfilm did not respond to our request for comment.
UPDATE: We missed this in the original story, but Disney representatives have told the Post, "This is categorically not true." So that's that.
