Los Angeles — Star Wars: Episode VII director JJ Abrams is giving fans a shot at a cameo in the film that's set to be released next year.
Disney, Lucasfilm and Bad Robot have teamed up for a campaign to raise funds for UNICEF. Abrams announced the initiative in a video from the set of the movie in Abu Dhabi.
For every $10 donation at Omaze.com/StarWars, contributors will become eligible to appear in the film when it shoots in London. The campaign began just after midnight on Wednesday and runs until 23:59 on 18 July.
The cast of Episode VII was revealed in April, and Adam Driver is among the newbies. Disney will release the film in December 2015.
