Star Wars actor Anthony Daniels has criticised Disney studio bosses over the secrecy surrounding the latest film in the sci-fi franchise.
Due to the intense interest in the seventh installment in the saga, Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, director JJ Abrams and bosses at the Disney studio have tightly controlled access to scripts and warned actors to keep plot details under wraps.
However, Daniels, who is reprising his role as C-3PO in the new movie, has branded the security measures "ludicrous" and revealed he received an official warning from studio bosses after giving away a castmember's name on Twitter.
"The secrecy has been beyond ludicrous," he told British newspaper The Guardian.
"For heaven's sake, it's a movie. When I got the script, it was typed in black on paper of the deepest red so you couldn't photocopy it. I got a hangover just reading it... I said that I'd met so-and-so. An actor who plays a... thing in the film. A character. Immediately I received a message from Disney: 'Remove the tweet! You're not allowed to say that!'
