No news on what the trailer will show, although many of our sources have are telling us that the trailer will be about a minute long and consist of quick shots of the film’s main characters. Filming wrapped on the film just a few weeks ago with post-production just beginning, so fans shouldn’t expect too much. It will be, however, the first concrete look at the film which is still a year away.

If you don’t want a break in your Black Friday shopping and don’t watch to watch a movie, we expect that the trailer will be posted online sometime afterwards.

UPDATE: J.J. Abrams has confirmed the 88 second trailer for this Friday!

UPDATE 2: The trailer will be made available online via iTunes Trailers the same day!
