YEREVAN, JUNE 23, ARMENPRESS. Tom Cruise is reportedly in talks to make a cameo appearance in JJ Abrams' Star Wars: Epsiode VII film, reports “Armenpress”, referring to London Sun.

Star Wars: Episode VII has begun filming at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire and is due for release at Christmas in 2015.

Cruise and Abrams worked together on Mission: Impossible 5, which is also due to hit cinemas late next year.

The Sun reported that the pair met at a London hotel to discuss Cruise making an appearance in the star-studded film. The 51-year-old actor is close friends with the film's director J.J. Abrams - who helmed Mission: Impossible III - and the pair reportedly met over the weekend to discuss a role for the A-lister.

A source told The Sun newspaper: 'Tom has been in London for over a week and met up with J.J. and some other people from Star Wars at the weekend.

Filming has suffered a blow after Harrison Ford - the 71-year-old actor, who reprises his role as Han Solo, broke his left leg on the set and is not likely to be back at work for several months. Harrison's representative said in a statement: 'Harrison Ford's left leg was broken in an accident. His surgery was successful and he will begin rehab shortly. 

The plot of Episode VII has been kept a secret but it takes place 30 years after the end of Return Of The Jedi.
