'Star Wars 7' Trailer: 'The Force Awakens' 88-Second Teaser Confirmed By Director JJ Abrams

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” director J.J. Abrams has confirmed the accidentally released news that the first trailer for the seventh installment in the franchise will debut at select Regal Cinemas during Thanksgiving Weekend. The news broke Monday after Regal Entertainment posted a list of theaters across various cities and a note saying that the first trailer for “Star Wars 7” would premiere before every movie from Nov. 28 – 30. However, the notice was playfully taken down soon after.

Now, Abrams has taken to his @Bad_Robot Twitter account to not only confirm the news, but add some new information. The former “Star Trek” director posted a note saying: “A tiny peek at what we’re working on – this Friday in select theaters. Hope you enjoy and have a most excellent Thanksgiving!”

With the news confirmed, Regal reposted the theater listings the same way they appeared during Monday's flub announcement. However, at the bottom of his note, Abrams teased fans with the trailer’s run time by writing “88 seconds” in the bottom left corner of the note.

“This Friday, the world premiere of the 88-second teaser of 'Star Wars Episode VII' will be revealed at select North American theatres,” Regal’s website now reads. “Be one of the first to experience the 88-second teaser of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' at the following Regal locations. The teaser will debut before all movies starting November 28 - November 30.”
