I agree-it would be best keeping the same actors, and everything for all the films. But I don't see how it'll happen. A seven-film committment is a lot, and I just don't see how they could keep everyone together.

What's the longest running movie series you can think of with the same actors? Star Trek had 6 or 7 with the same actors... the seventh being a transition between the original and nextgen. The Star Wars films, if you count the guy who plays Palpatine, would have six with the same actor...

It would be great if they could pull it off, and make each movie in the seven part series a good one, but it's hard to imagine it making it that far.
