Jay 46,476 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 And Trank's replacement is the directing team of Christopher Miller and Phil Lord - the directors of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, The LEGO Movie, 21 Jump Street, and 22 Jump Street And it's a Han Solo movie, with a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Jon Kasdan! http://www.starwars.com/news/christopher-miller-and-phil-lord-to-helm-han-solo-anthology-film
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,463 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 That doesn't inspire confidence!
Romão 2,473 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I think the project is a bad idea to start with, but that's one hell of a team, in my view
Romão 2,473 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I love Kasdan's writing and Phil Lord and Chris Miller churned some of the best and funniest mainstream comedies in the last few years. They present at least a better prospect than Josh Trank
Jay 46,476 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 Both Jump Streets and The LEGO Movie are all well-directed films.Lord and Miller are also writing the Spider-man reboot for Sony, incidentally
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,463 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I mentioned this on FB earlier.The Force Awakens will be the last time that the release of a Star Wars film is really a bit of an event.Disney will be churning them out from then on, like the MCU films.Even the Prequels, as bad as they are had a bit of pomp and circumstance attached to their release.

Romão 2,473 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I agree with that sentiment, actually, Steef. I just hope these spin offs are somehow given less importance than the episodic movies
mrbellamy 8,262 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Both Jump Streets and The LEGO Movie are all well-directed films.And surprisingly good movies made from terrible ideas. So they've got that going for them.
Not Mr. Big 5,011 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 That actually sounds like a really great team! Those two make really energetic and fun films. Though I do hope they get a better composer than Mark Mothersbaugh for this. He's not properly equipped to do justice to the Star Wars universe musically. Especially since this might be the first time Han gets his own theme.
Max 154 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I'm not sure how I feel about seeing another actor play a young Han Solo, but as with all things Star Wars, I'm excited. Now if only they could hire Giacchino over Mothersbaugh...Should this be split from the original Josh Trank/Simon Kinberg 2018 spinoff thread? This film replaced that film, but that film will still be made one day.
Jay 46,476 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 You're right. Originally, I did do it as a separate thread, then decided to merge it into the Trank spinoff thread. But then I read more carefully and saw that this is a separate project from the one that Josh Trank recently left, so separate thread it is. I renamed the Trank thread with a 2020 date, since that's when I assume it will come out now.
Not Mr. Big 5,011 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I'm probably holding on to a lost hope but wouldn't a Lord & Miller John Williams score be really cool?
Jay 46,476 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 I could see them asking John Williams. It might depend on what Spielberg is doing around that time, and what Episode 8 and Episode 9's schedules are like.
Not Mr. Big 5,011 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I'd much rather see him do this than yet another Spielberg historical drama.
nightscape94 968 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I don't like this continual deconstruction of the existing Star Wars universe characters. I don't need to see Han Solo's backstory, I don't need to know what made him a pirate. I don't need all of the mysteries uncloaked, I don't need all my questions answered.For god's sake, spread out into the great unknown.
mstrox 7,351 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 The two things that I absolutely wouldn't want to see in a "Young Han Solo" movie are bound to happen - an encounter with Boba Fett and an introduction between Han and Chewie.This is the first yawner for me of the new-guard Lucasfilm. With that said, I would be ecstatic to be pleasantly surprised.
Jay 46,476 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 Han Solo's spinoff film will let Disney keep the original Star Wars trilogy alive
Bespin Copilot 10,853 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 A Han Solo spinoff could be fun, at least, it's more interresting to me than Rogue One.But a spinoff about the origins of the Sith (and without Boba Fett) would be far more interresting. Not Mr. Big 1
Bespin Copilot 10,853 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Darth Bane Begins!We need a Sith Trilogy. The first episode dedicated to Naga Sadow, the second to Bane, and the third to Plagueis.
mrbellamy 8,262 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 So is this going to be Anthony Ingruber's chance to show what he's really made of?
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,463 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Didn't they cast Aaron Paul? I read it somewhere?"Yo bitch! I shoot first!"
mrbellamy 8,262 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Apparently it's a rumor based on the fact that Star Wars started following him on Twitter the day after this was announced, and they only follow SW people: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-07-08/why-starwars-following-aaron-paul-on-twitter-is-actually-a-bigger-deal-than-you-think

A24 5,176 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 God, the folks at Disney are really exploiting their 'purchase' to the max, aren't they?! There once was a time when such excessive 'squeezing' could've done more harm than good. Does the world really need to know about Luke before he met Kenobi? Or Han before he got hired for his fast ship?
crumbs 16,069 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 I can't wait for Star Wars Anthology: Dawn of Jira (2032)"She thought her bones were aching from early onset arthritis, but what she discovered next would change the galaxy forever." rpvee and Scarpia 2

Sharkissimo 1,978 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 I do hope they get a better composer than Mark Mothersbaugh for this.

crocodile 9,769 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Marvin Hamlisch would have been perfect for this film!Karol

There once was a time when such excessive 'squeezing' could've done more harm than good. Does the world really need to know about Luke before he met Kenobi? Or Han before he got hired for his fast ship?Yes. We need to know everything. EVERYTHING!Han Goes To School, Han Goes To The Beach, When Han Met Chewie, When Han Met Lando, When Han Got The Falcon, When Han Got His Jacket...Today's society is all about information. We need to know everything about everything, about each person. If we don't know something about you, then it means you've got something to hide.The same applies to fictional characters. We need to know everything about them, from the moment they were born to the moment they died. If we don't know something, then it's a plot hole!The sad thing is that you're telling the truth.
Quintus 6,560 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 I can't wait for Star Wars Anthology: Dawn of Jira (2032)"She thought her bones were aching from early onset arthritis, but what she discovered next would change the galaxy forever."There's a storm coming Annie will be the new I've got a bad feeling about this.

I don't need all of the mysteries uncloaked, I don't need all my questions answered.For god's sake, spread out into the great unknown.I couldn't agree more!I think that anything Star Wars related (except for the original unaltered trilogy), is a bad idea, and it's only being done for money, since cinema doesn't go very well financially these last few years..
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,463 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Cinema is making more money then ever actually!Didnt Furious 7 take in 1.5 billion? Jurassic World took a huge wad of cash!
filmmusic 3,287 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Cinema is making more money then ever actually!Didnt Furious 7 take in 1.5 billion? Jurassic World took a huge wad of cash!Of course! This confirms what I said. These are no new material, they are sequels on material that is known to be lucrative!And that's why we see so many sequels, prequels, spin-offs, re-boots, comic-book movies etc.Because original material doesn't have a profit.So, they're doing all these Star wars movies and such, because otherwise the studios will go bankrupt!I should have said" original cinema doesn't go very well financially"
A24 5,176 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Cinema is making more money then ever actually!Didnt Furious 7 take in 1.5 billion? Jurassic World took a huge wad of cash!Thanks to new mass markets like China and India.

Jay 46,476 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 Han will be late teens / early twenties in this moviehttp://comicbook.com/2015/08/13/han-solos-age-range-in-star-wars-anthology-movie-revealed/
Jay 46,476 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 Disney has auditioned more than 2,500 actors for its young Han Solo movie
Luke Skywalker 2,387 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 That would make it easier for him to snatch Indy's role later...But he does not pass as an late teenager...
Bilbo 4,294 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Pratt is too old for this Han. They should give him the Indy reboot though.
BloodBoal 8,727 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 They should give him every movie with a wisecracker kind of character. Just because we need to see him in everything!
Not Mr. Big 5,011 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 At least he's better than Nathan Fillion. I hate that guy. mstrox 1
Indianagirl 299 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I really wish they wouldn't do this. Will Tasker 1
Brónach 1,331 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I don't find this idea interesting. But I like more or less the idea for Rogue One. Bilbo 1
