on June 22, 2017 at 11:28 amPosted In: Star Wars News
Via Starwars.com:
Lucasfilm is pleased to announce that Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard has been named director of the untitled Han Solo film.
“At Lucasfilm, we believe the highest goal of each film is to delight, carrying forward the spirit of the saga that George Lucas began forty years ago,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “With that in mind, we’re thrilled to announce that Ron Howard will step in to direct the untitled Han Solo film. We have a wonderful script, an incredible cast and crew, and the absolute commitment to make a great movie. Filming will resume the 10th of July.”
Howard has made some of the biggest hits and most critically-acclaimed movies of the modern era. Among his many films are Lucasfilm’s Willow, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind (winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director), The Da Vinci Code, Frost/Nixon, and Rush. He also narrated and produced the beloved comedy series Arrested Development, starred in George Lucas’ American Graffiti, and remains a TV icon for his roles in The Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days.
The untitled Han Solo film is slated for a May 25, 2018, release.

A MESSAGE FROM LUCASFILM REGARDING THE UNTITLED HAN SOLO FILM
The untitled Han Solo film will move forward with a directorial change.
“Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we’ve decided to part ways. A new director will be announced soon,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm.
“Unfortunately, our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren’t fans of the phrase ‘creative differences’ but for once this cliché is true. We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew,” stated Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
The untitled Han Solo film remains scheduled for a May 2018 release.

Last Jedi Director Shot an Extra Scene for Star Wars 9 Director
on June 19, 2017 at 5:00 pmPosted In: Star Wars News
Via Movieweb.com:
The Star Wars directors sure do have each other’s backs. As previously reported, Star Wars IX starts shooting in January 2018, with the studio announcing a May 24, 2019 release date. As director Colin Trevorrow continues to prep for the movie, he has also been promoting his new film The Book of Henry, which opened in limited release over the weekend. During a recent interview, the filmmaker was asked if he had any special requests for Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson as he was getting ready for Star Wars: Episode IX. As it turns out, Trevorrow did have one request for the Star Wars 8 filmmaker.
Colin Trevorrow appeared on the MTV Happy Sad Confused podcast while promoting The Book of Henry, where he was asked about a situation regarding his Star Wars director peers, J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson. It was previously noted that Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson had asked J.J. Abrams to make a minor change to The Force Awakens, hoping the director would swap BB-8 for R2-D2 when Rey (Daisy Ridley) journeys to Ahch-To to meet Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). When asked if Trevorrow had a similar request of Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, Colin had this to say.
“There was one little thing. It wasn’t an adjustment, it was just ‘Could you shoot this one extra thing while you’re in this place on this day?’ And he did, which was great. But, you know, it’s part of the collaborative process that exists, everyone is in communication. There’s such a genuine want to get this right from everybody, and I think that one of the misconceptions is that there’s some kind of great corporate overlord that is dictating this story to everybody, and that’s what it’s going to be because that’s going to sell the most toys. The reality of it is that it’s a small group of people, but it’s actually, you know, kind of large when you think about it, and none of them are corporate, all of them are creatives and all of them are genuinely, very sincerely, wanting to do the work of their lives in order to realize this.”
