Solo: A Star Wars Story

[Kobeon]

It should have been this guy, hands down. Looks, acts, and talks like Harrison Ford.

[Connor Harrison]

But I bet he can't act to the standard Disney want - and it seems it's just a guy doing a Harrison Ford impression, which will come across a little...meh...in a character who is just "mimicking" the actor before him.

And seems we have a front runner for Lando:

He actually acted as a young Harrison Ford in a movie called Age of Adaline alongside Harrison Ford himself. He pulled it off to the tee, I'd say.

Alden Ehrenreich.... I will boycott this movie if this kid gets the role... he doesn't scream Han Solo.

 

[Connor Harrison]

[member="Arumi Zy"] Well, boycott away because he's got the role!

 

[True To Caesar]

So whose directing this shindig?

I know it's just wishful thinking, but I'd love Tarantino to do it.

 

[Connor Harrison]

[member="True To Caesar"] Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

Take a look at their history here...

[Arumi Zy]

Okay, not a great cast to me so far.

WHERE ARE MY SMUGGLERS!?

 

[Connor Harrison]

Kathleen Kennedy hints at the tone of the Solo film...

“This moves closer to a heist or western type feel. We’ve talked about (Frederic) Remington and those primary colors that are used in his paintings defining the look and feel of the film."

[Taheera Sollo]

Han Solo was already 'young' in the originals, so it'll be interesting to see how young they go with this one.

But I love expanding the universe and I love me some Han Solo, so I'm all in.

 

[Connor Harrison]

Woody Harrelson in talks to play Han Solo's mentor...

[Kira Vaal]

I still don't know how I feel about this movie.
I feel they could have done so many different stories without touching the main cast.

 

[Catherine Soja]

[member="Kira Vaal"] it's a cyinical move, everybody loves the main caste so they jsut assume it'll be more easy to draw fans with those charatcers. Hollywood likes Formula's and if it thinks it has one that fits into their midnset they will go for it. bets example courtsy of Moviebob if they see Johnny depp wearing a unny hat in his last 4 movies that did well then why not do it again!? Their metricso nly truely work in their own world not designed to make sense in our own.

 

[Connor Harrison]

[member="Kira Vaal"] [member="Catherine Soja"] It's like a spin-off movie, but not totally brave enough to be a genuine spin-off movie. Still keeping it in the canon film timeline with characters we know.

Doing a Thrawn sort of movie after ROTJ; now that would be a brave spin-off for me. Anything OUT of the timeline of films or between the 30 year gap between VI and VII.
