That wasn't what I expected but alrighty, then.

Sounds like it's going to be a pretty bad movie though

quote:

The recent story about the firing of directors Phil Lord & Christopher Miller shocked the internet as fans started to move away from cautious optimism toward the Star Wars: Han Solo movie to outright panic. We reached out to a couple of sources to get a better idea about what’s happened, and the picture is a little clearer – while it’s certainly not prettier, there is a bit of good news tucked away in all of this.

[...]

For anyone who’s worried that the actor playing a young Han Solo isn’t taking his role seriously, rest easy – Ehrenreich one of the most important people involved with the project who voiced his concerns about the project at a crucial moment in the movie’s development, which means that he’s absolutely committed to bringing his A-game to this role. Ehrenreich’s performance has been described to us as being an interesting new take on Han that stands out on its own while still honoring the essentials of the character, and that it’s a worthy interpretation of the iconic scoundrel.



And this is why Ehrenreich had concerns with the production as filming progressed. He started to worry that Lord & Miller’s screwball comedy angle was starting to interfere with what the character of Han Solo is really about – even if this was a younger, more reckless take on the character than the one we met in that Cantina on Tatooine. One source described it as being oddly comparable to Jim Carrey’s performance in Ace Ventura at times. Ehrenreich let his concerns be known to one of the producers, who then told Kennedy about it, which led to her decision to look over the existing footage (which is also a normal part of the production process, but this is where things get interesting).

Han was (probably) not actually a very good smuggler. So, a slapsttick movie of him bumbling his way across the galaxy would be great.

Yeah, it's pretty hard for me to believe that a corporate property like Star Wars, which probably has more industry riding on the success of any particular movie than any other franchise, doesn't have producers examining the dailies on the regular or that Kathleen Kennedy needed the star of the film to speak up and tell her that maybe things weren't going to plan.

you're assuming the producers aren't idiots or taken in by whatever narrative miller and lord were peddling. having multiple producers looking at this might not help at all, depending on how much in the way of groupthink exchanges was going on. corporate hierarchies are not perfect informational channels.

it says in the article that the dailies were fine and it wasn't until they started editing a workprint that they realized it wasn't in line with kasden's script

A Lando prequel is cool

A Han Solo prequel is lame

But the Han Solo trilogy of novels was great he gets drugged by Boba Fett and becomes best friends with Jabba.

But no, seriously, they're gonna reshoot it into an absolutely joyless slog about people with no personality running from one explosion to the next, as different-enough-to-make-a-new-toy vehicles fly above and jog in the background and we'll all wish there was a talking butt.

My great-grandfather started Larsen Pork Products with little more than three pigs and a killing hammer. Today, I'm proud to say, we kill more pigs than pig hepatitis.
The Jump Street movies and The Lego Movie were all extremely fun to watch, so I assume Disney wanted none of that poo poo in their Han Solo movie. Star Wars is serious business.
