New Solo: A Star Wars Story Trailer – Alden Ehrenreich explores an iconic character’s beginning

10th April 2018 By Tim Isaac

After an extremely muted response to the first trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story, there was a lot riding on this new promo for the film about the early days of the iconic Han Solo. This one certainly makes things look at lot more entertaining and suggests Alden Ehrenreich might be a better Harrison Ford replacement that the previous trailer did.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” an all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy. Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo befriends his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and meets the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes.

‘The film stars Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Joonas Suotamo, and Paul Bettany.’

‘Ron Howard directs “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” and Kathleen Kennedy, Allison Shearmur and Simon Emanuel are the producers. Lawrence Kasdan, Jason McGatlin, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller serve as executive producers. Jonathan Kasdan & Lawrence Kasdan wrote the screenplay. “Solo: A Star Wars Story” opens in UK cinemas 24th May.’ [Read more…]

Solo: A Star Wars Story Trailer – An iconic character gets younger in the form of Alden Ehrenreich

5th February 2018 By Tim Isaac

The planned Han Solo prequel has certainly had production issues, not least swapping directors partway through the shoot, with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller ejected, and Ron Howard brought in. However, issues during the making of Rogue One didn’t stop that being a good movie, so there’s still hope here. It is slightly difficult to get a proper feel for the film from this first trailer though.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” an all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy. Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his mighty future co-pilot Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes.’

The movie is due out in May. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

The First Han Solo Star Wars Story Cast Photo Arrives As Principal Photography Begins

21st February 2017 By Tim Isaac

In case anyone was wondering whether Alden Ehrenreich has the right look to be Han Solo, the first cast photo has arrived, which actually shows him to be a better ringer for a young Harrison Ford than you might expect. The pic has arrived to mark the start on principal photography on the currently untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story on February 20th at Pinewood Studios.

According to the press release, ‘The movie will explore the duo¹s adventures before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, including their early encounters with that other card-playing rogue from a galaxy far, far away, Lando Calrissian. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are directors co-piloting the movie, with a cast that includes Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, Thandie Newton, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, with Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca.

“Watching such inspired people from all over the world, with such unique voices, come together for the sole purpose of making art, is nothing short of miraculous,” Lord and Miller said. “We can’t think of anything funny to say, because we just feel really moved, and really lucky.”‘

The untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story is set for release in May, 2018.

Donald Glover & James Earl Jones Join Live-Action Lion King Remake

18th February 2017 By Tim Isaac

Disney is being remaking just about every animated movie it’s ever made as a live action project. So far it’s been far more successful than anyone expected, as even some that seemed like bad ideas, such as The Jungle Book, turned into a huge hit. The Lion King however is another proposition again, as it doesn’t have any humans in it at all, but with the stage version being a colossal success, it shows it certainly has potential in the live-action arena.

Now Disney is moving forward with the movie, with Jungle Book helmer Jon Favreau set to direct and the cast coming together. Favreau has now revealed that Donald Glover has come onboard to be Simba, while James Earl Jones will return to the Savannah, once more playing Mufasa.

So far the movie doesn’t have a release date, but with casting underway, it seems likely the movie will shoot this year, probably for release in 2019 – after all, it’s going to need an awful lot of special effects work, which will inevitably take some time. Take a look at Favreau’s tweets announcing the news below. [Read more…]

Donald Glover Will Be Lando Calrissian In Young Han Solo Movie

23rd October 2016 By Tim Isaac

donald-gloverThe first of the Star Wars side movies, Rogue One, hits in December, but Disney/Lucafilm is already planning the next, which will be based on the early days of Han Solo. Alden Ehrenreich is set to play the main role, and now it’s been officially announced that Community’s Donald Glover will be the young Lando Calrissian.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has previously described the film as being, “An origin story about Han Solo and Chewie.” However, Han also knew Lando when he was a young pilot, and it looks like the movie will also cover their relationship, although it’s now known exactly how the future Cloud City head will factor into the movie.

The film’s directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, tweeted, ‘We’re so lucky to have an artist as talented as Donald join us. These are big shoes to fill, and an even bigger cape, and this one fits him perfectly, which will save us money on alterations. Also, we’d like to publicly apologize to Donald for ruining Comic-Con for him forever.’

The filmmakers are also currently looking for the movie’s female lead and expect to cast someone in the next few weeks. The movie will shoot early next year for release May 2018.
