Ron Howard is a lock to reshoot at least 51% of the movie.

There is no way Disney is going to release HAN SOLO: THE STORY YOU ALREADY KNOW directed by Alan Smithee.

Provided none of the cast has other commitments past what was supposed to be the end of shooting just three(?) weeks away before this happened. A major reshoot is going to screw up the release date either way.

The DGA retired Mr. Smithee many years ago. Not sure what the alias is these days.

They probably have that written into their contracts. These are long-term franchise deals, not just simple movie contracts, I’d imagine.

For a one-off movie?

Is this a one-off movie like Rogue One?

So…Han reshot first?

Rogue One was limited by the premise, and it was intended to test the waters. A young Han Solo movie pretty much begs for sequels. I haven’t seen (or looked for, frankly) any sequel speculation, but keeping in mind the franchise mentality I’d say it’s a safe bet.

I know I wouldn’t sign the guy for this part without a few clauses addressing sequels, reshoots and whatnot.

Going from that to Ron Howard is quite a reversal. But Ron is a fantastic director. I haven’t seen all of his films, but that ones I have I have loved. The film is in good hands.

But what’s he done recently?

He did Inferno with Tom Hanks last year. (Another adaptation of a book by that Da Vinci Code guy.) It didn’t light the box office on fire though.

I see what you did there.

I really liked Rush, which he did a few years back. For all its flaws, it was efficient and fun. Clearly a product (the operative word for the entirety of his body of work, basically) tailor-made for a mass-audience, but it had some heart to it.

LOL! I didn’t even realize I’d done that.

But your brain did.

Like I referenced yesterday (before he was officially the replacement), Howard was asked by Lucas to direct Episode I. He told George the same thing everyone else did, “you should direct it yourself.”

I wonder how he feels about taking up a similar role all these years later.

Ah, so TPM is everyone else’s fault then.

I’ve never seen the Jump Street movies. But The Lego Movie is fantastic, and Cloudy is an acceptable kids movie. As I already laughed, that statement about Lord & Miller’s track record is just silly.

^This.

Ron Howard would have been a great choice back when the filming began. I dont blame Lord/Miller. The decision makers need a better strategy.

Maybe if you’re going to get ‘edgy’ director types, make sure you are hiring them for the right films. Dont get them to do established characters or you might end up getting an unintended reboot of the character.

21 Jump Street was a terrible, terrible movie. One of the worst I’ve ever seen.

Good movies.

All those Dan Brown adaptations are lame. Rush was okay though.

I had to turn off The Lego Movie after six or seven minutes because it was giving me a headache. That’s the sum of my experience with Lord and Miller.

Does a mission statement count as a like?
