Han - Solo Movie ** Spoilers ** — Page 78

I just do not get the infatuation with steelbooks. I’ve got one or two because that was the only (or cheapest) option when I bought a movie. And they’re fine. I mean, it does it’s job as a case and protects the disc. It looks… fine? I don’t particularly like it more or less than the look of a plastic case.

But to ask me to pay extra just for the steel book package? Not a chance. And the insane after market prices to which some of them skyrocket. It boggles my mind.

I mean, really. Honest question. What IS it about steelbooks that people love SOOOO much that they sell out in a day or rise dramatically in price when you can get the same exact disc in a regular case for a normal price?

I like that its metal, a bit sturdier than the flimsy cases they have now, and the exclusivity factor. Also most Steelbooks hold their value far better than the ordinary releases.

And AICN comment sections are as moronic as ever.

Indeed. I actually looked around to see if another site had flagged up that ‘poster redesign’ issue, but couldn’t find one. So I went with that particular article, seeing as it included lots of good comparison shots.

(interesting to see what was done with the TITAN A.E. promo art, by the way)

Even the super rare Japanese Laserdisc is like that.

A 2012 DVD reissue inexplicably reverted to the original art, on the disc anyway.

Apparently the swoop gang from the old Marvel comics (specifically the Eight for Aduba-3 storyline) has been somewhat re-canonized;

So glad to hear Swoop Bikes are canon

Some insider gossip on the production issues of Solo:

http://www.vulture.com/2018/03/solo-a-star-wars-story-actor-details-production-troubles.html

TL;DR: Lord and Miller were in over their heads, and the set was pandemonium. Howard stepped in and things got back on track.

Vulture, what great name for a gossip site!

Ron Howard on his twitter page…

‘Last bit of scoring and final sound mix all happening this week. Exciting. VFX finals looking great as is 3D conversion. Can’t wait to share.’

with a ‘60 days to go’ gif.

I’m glad Lord and Miller seem to be civil about this and accepted the exec producer credit without a fuss. It sounds like Ron Howard was the right man to take the project in hand.

If I was Ron, I’d tweet on April 1st that he’s left the project due to “Creative Differences” and handed the reins over to the capable Alan Smithee. 😛

I’m sure they got well paid for their work, and possibly a bit extra to make sure they never talk about what really happened on the set. 😛

Doesn’t getting a director’s credit boil down to what percentage of the film they actually shot that ends up in the finished film? (I think the DGA has rules about such things.) That’s how it went down for Superman II anyway.

Solo will be now in UK cinemas from Thursday 24th May (and not the 25th May as previously advertised)

Lord and Miller would have made Solo the Star Wars Holiday Special II. I’m glad they’re gone.

That unfortunately increases the window for idiots posting random spoilers where they shouldn’t before any of us in the states can see it. 😕

I shall ensure the spoilers I post before US fans see it are not random at all 😎

So I guess since this is the spoiler thread we can simply talk about it whenever it’s out?

I figured I’d ask in advance this time, since Solo, like TLJ, will be released in Norway/Scandinavia on May 23, a few days before most people here will have a chance to see it.

Then again, I guess there really isn’t that much to spoil for a Solo prequel film.

Absolutely mate - a list of release dates for various countries can be found here:-

Chewbacca love scene 😛

I still find it weird that a Star wars Movie came out a few months ago and now a Star wars film is going to come out in a few months also.
