I’ve got more than just a bad feeling about this…

‘Star Wars’: Han Solo Film Loses Directors

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are no longer directing the Han Solo Star Wars spin-off.

"Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we’ve decided to part ways. A new director will be announced soon,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm in a statement.

“Unfortunately, our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren’t fans of the phrase ‘creative differences’ but for once this cliché is true. We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew,” stated Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

Lord and Miller, the helmers of The LEGO Movie and 21 Jump Street and its sequel 22 Jump Street, signed on to direct the Star Wars stand-alone in July 2015. The film will star Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, while Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson and Donald Glover also star.

The film has been shooting in London since January. The release date of May 25, 2018, remains unchanged.

I’m not trying to rail against this film, I just think recasting the character in a window of 10 years before we see the character again sets a weird precedent. Are we all ok with a future film in which someone else plays Luke in between the OT and the ST?

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

A fun return to form! Where Stranger Tides was a lower budget small romp, Dead Men returns to the grander adventure that the franchise is known for. Though not without a few bumps along the way.

The characters and their repartee are fun. Depp was reliable as ever in his iconic role and newcomers Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario hold their own. Many of the series beloved characters return, though notably missing are Pintel and Ragetti. The bumbling crewmen were sorely missed as their generic replacements fell flat.

The action is fun but uneven at times. It aspires to reach the same heights as its predecessors but falls a bit short. A commendable effort all in all and a worthy addition to this seafaring saga.
