The HAN SOLO Movie Has Found A New Director But It Sounds Like Chaos Behind The Scenes
The Han Solo movie has found a new director despite the fact that 3/4 of the movie has already been shot and all the signs are pointing to them having their hands full as they try to avert disaster!
Phil Lord and Chris Miller were recently fired from the Han Solo movie after creative differences in regards to the movie's style and tone caused big problems for Disney and Lucasfilm, but The Hollywood Reporter reveals today that Ron Howard has indeed been chosen to take over the helm of the spinoff.
The trade has some additional details on what happened behind the scenes, noting that Lord and Miller had been shooting for four and a half months (roughly three-quarters of principal photography) and that it's now going to be up to Howard to take charge of the project by shooting the final three and a half weeks and then five weeks of reshoots which have already been built into the movie's schedule.
Now, Howard is meeting with the actors "to soothe a rattled set and will pore over a rough edit to see what the project has and still needs." Apparently, he's "considered to be a safe choice to complete the task, someone who will more than ably finish the movie while being a calming presence on set."
