Solo [Official Info] Ron Howard to Finish Han Solo film

So what have L&M been up to these last few months since RH took over?

Vanity Fair seems to think "Fired Star Wars Directors Sure Sound Like They’re Making a Movie About a Lady Han Solo".

Don't they know what "dignity" is?

 

Yeah, no kidding. Real classy... SMH. Not only did they pick that to work with, but I'm guessing they'll be trying to play up the tongue-in-cheek Han Solo references (much more than the actual source material ever intended to have) as much as possible. Geez.

 

The studio would be like "So you wanna make a space smuggler film?"

L&M: "Exactly"

 

This one's from yesterday. I start every work week thinking, "This has to be the week they finish filming Han Solo," and every week I'm consistently met with disappointment.

Director's monitor. Turns out Smuggling has its stressful moments in the #Galaxypic.twitter.com/yFmbo8OdR1

 

Oh man, now my nostalgia button is getting pushed all over again.

Can you imagine if Abrams posted a shot like this from the set of TFA? The internet would have melted down for good.

 

I hope they finish the film on time after all the trouble with Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

 

Just As long as its as good or better then TFA and RO then I will be a very happy Fanboy!

 

I think it's a bit too late to postpone the release date. If they were going to do it, it would have been announced alongside Howard's hiring, like with Abrams and Episode IX.

 

If he's filming fill in bits until the end of the year, it'll be fine.

That's either an old shot, or in editing they realised they needed a shot of... who?... running around the corner. The mean bugger deliberately blurring it.

These Twitter/Instagram shots are more edited than they appear.

 

there basically going to have 7 months maybe less of post production if the film wraps this month, is 7 months enough for post production?

 

Notice how clean the 'padded walls' of the Falcon are. I noticed this in the promo shot of the cast and (then) Directors in the cockpit way back then - the 'padded walls' of the corridor beyond were very clean. It wouldn't surprise me if they did not rework the cockpit as well to make it look newer.

Call me suspicious, but I've been wondering for a while now if some of these images tweeted by RH are a bit old, that is they aren't necessarily something he's captured the day he posts. For instance, we got a version of this R2-BBQ a few weeks ago, now here's effectively the same image but with Howard and JKasdan in shot. Unfortunately it's hard to tell from JKasdan's twitter account if he's in the UK at the moment.

And the farewell to Emilia Clarke appeared to be at least a week old and taken the same time as the farewell to Paul Bettany.

Perhaps most of the filming is complete and these tweets are just to appease fans until a trailer is released. I doubt they'll release a trailer before TLJ is out so as not to cramp it.

 

I have to give it to him. Ron Howard is a master buzz-generator. He has essentially wiped away conversation of the L&M firing with these awesome tweets.

I may be very skeptical of his directing (especially his recent films), but I'm happy for now.

 

I am wondering the same thing the R2 BBQ was from over a month ago maybe from 2 months ago...

Rush was an Excellent movie and I don't even like race car driving.

 

That reminds me! I was so psyched for this film and so convinced that Ron Howard was a perfect director for Star Wars that I went back and had a Ron Howard marathon (I couldn't find a way to watch Cocoon, sadly). I just finished with In the Heart of the Sea last night.

Some people say he's been past his prime since the 80's, I couldn't disagree more. After watching almost all of them it's clear that his best efforts have been in the 21st century (Da Vinci Codes notwithstanding which are strangely his most violent movies), but especially the ones with Russell Crowe. I had never seen A Beautiful Mind before, but it's now one of my favorites ever. I saw Cinderella Man and Frost/Nixon in the theater, so I knew how good they were, but having grown quite a bit since Cinderella Man I feel like I understood it a lot more. I was crying like a baby!

The ones that prove he can do Star Wars, however, are Willow, Rush and what is probably his most underrated film, The Paper. I'm looking forward to Han Solo more than The Last Jedi.

 

Also beginning to suspect that production has been wrapped already. With regard to the post production fears over this film. Since LFL reportedly liked the Kasdan's script, perhaps, most of the time, it's simply a matter of removing the unwanted Lord & Miller footage and replacing that with Ron Howard footage. Which would cut down on processes such as editing?

 

I really Enjoyed Rush and am probably In the minority but In The Heart Of The Sea was really good to Things like that really happened to Whalers Hence Moby Dick being based on a True Story. Yes It was dark with the cannibalism but It was based on a true story. My favorite Da Vinci Code movie was the First one To me It had an Indiana Jones feel as did the book. I saw the Last Da Vinci Code movie with Felicity Jones In It at the theater I really enjoyed It! I remember Cocoon being really good but I don't remember a lot of It just bits and pieces!

 

In case there was any doubt, this clears up that they're editing the film concurrently with shooting it. I'm pretty sure this is Chewbacca (or some other Wookiee) we're looking at, but if you squint, the way his fur is bunching up looks almost like a decomposing zombie face. Like, that, specifically.
