>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 don't care about this movie but how the fuck do they quit when the film has been shooting since February? It sounds like 90% of the film has been shot, are they completely gutting what has been shot and reshooting everything like those shitty "Exorcist" prequels in 2004? This is very bizarre. Has to kill a lot of hype people had for this.
Anthony Williams
Didn't everyone love R1? People really want to see more Star Wars prequels that answer open questions of the original trilogy.

>our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project
Cause disney just wants to make the same movie 20 times in a row
Thomas Perez
>leaving a blockbuster film in the middle of shooting Is that even legal?
Oliver Reyes
>ten years from now there will be articles written about this titled "The Han Solo movie we almost got".
Andrew Williams
It's massive reshoots, just like Rogue One. I applaud them for maintaining their integrity.
Joseph Gutierrez
They can't replace Harrison Ford. This movie is gonna be a trainwreck.
Cooper Butler
They Will do the Flash.
Christopher Parker
Holy shit. Usually directors leave BEFORE the start of production if there is creative differences. Director(s) leaving DURING the actual filming means something major must of happened between them and Disney.
No one wants this movie.
Blake Hernandez
>drop a film while in pp I cant recall the last time this has happened to a blockbuster especially disney, what the fuck did they do to make them quit like that
Adam Hill
>directors of 21 Jump Street and its sequel 22 Jump Street sounds good
Jason Wood
I'm not sure why they've been shooting this film for nearly 4 months and just now decided to leave. These departures tend to happen early in pre-production, not halfway through principal photography.
Nicholas Carter
Lord and Miller are comedy directors. Probably ended up not liking the "muh serious" tone Disney wanted. Why they are leaving this far into shooting is extremely strange and raises a lot of flags.
Nathaniel Thompson
I'm smelling bitch cunt all over this. They probably were gearing towards a more serious film like Rogue One, but Kennedy and the Mouse crew want Guardians of the Galaxy: Star Wars edition and want to pander to fucking kids. I'd bail on that horseshit, too.
Ethan Thomas
source?
Charles Sanchez
The probably wanted to portray young Han Solo as a heroic white male character and Kennedy just wasn't having it.
Dylan Kelly
Considering they're comedy directors I doubt it.
Aaron Reed
Star Wars are stupid chick flicks. Who cares?
Jackson Brooks
I love Clone High, will I like 21 Jump Street? Yes my time is precious enough to warrant the question
I don't know since they are comedy directors, so it might be that they wanted it to be too quirky like lego movie
Alexander Jenkins
um, you do know the directors make comedies right?
maybe tone down your obvious misogyny a minute
Ian Martinez
>letting straight women run anything I can almost guarantee you that this is the result of ideological pestering from Kathleen Kennedy.
Nathaniel Cook
Rumor has it that the script focuses more on the Emilia Clarke character than it does on Han Solo.
Luis Hernandez
...
Jackson Robinson
Oh for fucks sake. That'll be three for three then
Noah Walker
All Disney Wars movies have been below 2/10
Leo Martinez
Fucking old piece of shit didn't know what he had.
Christian Morgan
Who in their right mind would try to make Emilia Clarke keep happening after she tanked the last Terminator movie?
Ethan Anderson
>1 loses directors midshoot >1 had massive reshoots >1 had significant re-editing
god damn kathy, what the fuck are you doing?
Nicholas Scott
It's not misogyny if it's fact, bitch. Kennedy's the reason we have Rebels instead of three more seasons of Clone Wars.
Carter Baker
probably really shitty editing
like in rouge 1
David Powell
RIP the potential of this movie
Parker Carter

way to out yourself as a retarded child

Levi Morales
>directors leave with only 3 weeks of filming left >movie being reshot over the summer with new director
disagreements must have been pretty substantial for them to leave the project with only a few weeks of filming left.
Bentley Parker
>what is Rogue One >Jar Jar Binks, multiple comedic scenes in the OT and prequels
at least try and make sense, you faggots
Landon Jenkins
Rebels is getting cancelled this season, cutting things short from the originally planned 5 season to just 4.
The ratings have been total garbage.
Josiah Robinson
Filoni said it was her idea to terminate Clone Wars rather than negotiate with Cartoon Network and run with a Y7 kiddie cartoon.
Levi Williams
That would be totally retarded
Brayden Parker
Any high profile instances where such a departure happened before, besides The Exorcist Prequel and Superman II?
This is extremely rare as far as I know.
Christopher Watson
the film is made in the editing room anyway.
Oliver Perry
It's almost as if women are bad at running studios.
Jayden Myers
Apparently she's his mom.
Dominic Nelson
? Kennedy's Star Wars films have gotten much better critical and audience reactions than George's prequels.
She also co-founded ran Amblin, you nonsensical bigot.
Gavin Powell
>disagreements must have been pretty substantial for them to leave the project with only a few weeks of filming left.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. What the hell is going on?
Jayden Evans
>leaving a progressive feminist in charge
What did they think was going to happen?
Connor Mitchell
such an obvious studio committe film good, they're too good for that bitch Kennedy
Noah Green
Not pre-production. They have been in production for 4 months
Jose Smith
While I have no doubt that The Last Jedi will make a billion dollars on name alone, I also expect that it will be a total train wreck.
Adrian Gray
*saves your movie*
Zachary Hughes
>people on Sup Forums shitpost about how EpVII was awful >ep7 was the only new star wars so far that doesnt suck
Zachary Cooper
principal photography dill weed
Brody Watson
No, pretty sure Ep7 is terrible.
Michael Ross
WELP
fuck this, it's officially going to suck dicks now. notice how the only good directorsto work with disney have to quit? Edgar Wright and now Lord + Miller
Adrian Lee
aw, the triggered faggot is still mad a female is a lead character.
Ryder Reyes
episode 7 doesn't suck, quit trying to be contrarian
inb4 >its just episode 4 durr
Dominic Phillips
>tfw you used to complain about him being mediocre >tfw you realize everyone else is worse
Robert Parker
Episode 7 is complete garbage only made to cater to casual fans and rake in money. There was bothing else behind the film.
Hudson White
>implying anything after the first movie wasn't the same
Evan Peterson
These two directors are completely retarded. They KNEW they weren't gonna have 100% control of their movie, right? The script (by Kasden, who wrote ESB and TFA) was finished. It wasn't the script. It wasn't the control. Then what was it? What could possibly come up in the FOUR MONTHS IN THE MIDDLE OF PRODUCTION that would make a director want to leave and look like that guy who directed Fantastic Four? Who's gonna hire them now? Those dummies are probably reading this thread right now like that other retard. "Creative differences"... from the highly planned production that you agreed to work on with the full knowledge of what was gonna happen? What a bunch of dopes. They should go into fashion with their retarded director duo name "Lord & Miller" lol fags
Michael Myers
so, just like the original trilogy. got it.
Liam Murphy
Get ready for the first female directed Starshit "film."
Brayden Allen
I think these two have ruined their careers now
First they were lined up to do Flash at WB, then they ditched that to do Han Solo, but now they've left that with filming still ongoing.
Nobody is going to touch them now since they can't guarantee the pair won't stay for the entire duration of production.
Lincoln Reed
>pp >pre-production? >principal photography? >post-production? Nice one bro
Joseph Jones
I really need a tell all from Edgar Wright and now these guys. But DIsney probably makes them sign centuries-long NDA's.
Wyatt Evans
I wonder who's behind this post.
Joshua Wood
Maybe Joss Whedon will finish it.
Dylan Brooks
>The Force Awakens has issues during pre-production, specifically regarding the time needed to write the script >Rogue One has issues during post-production and has massive reshoots >Untitled Han Solo Movie has the directors quitting with 3 weeks left in production
meanwhile Rian Johnson is coasting by making The Last Jedi. Based Rian.
Jason Smith
No one gives a shit. it's just a bullshit fantasy movie. move on with your life.
Jeremiah Stewart
Tfw they will save The Flash because WB always gets Disney's sloppy seconds
Blake Bailey
Why are you so triggered intern? I'm interested in the workings of the industry.
Aaron Parker
the only person who has proven himself to be a good director.
I still can't fucking believe they picked "Safety Not Guaranteed" and "Jurassic World" guy to direct a canon film. He is just terrible.
Camden Russell
I bet he regrets the world not ending in 2012 like he thought it was going to.
Cooper Parker
Based Rian will produce the only good star warrs kino
James James
The new director of the Han Solo film is...
Josh Trank.
Levi Lopez
Most of their films have made major blockbuster money. They will be fine. They just won't go near big budget franchise bullshit. Probably will make a decent comedy film next.
Michael Peterson
>four months into filming >three weeks of filming left IT MAKES NO SENSE
Anthony Johnson
>mfw they get The Flash now.
Kayden Allen
Oh no, we'll get a bad Star Wars movie. That has totally never happened before. The franchise is doomed.
Mason Allen
>mfw there's a chance Trevorrow will get replaced for Episode 9 after Book of Henry got panned and Lucasfilm realizes that he had nothing to do with Jurassic World's success
PRAYER CIRCLE FOR BRAD BIRD'S STAR WARS EPISODE IX
(JOE JOHNSTON AND EDGAR WRIGHT ALSO ACCEPTABLE)
Evan Stewart
>the triggered faggot is still mad a female is a lead character.
1. This angry language shows that you're the one who is triggered.
2. I liked Rey. It's still a bad movie.
Jason Nguyen
Good, there's no room for a white male directing star wars in 2017, let alone two at the same time
Mason Lee
As much as I'd like to blame feminism for this... I think there is a much more logical explanation;
The real blame here is the Lucasfilm "story group" run by asshat, beaner, and SJW Pablo Hildago, that has way, way too much story telling power and likely were trying to force Lord and Miller to shoehorn crap from the Marvel comics into the Han Solo film just so they can sell more shitty comics and books.
This is what happens when you let the people who played the Star Wars Roleplaying Game run Star Wars... they micromanage and kill the creativity of actually talented individuals.
>TLDR Lucasfilm is hamstringing their directors to include shit from comics, books and Rebels. Directors hate it.
Dominic Nelson
Did they get - dare I say it - Tranked?
Easton Reyes
At the end of the day Kennedy makes all the final creative decisions
Mason Foster
>there couldn't possibly anything else about this movie that could make me care less >Fucking Caloreesi and her animated eyebrows k I just went from completely indifferent to wanting this thing to die in a fire. Fucking Emilia Clarke? Really?

FUCKING FIRE KATHLEEN KENNEDY.
Gavin Turner
George,
I memed, I quoted RLM endlessly, I thought TFA would be fun and exciting, I believed Disney could do it
I am so sorry George
Jace Morris
Any chance we get a third jump street now that their schedules are open? There were rumors about that MIB crossover but I haven't heard anything since.
Levi Taylor

Elijah Sullivan
>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,
i hate this bitch
if only you faggots could make sw8 flop it's time to abandon star wars
David Barnes
As much as people want to pretend that TFA is a good movie, it's not. It has many problems, too many to list. The worst of it's issues is that it's just a soulless remake of the original Star Wars. Using a Death Star for the third time is just pandering and lazy. I don't even care about the Mary Sue arguments. This film just isn't very good and deep inside you all know I'm right.
Blake Thompson
>$150 million action movies >still having "directors"
why do they still pretend
Kevin Ross
>it's another alt-right blames SJWs for nu-Star Wars post you people are seriously the dullest tools in the cuckshed.
Cooper Roberts
So where are the editorials about Disney being in chaos and Star Wars needing a reboot?
