Lord and Miller got booted off the Han Solo movie, now Ron Howard is directing.

"He was, in fact, directing."

[seagrams hotsauce]

Haven't they been filming this thing for a while now? I hope the story of whatever happened comes out, cuz this is fucking baffling

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, they started filming back in January [with principal photography starting in February].

Disney Lucasfilms wasn't happy with the way they were doing things.

[Yeti]

Yeah, sounds like "creative differences".

I'm still waiting on the dirt to be spilled on Ant-Man.

[Great Rumbler]

Lord and Miller wanted to make a Lord and Miller movie in the Star Wars universe. Disney [or Lucasfilm, take your pick] wanted a Star Wars movie with a small dash of Lord and Miller. I imagine it was a similar situation with Ant-Man.

Well yeah, but I'm wondering what specifically would get you shitcanned from a movie this huge four-five months into filming. How much longer could they be shooting this for? Unless they reshoot a ton of it, won't whoever's directing it basically just be editing someone elses movie? Are they just gonna edit it by committee and slap Ron Howards name on it? So many questions!

That sounds about right, but it also seems super distinguished mentally-challenged to hire two guys known for a specific 'thing' and then be surprised when they do that thing, and really confusing as to why it took so long.

[Great Rumbler]

From what I've read, there's three and half weeks of principle filming left and then five weeks of scheduled reshoots. Movie's gonna be a complete mess.

[Tasty]

Yeah, sounds like "creative differences".

I'm still waiting on the dirt to be spilled on Ant-Man.

From everything I've read, and having watched the movie, I estimate the final Ant-Man to be about 60-70% of Wright's original vision. The only glaring mismatch is the Falcon scene, which was unnecessary to the actual self-contained narrative but still fun overall. I'm not crying tears over Wright leaving. He influenced the final movie immensely even though he wasn't there.

Han Solo though? There's few directors that could make me interested in that. Lord and Miller were, collectively, one of those few. I like Ron Howard, but he's not someone whose movies I'm excited to see.

[bluemax]

Ron Howard directing a science fiction action movie is odd to me.

[seagrams hotsauce]

lol this thing is gonna be a shitshow. Looks like I was right, Lord and Miller got fired for refusing to not be Lord and Miller

I never really wanted a Han Solo prequel, so if it turns out bad I won't be too miffed about it.

I was initially interested because of Lord and Miller, but now they're out so...

[Tasty]

Who would have thought a Star Wars prequel was a terrible idea?

Fixed.

[seagrams hotsauce]

They're getting the guy who plays Han Solo an acting coach late into production.

Yeah, this is going to be trash.

[TakingBackSunday]

I actually really liked Hail Caesar, AND thought Alden Ehrenreich was really good in it.  Was hopeful for this movie because of it, but yikes

[Human Snorenado]

C-Tates stole the show in that flick

C-Tates steals the show in everything. The persistent blind items about him and Bradley Cooper fucking keep me alive in these dark days.

This is the End is a great movie, I don't care what anybody says.

[TVC15]

I rewatch it and Superbad an awful lot.

[Tasty]

I couldn't stand Superbad. :/ Shame since I do kinda wanna see This is the End.

I'd still give it a try. They're not so much alike, and Jonah has a fraction of the screentime he does in Superbad. I'd describe Superbad as a bro-y comedy and This Is the End as a not-taking-itself-seriously farce.

[Himu]

Can't wait for TLJ.

Unfortunately I will have to suffer from Rogue One fan ship the rest of my days because everyone else isn't clued in that it's a bad movie.

[TVC15]

also, I've had a huge homo crush on Jay Baruchel forever.

[Yeti]

I didn't like Superbad either, but This is The End was kind of fun.

[TVC15]

I hate that dude's voice and face so fucking much I genuinely get angry when he's in anything I'm watching.

Does that secretly mean I want to fuck him, too?

Yes. Your clear virtue signalling  of hatred for Jay Baruchel means you are a prime suspect for wanting to fuck him.

How can you hate on Superbad?

I like The Interview. It's definitely the weakest but I thought it was packed with funny bits. It's not as cohesive and rewatchable though.

[TVC15]

Bullshit. Watch The Institute if you want to see what James Franco trying too hard looks like. It's one of the worst movies I've seen in years. He directed it, too!

Seriously, watch it. It is AMAZINGLY terrible.

[Tasty]

Movie's hilarious.

It's probably not even bad, but it just got quoted to shit by everyone around me in high school. For a solid couple weeks it was like Ace Ventura/Austin Powers in middle school all over again.

The timing of it was great for me.  It came out just before I went to the RCMP training academy.   A bunch of the people in my troop were quoting the cop scenes all the time when doing practice scenarios.

Just watching the preview for that movie let everyone know how terrible it would be. Seriously I thought it was possibly a troll effort, like when Joachim Phhoenix quit acting to be a rapper.

It's puzzling. I thought that if he was taking the effort to direct, he'd at the very least deliver exactly what he wanted with his own acting, but it's a historically terrible performance. I'm still holding out hope for The Disaster Artist. He's been a universally terrible director thus far, but I have a feeling he might be able to do comedy.

I need to see TLJ so badly.

I'm really feeling that it's a given that The Last Jedi is going to kick TFA's ass so hard. 

And I say that as someone who really likes TFA for what it is.

"but im afraid that's too clever"

[Great Rumbler]

The Han Solo movie should essentially be an Ocean's Eleven-type heist movie but set in the Star Wars universe. That's not what it's going to be.

[Tasty]

Works pretty well.

[Himu]

The side movies will all be getting a pass from me unless they make an Obi Wan film about what he was up to between the fall of the Jedi and ANH. After R1 being a total turd I just have no interest in other spin offs.

Laying out in the sun and drinking heavily as a hermit on Taitooine, that's why he ages 50 years in 20 or whatever it is between ROTS and ANH.

I seem to recall Ewan McGregor saying he'd be on board for that, and he's aged enough now to where he could pull it off. I'd be stoked about that, your... particular tastes ignored

[Himu]

But guys it would allow Ewan ANOTHER CHANCE without George's tight grip

[Tasty]

Star Wars Rebels, the CG show, is canon and shows that Obi-Wan has indeed just been bumming around Tatooine keeping an eye on Luke since Ep 3.

It also showed him face and kill Darth Maul (again), who survived Ep 1 and got robo-legs.

So yeah, maybe some gaps weren't meant to be filled.
