Check It Out: Han Solo Film loses Lord and Miller (Updated!)

By

The first major shakeup since Disney bought Star Wars occurred yesterday, well at least since they forgot Josh Trank actually existed, and that was Han Solo losing its beloved Directors: Phil Lord and Chris Miller.  The dynamic directing duo claimed they left the film over different visions of what it should be compared to what Disney wanted.

Updated: It is now rumored that Ron Howard is the favorite to takeover as the new Han Solo Director!

Find out our thoughts on the departure after the break...


My first take away from this surprising news is that there is no way this film makes the planned May 25th 2018 release date. I think pushing the film back would to December to coincide with other Disney Star Wars releases would not only make sense, but give the studio time to find the ample director rather than rush production.  For fans hoping for the first Memorial Day Star Wars release since a Revenge of the Sith would be inevitably upset, maintaining the quality of these films is of the upmost importance if Disney plans to continue on annual Star Wars releases.  

As much as I love Lord and Miller I do not think this is a time for Star Wars fans to hit the Death Star warning alarms, Disney has yet to make a wrong move since abandoning the expanded universe so they have built up some Entertainment capital.

     As Skeletor said in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe , "Everything comes to he who waits, and I have waited so very long for this moment." Yes, after one year of preorders, waiting, concepts and preproduction pieces, constant changes, small victories, crushing defeats, and sheer anticipation, Castle Grayskull has finally arrived to my home. Earlier this afternoon my wife texted me a picture of the enormous box sitting in our kitchen and I've been jazzed ever since. Heck, I've been singing the Castle Grayskull song all week now to help myself pass the time. Before I even open the box, I have to say that while there have been plenty of ups and downs on the journey from having Castle Grayskull exist simply as a sketch on paper to existing as an actual product delivered to my door, I think there are some folks that need to be commended. First, regardless of all other issues I don't think anyone can say that Scott Neitlich ("ToyGuru") and the Fo

The Night He Came Home Again! - A 'Halloween 2018' Review

When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best.  How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
