Star Wars' Han Solo Spinoff Directors Quit In the Middle of Shooting (theverge.com)

hondo77 writes: Due to "different creative visions," Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are no longer directing the Han Solo movie, despite filming having started in January. The film is still scheduled to be released in May 2018. "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," Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, said in a statement. The Han Solo spinoff is set to star Alden Ehrenreich as a young Han Solo, with Woody Harrelson as his mentor, Donald Glover as a young Lando Calrissian, and unspecified roles for Emilia Clarke and Thandia Newton.

Spinoff Directors Quit In the Middle of Shooting

I can only hope the difference in creative vision went something like this:

"You know what, fuck this sequel/prequel/spinoff bullshit. I've had enough of it. Every damn thing coming out these days is nothing more than a shitty recycle of an older movie that tries to justify itself with a half billion dollars worth of 21st century special effects, or the 17th movie in a drawn-out storyline that should have died long ago. Give me an original storyline with a new concept for once."

Here's your 2023 summer movie lineup to prove a point:

Resident Evil: Gotta Catch 'Em All, Part 2

Fast and Furious: Lunar Drift

Pirates of the Caribbean: Hanna Montana's Revenge

Transformers: Rise of the Transgender

Star Trek: Teen Spock and the Vulcanettes

Sharknado Mayhem 4D: Movie Theater Wetsuit Edition.

Somewhere in Hollywood, at this very second, someone is looking at your list and saying "You know, that one might work".

I'd definitely watch GNU Wars. The evil Darth Vim getting his ass kicked by the furry little Emacs, Richard Starman and his GNU mind tricks...
