In a stunning piece of news today, we have learned via The Hollywood Reporter that directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are no longer attached to the production of Lucasfilm’s upcoming young Han Solo standalone film due to “creative differences”.
The announcement has also been posted on StarWars.com.
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.
We are now left to wonder who will be replacing them in the director’s chair as well as if this new direction will eventually affect the scheduled May 25, 2018 release date.
