In advance of the theatrical release of his live-streamed Lost in London project, Woody Harrelson spent some time chatting with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about a few of his other notable works, including of course his casting in the upcoming young Han Solo film. Harrelson didn’t say much about the 2018 release as expected, basically re-confirming once again his mentor-type role from earlier and praising the opportunity to work with directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
“It’s mind-blowing. I can’t really…you know, I never would’ve imagined that I’d get this opportunity so I’m really pumped about it. I really like those directors [Phil Lord and Chris Miller], I think they’re really great. You know let’s face it, almost any movie if the director’s great then the movie has a shot, but if they’re not obviously you’ve got very little chance of a good movie. I just feel great to be a part of that. What a cool thing.”
“I don’t think the Force is allowing me to talk about this. They want me to keep pretty mum so I better not say too much about it. They’re pretty top secret about the script and the story… It’ll be cool to be mentoring Han Solo, that will be cool.”
