The time has come: the first take for the STAR WARS movie about young Han Solo has fallen. The film, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, is a real gamble. Because hardly anyone is as connected to his role as Harrison Ford is to that of Han Solo. Alden Ehrenreich will have a hard time fulfilling the high expectations of millions of fans. Furthermore, it should be interesting to see to what extent the directors respond to the expectations of the fans. Will they show us Lando Calrissian, played by Donald Glover, losing the Millennium Falcon to Han Solo? Will we see how the popular smuggler and his faithful companion Chewbacca met? Or will the film go down some surprising paths all its own?
Only one thing is certain: the film will take place chronologically before Star Wars: A New Hope and will offer a glimpse into the adventurous pasts of the galaxy's two most beloved heroes. Alongside Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover will be "Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke, as well as Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Joonas Sutamo as Chewbacca.
The directors say of their cast and crew, "There is nothing more rewarding than coming together with such creative and unique people from all over the world to create art together. We are very moved and happy."
The screenplay was penned by Lawrence and Jon Kasdan. Producing the new film are Kathleen Kennedy, Allison Shearmur and Simon Emanuel, with co-producers Kiri Hart, Susan Towner and Will Allegra. Lawrence Kasdan and Jason McGatlin serve as executive producers.
The as-yet untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story opens in German theaters on May 24, 2018.
