Christopher Miller and Phil Lord to direct Han Solo spin-off

Quote :

The Hollywood Reporter reveals Christopher Miller and Phil Lord (21 Jump Street) have decided that one of Disney and Lucasfilm's Star Wars anthology movies will be their next directing project. They're set to write, direct, and produce the release which will revolve around a young Han Solo according to the trade's sources. However, this isn't the same project that Josh Trank was attached to direct before he was reportedly fired as a result of his behavious on the set of Fantastic Four. That one is said to focus on the origin of Boba Fett, and is still searching for another director. 

 

Where this Han Solo movie will fit into Lord and Miller's schedule remains to be seen, but the site mentions that, "They were to develop a Flash feature for Warners as a directing vehicle but now with the untitled Star Wars spin-off, that is likely off the table." The same goes for a third Jump Street movie, but this new won't impact that animated Spider-Man feature as they were never planning on directing that anyway. What do you guys think about this news? Sound off below!

UPDATE: StarWars.com has now confirmed the news, and it seems like this is indeed the movie which Josh Trank was set to direct. Slated for a May 25th, 2018 release, the untitled release was written by Lawrence Kasdan and Jon Kasdan. The story focuses on how young Han Solo became the smuggler, thief, and scoundrel whom Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first encountered in the cantina at Mos Eisley.

WTF!? I wanted them for The Flash movie dammit!

A much better film for Phil and Chris to do.

Edgar Wright for The Flash! Make it happen, DC.

That would be so hilarious considering how Marvel screwed him over.

Does anyone really want to see a Harrison Ford-less Han Solo?

Done by Phil and Chris? Absolutely.

It also looks like Boba Fett is going to appear in the film as well. So that's another reason to see it.

I don't mean that, of course people would want to see the film. I meant do people really want to see Han Solo recast. It'd be like recasting the Terminator. It happened that one time and no one liked it.

@yonny616 This is a younger Han Solo though.

A least let Harrison Ford make a cameo, plz!!!!!

That'd be stupid.

@yonny616 You're right. They should just let Harrison Ford play 20 or 30 year old Han Solo.

I never said that, but then again your reading comprehension is below 5th grade level.
