You're going to trust them over Ron freaking Howard?
The bolded is probably exactly what happened.AliasMan02 said:
So Lucasfilm wanted a western. What do we think L&M we're giving them in terms of tone? Too goofy-funny? Like too overtly "haha" funny? I could see that.
Just read my treatment, Kathleen. You'll love it. You can hire whatever director you want.
If only he wasn't directing the shooting of the entire film.......Oh wait, he isn't! Only three weeks left (and admittedly, likely some re-shoots)TCTTS said:Brian Earl Spilner said:

In terms of tone/fun? Absolutely.
Name the last good movie Ron HowRd made?
I'd totally let Gunn take this given the option.TCTTS said:
I like each of those directors and a lot of the movies they've made, I just think they're pretty bland in comparison to Lord & Miller.

A movie that didn't need to be made. Just like R1. The directors Disney hires don't want to tell the same old story, and I wonder how long the public will want to watch it.

I just can't imagine what HASN'T been figured out at this point? How are there "creative differences" with three weeks left of shooting? Granted, most movies now days are edited WHILE shooting is going on, so maybe something was discovered/disagreed upon in the edit, but still. At this point, every last shot has been storyboarded and pre-prevised, the script is basically locked, the tone long since decided, costumes obviously finished, etc. I just can't remember anything like this happening, ever. So wild. Only thing I can think of is that Lord & Miller got some crazy idea during filming that would have ventured too far from the agreed upon path, whether it be story-wise, money-wise, or both. And then they just couldn't let go of it.

I liked rogue one. But it didn't add anything to the universe. I want new creative stories, not prequels. There have already been too many of those...

Funny story: yesterday while in the security line I was next to some guy who believes Kathleen Kennedy is evil and has plans for some sort of coup to basically destroy Star Wars.
At this point why she would need to execute a coup I don't know...
I think it was the decision to have the cantina band playing "everything is awesome" that did them inAliasMan02 said:

To be fair, no one will complain if Ron Howard steps in to finalize things...
Cocoon, Apollo 13, and The DaVinci Code? Fantastic. (I feel like I'm missing one there)
EDIT: Looked it up and forgot A Beautiful Mind.

Maybe Kathleen should just direct it. I mean, she might as well at this point....

Can't be worse than Ep2

The move comes two days after directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were let go from the movie they had spent over four-and-a-half months directing. Creative differences over style and tone came to a head between the duo and Lawrence Kasdan, with the studio backing the veteran screenwriter.
Quote:
Howard, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter, will meet with the actors Alden Ehrenreich is playing the iconic smuggler, Donald Glover is playing Lando Calrissian, with Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke and Thandie Newton also on the roll call to soothe a rattled set and will pore over a rough edit to see what the project has and still needs.
Quote:
Howard is considered to be a safe choice to complete the task, someone who will more than ably finish the movie while being a calming presence on set.
