Alden Ehrenreich is frontrunner to play Han Solo in ‘Star Wars’ spin-off movie
I don’t really know Alden Ehrenreich. I’ve seen the actor in the latest Coen Brothers’ joint, and he was good enough. But my exposure to his works is too small a sample size for me to evaluate. So I don’t really know if I think Alden Ehrenreich is up to play Solo. We will see.
Search for Young Han Solo down to three actors
Apparently, these are the three finalists for the role of Young Han Solo.
‘Han Solo’ Spin-Off Movie will feature Chewbacca. Obviously.
I sort of figured that any movie starring Han Solo will also star, to some extent, is fucking Ride or Die Hairy Breh. Just sort of figured that. Assumed it. And apparently I wasn’t assuming-figuring-dreaming too wildly, because Disney Czar Bob Iger confirmed my assumption-figuring-dream.
Marvel is giving Han Solo his own comic mini-series
Who the fuck doesn’t want to read a Han Solo mini-series? Like, in the abstract. I’m not asking who is going to buy this mini-series, but rather, who hears this news and is like “Oh, Jesus Christ, no!”? Bastards. That’s who.
‘Star Wars’ spin-off has shortlist of actors to play Young Han Solo
The impossible task of filling the shoes of a Young Han Solo is coming to an end. Or, at least, they’re going to cast Young Han Solo. I don’t know if the actor will be able to fill the shoes. Like I said, impossible.
‘Star Wars’ Spinoff News: They Won’t All Be Prequels. Futzing good.
One of the most disappointing things about the Grand Resurrection of the StarWars Capitalist Big Rig is that the movies that have been revealed don’t seem to be tilling much new ground. Disney owns an entire universe, but they have seemed comfortable enough sitting in the same sandbox. I get it. Established iconography, easily marketable properties. I get it. But, I cannot imagine myself the only one who wants to see Lucasfilm and the Mouse spread their wings and expand, as opposed to masturbate, the StarWars Mythos. And while nothing is confirmed, or revealed, or certain, it seems that some of those standalone movies will (maybe) give me those new stories I hanker for.
‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Chinese Trailer: All Falcon Everything
I’m not actually watching this trailer. ‘Cause, you know. Week out. But apparently it’s got a funk-load of Millennium Falcon, and Han Solo.
‘Star Wars’ Spin-Off News: 2,500 actors have auditioned for Young Han Solo
Hey friends! Don’t forget! Once you’ve seen The Force Awakens and momentarily (I hope) basked in the glory that is a resurrected and beautiful WarStar franchise, remember that more movies are coming! Yes ma’am! Yes sir! Disney is going to take that momentary euphoria and proceed to wring all novelty out of it with an endless cascade of annual installments!
One of those aforementioned installments will center on a Young Han Solo, and my word is Disney being extensive in its casting of the actor to fill the role.
