Screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan (The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens) has revealed that the upcoming Star Wars Han Solo anthology movie will begin filming in January 2017.
Kasdan recently won the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival’s first Icon Award for Contributions to the Cinematic Arts. Before accepting the award he took part in a Q&A and the subject of the Han Solo film came up. A transcript of what was said follows:
Q: “What can you tell us about the Han Solo project?”
Lawrence Kasdan: “Young Han! (Laughs).”
Q: “For the fans, generally speaking, should they be excited?”
Lawrence Kasdan: “Oh, I think so! You know, Chris Miller and Phil Lord are going to direct it. They’re great, funny and imaginative and we’ve had a great time together. My son [Jon] and I wrote the script and Chris and Phil are working on it and they’re about to move to London to start shooting in January. And it should be fun.”
Q: “2018 is the release date?”
Lawrence Kasdan: “Yes. They’re actually scheduled for May. The [other Star Wars films] are falling on Christmas — Rogue One and Episode 8. Han will come before Episode 9.”
The Han Solo anthology movie is scheduled for release on May 25th, 2018.
