Han Solo film loses directors

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are no longer directing the Han Solo Star Wars spinoff.

“Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it's become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we've decided to part ways. A new director will be announced soon,” Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, said in a statement.

Lord and Miller, helmers of “The Lego Movie” “21 Jump Street” and its sequel “22 Jump Street”, signed on to direct the Star Wars stand-alone in July 2015. The film features Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, while Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson and Donald Glover also star. The film has been shooting in London since February. Sources say there are several weeks left on the shoot (who will be helming those is currently under wraps), with reshoots scheduled for later this summer.

The release date of May 25, 2018, remains unchanged.
