Thandie Newton Says Han Solo Movie is 'Amazing Collaboration'

Despite the off - screen tumult with the shuffling of directors during the product ofSolo : A Star Wars Story , star Thandie Newton says the film is an"amazing collaboration . “It ’s been an interesting past 3 1/2 months for the secondStar Warsanthology movie , beginning with thefiring of conscientious objector - director Phil Lord and Christopher Millerfrom the product in June , and the quick hire of vet Lucasfilm actor and director Ron Howard to complete primary photography on the movie andreshoots .

Per usual for aStar Warsmovie output , concrete contingent onSolo – starring Alden Ehrenreich in the rubric part and Donald Glover as the young Lando Calrissian – have been exceedingly knockout to come by , keep the not - quite - so - revealing social media mail service by Howard . That , of course , has n’t stopped the rumour from fly aboutSolo , including a write up before this week that Howard reshot“nearly all”of the picture show for possibly“twice the budget ” – despite earlier word from a germ close to the production that the most of the footage Lord and Miller shotwas"very usuable . "

Now , Newton , who stars in a yet - to - be - disclosed role inSolo , lay claim in an audience withEWthat forge on the production was much more condition quo than what has been reported , surely when it comes to the rumors of the plastic film being closely re - shot . She says :

“ aside from the initial shock and feel unsound for [ Lord and Miller ] not being able to finish their study , their work is everywhere in it . Ninety per centum of my poppycock is with them . And it for certain was n’t about , ‘ Oh we have to start again and do it all over . ' ”

Newton complete her work onSoloin London last monthwith reshoots on the film , so naturally , she acted under the direction of Howard , too . As to Howard taking over the motion picture from Lord and Miller , theWestworldstar implied there were conversation between the three that led to shaping of the moving-picture show as a whole .

“ I love Phil and Chris — everybody know Phil and Chris — they ’re so vivid . Ron and the guy cable were talk to each other . As far as I ’m touch what ’s on sieve , in the oddment , is going to be an amazing collaboration . It ’s a massive piece . We see so often now there are two managing director working on pictures . We already had two with Phil and Chris . Now there ’s three . With a undertaking like that where it ’s a vision that ’s been make over so many years , that ’s so expansive , I think it ’s less about things going wrong than getting more help to bring it into the best position it can be in . I really like Ron though , he ’s very sweet . "

Only clock time will separate whether the modulation onSolofrom Lord and Miller to Howard was a smooth one or the final product will resemble a hunk of space junk . For the prison term being , Newton is certainly high on the panorama of the cinema , which she identify as"dope"and"so cool!“She also praises her fellow cast penis , which includes Woody Harrelson , Phoebe Waller - Bridge and"the wonderful Game of Thrones angel,“Emilia Clarke .
