Lucasmovie was unhappy with Han Solo (Topic)

The Hollywood Reporter's thorough investigation into the circumstances of the dismissal of the moviemakers of the movie about Han Solo Phil Lord and Chris Miller, conducted by The Hollywood Reporter, revealed a huge layer of problems, among which the lack of proper professionalism of the directors was not the only obstacle.

As already reported earlier, the producers of the project, in particular, Kathleen Kennedy and Lawrence Kasdan, were not satisfied with deviations from the approved script and excessive improvisation. Also Miller and Lord, who know how to shoot chamber comedies, were completely unable to manage a large team. "This situation requires making more complex and quick decisions than they could. I don't know, maybe it was due to the fact that there were two of them, but they were extremely indecisive," commented a member of the crew. who wished to remain anonymous.

Moreover, the studio management and Kennedy personally were extremely disappointed with the interpretation of the image of Han Solo, which was suggested by the performer of this role, Alden Ehrenreich. As a result, Lucasmovie took an unprecedented step by hiring an acting teacher for him.

For a time, Kathleen Kennedy tried to convince Lord and Miller to change their approach to work, as she was constantly asked by the middle managers who oversaw the work of directors directly in London. But even after screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan was seconded to the UK capital to oversee the movieing process, the directors did not heed the admonitions of the management.

The denouement came in mid-June. when both directors arrived at the site very late and began movieing the episode aboard the Millennium Falcon from only three positions, and not from 15, as was approved in the plan. Kathleen Kennedy approached Walt Disney for permission to immediately fire Phil Lord and Chris Miller, despite all possible financial and reputational losses. This permission was given to her.

On the same day, the crew was announced that Ron Howard would take over the project. This news was greeted at the site with thunderous applause.
