in the middle of production?! Oh-oh. {nm} Antibody Jun 20, 16:37

Star Wars press release Antibody Jun 20, 16:39

"it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film" maybe they didn't want to do the kind of Disney fanboy service that slipping jimmy Jun 20, 16:42

Disney didn't even wait until Friday for the bad news. {nm} Antibody Jun 20, 16:43

Probably someone already contacted them about rumors and "forced" their hand. {nm} notfabio Jun 20, 16:44

L&M would seem likely to go more comedic, maybe they weren't bringing enough dramatic/action islander Jun 20, 16:49

One would think something like that would be brought up *before* production, not this far in... {nm} -JPV- Jun 20, 16:52

right?...how hard is it to peek at their filmography beforehand? {nm} tealfan Jun 20, 19:06

No kidding. I know there's a lot of trust with Disney and Star Wars, they're lucky Rogue One was well liked but... -JPV- Jun 20, 20:01

Rogue One reshoots were partly to shift it to be more in line with Saga films so that's probably not far off the mark notfabio Jun 20, 17:02

THR's McClintock: A source tells me there are three weeks left to go... must've been a real war for the directors to leave... Antibody Jun 20, 17:14

Maybe they wanted Han to shoot first and set a precedent, seriously. {nm} Antibody Jun 20, 17:23

Patty Jenkins! {nm} slipping jimmy Jun 20, 16:38

Lawrence Kasdan or Tony Gilroy would be my guess as fixers. {nm} notfabio Jun 20, 16:48

So... does Warner come calling for The Flash (again)? Seems like their style, and the tonal shift for DC, would work for the character. {nm} -JPV- Jun 20, 16:57

whoa. {nm} CSBD Jun 20, 17:29

Ron Howard? {nm} Gentry Jun 20, 19:27

Faverau!!!! Pete R. Pan Jun 21, 08:18

Favreau (sorry for the misspelling Jon) {nm} Pete R. Pan Jun 21, 08:21

So many numbskulls are blaming comedy and not understanding that the problem was not comedy but improv, which can be dramatic improv as well {nm} FranklynStreet Jun 21, 08:23
