Untitled Han Solo Project has a picture :)

Ok ya'll, as being a Star Wars Nerd, I have been excited about any new SW project/movie coming out. Well coming next year will be the stand alone Han Solo movie!!!! 

I will admit, I have been on the fence about the actor that they selected for Han. I have Han in my head, and from the previous work that I've seen Alden Ehrenreich in, I will say I was very concerned. But so far, he looks like he can look the part. I just hope that he does it justice. 

So here is a sneak peek!! Enjoy. And tell me what you think about the new Han! 

The adventure-filled past of the iconic scoundrel and everyone’s favorite Wookiee is going before cameras this month when principal photography on the untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story officially began February 20th at Pinewood Studios, London.

The movie will explore the duo’s adventures before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, including their early encounters with that other card-playing rogue from a galaxy far, far away, Lando Calrissian.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are directors co-piloting the movie, with a cast that includes Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, Thandie Newton, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, with Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca.

“Watching such inspired people from all over the world, with such unique voices, come together for the sole purpose of making art, is nothing short of miraculous,” Lord and Miller said. “We can't think of anything funny to say, because we just feel really moved, and really lucky.”

Written by Lawrence and Jon Kasdan, it will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Allison Shearmur, Simon Emanuel and co-produced by Kiri Hart, Susan Towner and Will Allegra. Lawrence Kasdan and Jason McGatlin will executive produce.

Crewing the ship will be some of the industry’s top talent, including Academy Award nominee for his work on “Arrival,” Bradford Young (Director of Photography), Chris Dickens (Editor), Dominic Tuohy (SFX Supervisor), Rob Bredow (VFX Supervisor) and Brad Allan (Action Designer).

They will be joining returning Star Wars veteran crew members Neal Scanlan (Creature & Droid FX Creative Supervisor), Neil Lamont (Production Designer), Dave Crossman and Glyn Dillon (Co-Costume Designers), Jamie Wilkinson (Prop Master), Lisa Tomblin (Hair), Amanda Knight (Make-Up) and Nina Gold (UK Casting Director). 

The untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story is slated for release on May 25, 2018.

Punch it.

Lego Batman Movie Review

I'm a big fan of Legos. I loved The Lego Movie when it came out a few years ago, and for Christmas I even got the Lego Dimensions starter set (finally) along with the Fantastic Beasts story pack. So I was kind of excited about Lego Batman Movie!

It starts out with Batman narrating the opening credits, which was kind of funny. And then goes into Batman saving Gotham. There's the new commissioner, Barbara who wants Batman and the Police to work together. And he's not about to have any of it. And then there's Dick, who somehow comes into his home without him even realizing what he's doing. Alfred is there, being the father figure that Batman doesn't realize he needed. The main bad guy of course is Joker! And their interactions are wonderful. It has so many bad guys that you would expect, and ones that you wouldn't, which I loved and got very excited about, being the nerd that I am!

Its a movie about exploring feelings and the need for family and friends. It shows that it doesn't always have to be a one person show! And that people, regardless of what type they may be, are important!

There is some violence (of course) and some dark humor that may be above kids heads, but it's still a fun movie for them. And adults can enjoy all the of the adult references and the throw backs to all the previous Batmans!

For a fun family movie, The Lego Batman Movie would be a good choice!

In the irreverent spirit of fun that made “The LEGO® Movie” a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman (Will Arnett) – stars in his own big-screen adventure.  But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s (Zach Galifianakis) hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.
