Han Solo, A Star Wars Story: Directors shot in film shoot

sivertime — Wed, 21 Jun 2017 14:33:18 +0000

The news has fallen! Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the directors of Han Solo, A Star Wars Story, had to withdraw from the project due to creative disputes with the studios.
Bim! Will LucasFilm’s well-oiled machine know its first failures? While everything seemed to go well on the set of Han Solo, A Star Wars Story, pictures and small indiscretions to support, here we learn that things were not as serene as that. Because yes, we have just learned that Christropher Miller and Phil Lord, the two directors of the film, have been fired from the project ! Like that, without a warning shot or warning. Yet the two directors had been carefully selected by the studios well upstream from the production of the spin-off on Han Solo and seemed to have well integrated the universe of the saga. Although the arrival of the two men, rather specialized in comedy ( 21 Jump Street , La Grande Aventure Lego ), had raised more than one eyebrow. Creative disputes were at the origin of the filmmakers’ departure, which apparently did not share the vision of the studios of the character of Han Solo. And from the beginning.
Kathleen Kennedy, president of LucasFilm, said: ” Phil Lord and Chris Miller are talented directors who brought together a great cast and crew, but it became clear that we each had a different view of the film And we have decided to separate, and a new director will be announced soon . ” ” Unfortunately, our vision and process were not in line with our partners on the project. We are usually not too fans of the expression ‘creative disputes’, but for once , This shot is right . “. It remains to be seen what effect the departure of Phil Lord and Chris Miller will have on the filming of the film. Will the one who takes their place rewrite part of the script to better stick to the studio’s vision ? Is filming likely to fall behind? In any case, it seems that LucasFilm has already looked to Ron Howard, who could replace the two men. At melty, there is in any case the fingers so that Han Solo, a Star Wars Story, which is supposed to be a very different film , does not suffer too much from this brutal change. What do you think ? In any case fingers for Han Solo, A Star Wars Story, which is supposed to be a very different film , does not suffer too much from this brutal change. What do you think ? In any case fingers for Han Solo, A Star Wars Story, which is supposed to be a very different film , does not suffer too much from this brutal change. What do you think ?

Han Solo, A Star Wars Story: Three new characters unveiled!

sivertime — Fri, 05 May 2017 15:40:50 +0000

In Han Solo, A Star Wars Story, it’s not just Han himself and Chewie! The proof, three new secondary characters have just been unveiled on the web.
What’s good about spin-offs Star Wars – in addition to allowing us to find our favorite heroes – is that they make us get to know a lot of new characters. Aliens as human, besides, one is not sectarian. So, yes, we admit, we can not wait to get back on a new adventure with our favorite smuggler in the spin-off dedicated to Han Solo. But we are also curious to discover the new heads all stranger than the others who will gravitate around him throughout the film. Especially in the case of Donald Glover , who plays a young Lando Calrissian, and Woody Harrelson, who lends his features to the seemingly a bit suspicious mentor of Han, we do not know anything about the secondary characters . Good, There is this alien that unveiled itself in a video of Han Solo, A Star Wars Story , but it is impossible to say whether it will have any role in the film. In short, all this is still very vague. Well, that was until today. Because yes, the editor of melty is able to give you some details about it. And there are not less than three new little ones who would have emerged on the web!
Obviously, the information comes from Making Star Wars, which has even suggested that a Jedi could join the cast of Han Solo, A Star Wars Story – which means that one can not be sure either To 100% that they are true. Here are the characters who have made their way to us. The first would be called Rebolt and would be incarnated by Ian Kenny. The second would carry the name Moloch and take, as for him, the features of stuntman Harley Durst. With a name like this one is willing to bet that this character will be an alien . And he probably will not be one of Han Solo’s best friends. Besides, we see our favorite thug robbed him of some goods or, why not, Have an animated conversation with him on any contract. However, as Moloch is supposed to be played by a stuntman, one imagines especially that it will have only a small role. And then the third would be, for the blow, truly secondary since it simply does not have a name! Let us say rather that he has a title since it would be a Moloch’s henchman. A bodyguard, maybe? Anyway, it should be interpreted Tien Hoang. And that’s about all we know about these three characters. But one crosses the fingers so that details a little more satisfactory soon surface! What kind of characters would you like to see in the film? Truly secondary since it simply does not have a name! Let us say rather that he has a title since it would be a Moloch’s henchman.

Open your eyes, here are all Disney movies that are going to have a remake in live-action

sivertime — Wed, 03 May 2017 15:49:42 +0000

You risk eating Disney for quite a few more years …
When you hold a chicken with golden eggs, it would be a joke not to enjoy it. It’s a bit of Disney’s credo , which intends to use the vein of live-action for several more years. With the record revenues of “Malefique” , “Cendrillon” , “Le Livre de la Jungle” and recently “La Belle et la Bete” , the firm with big ears planche on a multitude of adaptations of its famous catalog of drawings Animated . In short, get ready, live-action is coming …
Mulan
Disney has been working on the screenplay since 2015, in collaboration with director Niki Caro, who announced a much more “adult” version compared to the original work. To avoid any accusation of “whitewashing”, the casting will be mainly composed of actors of Asian origin . Exit scheduled for 2 November 2018.
The Lion King
It’s Jon Favreau, the director of Iron Man , but also of the recent live-action of the “Book of the Jungle” , which is to the controllers of this project, certainly the most awaited by the fans of Disney skepticism). If it can reassure them, no human will be present in the film, all the animals will be reproduced by synthetic image . Expected release date for 2019.
Dumbo
After “Alice in Wonderland” , Tim Burton will tackle another monument in the Disney catalog. He will be accompanied again on this project by the frenchie Eva Green (after “Dark Shadows” and “Miss Peregrine” ). As for the screenplay, it was entrusted to Ehren Kruger, who worked on the trilogy “Transformers”. Cars that are transforming, elephants flying, it’s kind of the same delirious you’ve seen. Expected release in 2018.
Merlin the wizard
It is Bryan Cogman, one of the authors / producers of “Game of Thrones” , who actively works on the script of this remake, probably centered around the youth of King Arthur . Fantasy fans should take their eyes full. Expected release for 2018.
Mary Poppins
For once, “Mary Poppins Returns” is not a remake but rather a result of the 1964 movie with Emily Blunt in the lead role and Rob Marshall as director ( “Chicago” , “Pirates of the Caribbean 4” . ..). The adaptation must land for Christmas 2018.
Aladdin
As for “The Lion King” , one touches here one of the most popular works of the universe Disney. And it is Guy Ritchie ( “Snatch” , “Sherlock Holmes” , “RocknRolla” …) that it is the heavy task of carrying Aladdin and all the smala on the big screen. Again, to avoid the pitfall of “whitewashing”, the casters are looking for actors with “the Middle East type” . The release date is still unknown.
One night on Mount Bald
There is absolutely no dishonesty on Disney’s side, which will adapt “One Night on Bald Mountain” , a segment that lasts 10 minutes in “Fantasia”, in a 2-hour movie. Not to frighten producers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, who have already worked on fantasy / horror works before ( “Dracula Untold” and “The Last Witch Hunter” ). Release date unknown.
Winnie the Pooh
Rather reserved for children, the film will be interested in the character of Jean-Christophe grown up, and who will retrieve his stuffed Winnie . A project entrusted to Marc Foster ( “Quantum of Solace” , “World War Z” …) and which should see the day running 2018.
James and Giant Fishing
Roald Dahl’s literary work, already adapted as a stop motion in 1996, will have a new life in 2018, rather unknown to the general public . And it is neither more nor less than Sam Mendes ( “Skyfall” , “The Paths of perdition” …) which will be the real ‘of this ambitious project.
The little Mermaid
Prepare not for one remake, but for two. Besides Disney, which is hot on the record, Universal has been active for a while already on a live adaptation of “The Little Mermaid” , Sofia Coppola having a time participated in the project, before retiring due to “creative disputes” . Nothing has yet leaked on the Disney version, except that it will be produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Pinocchio
For the moment, here is material to make a good live-action, and it is already several years that the project is considered by Disney. It would still be at the stage of the script, entrusted to Peter Hedges , known for his taff on “The funny life of Timothy Green” or “Gilbert Grape” .
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
No, you will not be entitled to an umpteenth adaptation of “Snow White” . Disney will indeed bet on … his sister, Rose-Rouge. With one of the bows of the Grimm brothers’ tale still never operated by Mickey’s company . The screenplay was entrusted to Evan Daughtery, already roamed to the exercise thanks to his work on “Snow White and the Hunter” .
Cruella
That no one moves: EMMA STONE was chosen to embody the biggest scoundrel of the “101 Dalmatians” . I repeat, Emma Stone was … in short you will have understood, this amazing (and sexy) choice aims above all to rejuvenate the character, history to discover the origins of the evil, in this film centered on his character . Nothing to do so with the 1996 live-action that featured Glenn Close. On the real side, it’s Alex Timbers who will stick to it. Expected release in 2019.
Peter Pan
It is already the remake of “Peter and Eliot the Dragon” . David Lowery is now riveted on the live-action of “Peter Pan” , which will try to do as well as the “Hook or the revenge of the Captain Hook” of Steven Spielberg.
Tinkerbell
But that’s not all, “La Fée Tinkerbell” will also be entitled to his own film. And we already know that it is Reese Whiterspoon that will slip into the pretty green suit .

Mulan: 5 Things You Did not Know About Disney Cartoon

sivertime — Mon, 27 Feb 2017 20:13:35 +0000

While waiting for the new version planned for 2018, melty offers you to plunge back into the original cartoon and discover 5 things you did not know about!
As we get ready to rediscover the adventures of Beauty and the Beast in the movies with Emma Watson in the title role, another Disney Princess will appear on the big screen next year: Mulan, the Chinese warrior capable To break an army of Huns to herself! As much as to say that at the editorial of melty, we are rather excited by this news, because Mulan is undoubtedly part of our favorite Disney princesses . One, because it is the most badass, and two, because if she falls obviously in love with Shang, she remains an independent woman, who does not need men or marriage to succeed, as It proves it to the whole of China at the end of the cartoon. In addition, it will be directed by a woman, Niki Caro , History of being feminist to the end. One more reason to wait impatiently for this adaptation live action! That said, it is still much more than a year before singing at the top of the lungs “Like a man” in cinemas. So in the meantime, we thought it would be nice to make you discover 5 things you did not know about the original cartoon!
1) Mulan’s story is inspired by a folk song . Yes, you heard right. The cartoon is based on a popular song from the Northern Wei Dynasty, entitled “Mulan’s Stroll,” which sings the praises of a woman who disguises a man and poses as a soldier for nearly twelve years. At the end of the war, she simply returned home, refusing any reward.
2) Originally, the general was not Shang’s father . But they finally decided to change that affiliation to give Mulan more emotional weight . Like the heroine, Shang seeks above all to make the pride of his father and this is what gives him a touching touch.
3) The directors invited themselves into the cartoon . In the tower of the fireworks , at the end of Mulan , one can see two characters who have everything but the features of Chinese. It is actually the caricature of the film’s directors, Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook .
4) Mulan and Aladdin have something in common . Finally, Mulan and Jasmine more exactly. Yes, if you re-listen to the songs of the film, you will notice a rather similar tone of voice between the Arabic princess and the Chinese heroine. It’s normal, it’s the same singer who makes their voices: Lea Salonga! And that’s not all, since it is also the same actress who doubles their voices in French, Valerie Karsentin ( LOL, Babysitting 2 )!
5) It is the cartoon Disney that has the most deaths. Yes, if Disney clearly traumatized us with the death of Mufasa in The Lion King , or that of the mother of Bambi for the most sensitive, and other dead again, the carnage is not really the trademark of The house with big ears. Except for Mulan , who is a real hecatomb because of the Huns. We do not know the exact number of deaths, but we can bet on a good hundred.
Finally, little bonus, did you know that a locust is normally endowed with 6 legs whereas in Mulan, it has only 4? And that’s precisely why Mulan’s grandmother says he’s lucky! So, did you imagine that?
