The magical world of George Lucas’ “ Willow ,” the epic fantasy adventure set in an age of swords, sorcery, myths and monsters, will be returning in a Disney+ series slated to begin production next year.  Jon M. Chu (“In The Heights,” “Crazy Rich Asians”) is set to direct the pilot, and will serve as executive producer along with showrunners Jonathan Kasdan (“Solo”) and Wendy Mericle (“Arrow”). Jonathan Kasdan wrote the pilot.   “Growing up in the ’80s, ‘Willow’ has had a profound effect on me,” says Chu. “The story of the bravest heroes in the least likely places allowed me, an Asian-American kid growing up in a Chinese restaurant looking to go to Hollywood, to believe in the power of our own will, determination and of course, inner magic. So the fact that I get to work with my heroes from Kathleen Kennedy to Ron Howard is bigger than a dream come-true. It’s a bucket-list moment for me. Jon Kasdan and Wendy Mericle have added such groundbreaking new characters and delig...

After a lengthy and eventful shoot (which started way back in January, saw the original directors removed, and a new one installed), the Han Solo Star Wars spin-off movie has finally finished filming. And it no longer goes by the snappy working title of Untitled Han Solo Star Wars Spin-off Movie. In a characteristic bit of social media engagement, director Ron Howard posted a video revealing the official title (with help from a wookiee pal) as Solo: A Star Wars Story. Hey #Twitterville we just wrapped production so here's a special message #StarWars pic.twitter.com/8QJqN5BGxr — Ron Howard (@RealRonHoward) October 17, 2017 The title is perhaps the second-least surprising name for a Star Wars story centering around a character named Han Solo, but a proper title certainly makes things feel more official – while the 'Star Wars Story' element keeps it on brand with last year's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story . The film now dives headfirst into months of post-prod...

There have been changes big and small for the Han Solo Star Wars spin-off movie, the most notable being Ron Howard coming in to direct after the dismissal of Phil Lord and Chris Miller . Now there is word that Michael K. Williams ' character won't make the final cut. Williams was added to play a mysterious – and still unknown – character in March of this year. The reason? Pesky scheduling. "When Ron Howard got hired to finish out the film, there were some reshoot issues that needed to be done in regards to my character, in order for it to match the new direction which the producers wanted Ron to carry the film in," Williams tells Deadline. "And that would have required me on a plane a month ago to London, to Pinewood, to do reshoots. But I’m here, on location in Africa (for Red Sea Diving Resort). It’s scheduling. I’m not going to be back on the market until the end of November, and for them to wait that long for me, that would have pushed back the release dat...

Can Tom Hanks and Ron Howard resurrect Robert Langdon in Inferno ? Review by Matt Cummings For a film series that inexplicably took seven years off, Dan Brown's controversial The da Vinci Code franchise - if it could be labeled that - it's assumed that the newest entry Inferno would come at us full of codes, history, and deep conspiracies. Unfortunately, we get a muddled mess that diminishes the main character's cryptographic genius and reminds us of a world that seems eerily similar to Brown's. Harvard professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) awakens in an Italian hospital with amnesia and deep cut on his head, prone to fits of horrifying visions about an oncoming apocalypse filled with historical themes and deadly characters. But before he gain his senses, he's instantly the target of a shadowy organization, forcing Doctor Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones) to assist with his escape. Langdon soon realizes that his possession of an ancient painting is a ...

Zelda Fitzgerald , novelist, socialite and wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, has been brought to the screen numerous times in fictional portrayals. Now there is a plan to tell her story in a more direct biopic and Jennifer Lawrence is attached to portray her in a film that Ron Howard may direct. The film, currently known simply as Zelda , is being developed by former Lionsgate executive-turned-producer Allison Shearmur (who helped push Lawrence's career into the stratosphere with the Hunger Games movies) alongside Brian Oliver and Justine Ciarrocchi. The White Queen's Emma Frost has written the script, drawing inspiration from Nancy Milford's biography, also called Zelda. Howard hasn't definitely agreed to direct, but he's involved with the development and certainly seems to be interested. Lawrence will next be seen in sci-fi story Passengers (out 23 December) and has also worked on Darren Aronofsky's latest, untitled movie, which has yet to confirm a releas...

In the Heart of the Sea should have stayed in port. Review by Matt Cummings In a time when superhero movies and the revisiting of our childhood brains the box office into submission, In the Heart of the Sea was supposed to arrive as a powerful and refreshing period alternative. But much like the rest of 2015's Oscar driftwood, this tale of an intelligent whale beating inferior men feels uninspiring in many parts and leaves the audience knowing exactly why blockbusters are currently ruling the day. Told from two different perspectives, the story behind Moby Dick is uncovered as an aging survivor (Brendan Gleeson) reveals his harrowing tale to the writer Herman Melville (Ben Wishaw). There, the veteran seaman Owen Chase (Chris Hemsworth) has braved 19th Century whaling as a quick way to earn a captainship while providing for his growing family. Situated in Nantucket - the home of the industry during that time - the need for whale oil couldn't be higher. Unfort...
