5 Things I Learned About Paul Bettany’s Role in SOLO: A Star Wars Story

May 22, 2018 by Andrew Kardon

British-born actor Paul Bettany is one lucky guy. For starters, he’s British so he has that really cool accent. Then there’s the fact that he’s married to actress Jennifer Connelly. He also gave voice to Tony Stark’s computer called J.A.R.V.I.S. in the Iron Man and Avengers films, followed up by embracing the role of Vision. Yet being in the biggest blockbuster of the summer, Avengers: Infinity War, apparently wasn’t enough for Bettany. He also went …

Director Ron Howard on Dinosaurs, the Complexity of Star Wars and Turning Down SOLO

May 21, 2018 by Andrew Kardon

Ron Howard should not be in Hollywood. It’s not that he isn’t talented. Far from it.

Cast in the role of a young Han Solo, the Los Angeles-born actor had some pretty big shoes to fill for his lead role in SOLO: A Star Wars Story opening May 25, 2018. As part of a #HanSoloEvent experience, myself and 24 bloggers had the opportunity to sit down with Ehrenreich …

Bring Friends or Go SOLO, This is One Star Wars Story You Don’t Want to Miss

May 15, 2018 by Andrew Kardon

I’ll admit. I honestly was a little skeptical when I saw the first trailer for SOLO: A Star Wars Story. I already had my reservations, as I’m not a big fan of prequels simply for the fact that they remove the threat of uncertain death from the film. I mean, we know Han Solo ends up meeting Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi at the Cantina Bar on Tatooine in Star Wars: A New Hope. …
