Woody Harrelson on Star Wars, Jack Nicholson and Having Trust Issues #HanSoloEvent

May 25, 2018May 25, 2018 by Andrew Kardon

Woody Harrelson doesn’t trust me. The prolific actor has come quite a long way from his bartending days on TV’s Cheers. He’s been in dozens upon dozens of popular films, including huge properties like The Hunger Games. But none have had quite the legacy and fan base as Star Wars. Harrelson plays Tobias Beckett, a rouge. An outlaw. A thief. But if Han Solo’s taught us anything, it’s that being a scoundrel doesn’t make you a …

Joonas Suotamo SOLO #HanSoloEvent Chewbacca

With a heart as big as his shoe size, Joonas Suotamo was clearly born to play Chewbacca. The nearly seven-foot tall actor took over the mantle of Han Solo’s famous Wookiee sidekick with Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

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. The former Opie Taylor from The Andy Griffith Show and Richie Cunningham of Happy Days blossomed into an incredible award winning director. Apollo 13. A Beautiful Mind. The Da Vinci Code. Cinderella Man. Parenthood. And his latest out-of-the-galaxy hit, SOLO: A Star Wars Story. No, Ron Howard most certainly is talented. It’s just that he’s also so darn likable! When …

He may play one of the greatest scoundrels of all time, but Alden Ehrenreich is every bit as nice as he is humble.
