Woody Harrelson will play in the film of the saga galactic “Star Wars” on the youth of Han Solo, the pilot maverick, who helps Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker fighting the evil Empire, announced on Wednesday the production company.
A cast of choice. The actor texan of 55 years, who has played in big productions such as The Hunger Games, was nominated for an academy award for Larry Flynt and the acclaimed hit series such as True Detective or Cheers. After the release of Lucasfilm, the production house created by George Lucas, the director of the first two trilogies “Star Wars”, he will join the actors Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo), Donald Glover (Lando Calrissian), and Emilia Clarke.
“A depth” and a “range game” enviable. This “spin-off” is “the second in a series of films to take place outside of the adventures of the family Skywalker, and occurs at the time of the trials and tribulations of these mythical characters of the time of their youth, before the time” of the first episode of the saga, “Episode IV : A new hope” (released in 1977).
“We could not be more pleased to be working with an artist of such depth and such a wide range of game”, commented Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the two directors of the film, which still has no title. “His ability to find humor and pathos, often in the same roles, is truly unique. It is also very good at ping-pong”, they added.
A planned release in 2018. This second “spin-off”, after Rogue One, released in December and has already accumulated more than $ 900 million of revenue in the world, is expected to arrive in cinemas at the end of 2018, after that “Episode VIII” in December of this year. Lucasfilm has been sold to entertainment giant Disney in 2012 for $ 4 billion.
