Earlier this week it had been reported the reshoots about the upcoming Star Wars spin-off Solo: A Star Wars Story were so extensive that approximately 80 percent with the movie may have been filmed again by replacement director Ron Howard. Now, co-star Thandie Newton has spoken regarding the situation and suggested that far more from the footage filmed by original director Phil Lord and Chris Miller are going to be included from the final film.In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Westworld star Newton asserted very few of her scenes were reshot. "Apart from your initial shock and SWTOR Credits feeling damaging [Lord and Miller] not being competent to finish their work, their effort is everywhere within it," she said. "Ninety percent of my stuff has been them. And it certainly wasn't about, 'Oh we should start again and do everything over.'"Newton went through to speak about Howard taking on from Lord and Miller, who had been fired on the production in June, and described Solo like a "collaboration" totally."I love Phil and Chris--everybody loves Phil and Chris--they're so brilliant," she said. "Ron along with the guys were conversing with each other. As far as I'm concerned what's on-screen, inside the end, will go to be an incredible collaboration. It's an enormous piece. We see frequently now you will find two directors focusing on pictures. We already had two with Phil and Chris. Now there's three."With a project that way where it is just a vision which has been created over a lot of years, that's so expansive, I think it's less about things going wrong than getting good help to bring it in to the best position Star Wars the Old Republic Credits it may be in. I really like Ron though, he's very sweet. And [the film is] dope; it's very cool!"Even should the reshoots were less extensive than initially thought, there is certainly no doubt how the length of Howard's production was far longer versus the few weeks of reshoots which are initially suggested. Production recommenced in June and didn't finish until mid-October. In addition, the scale on the reshoots meant that at the very least one role was required to be recast, with Paul Bettany replacing Michael K. Williams.Solo: A Star Wars Story stars Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo and Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca, with Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian. Woody Harrelson, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Emilia Clarke also star. It hits theaters on May 25, 2018.
