Going Solo IV: Howard

On a dark summer night on the set of American Graffiti, Ron
Howard asked George Lucas what film he wanted to do next. Lucas
was shy with details, but he said it was sort of a Buck Rogers
film with Stanley Kubrick special effects, but really, really
fast.


Both Howard and Lucas would go onto wildly successful directorial
careers, but while George Lucas was stuck in a galaxy far far
away, Howard became a journeyman, directing all styles, genres
and budgets. When Solo: A Star Wars Story needed a steady pair of
hands to take over and get the now director-less film onto
screens in just 11 months, Howard was one of the few directors
with the experience, technical skill and clout to pull it off.


Howard’s version of Solo was always going to be a compromise. But
by picture lock, very little of anyone’s vision remained. Join us
for the breakneck conclusion of Going Solo.
