Behind-The-Scenes Footage Of Solo: A Star Wars Story Shown At Russian Press Event

The first footage of Solo: A Star Wars Story – a behind-the-scenes reel – was just shown at a Russian press event. Could this mean that we’ll be seeing this same footage very soon, elsewhere?

 

According to Kinometro (hat tip to orange_jooze on Reddit), Disney and Sony showcased content from their upcoming movies as part of Kinorynok, a press event for Russian media. Amidst the movies discussed, it was noted that some behind-the-scenes footage of Solo was just revealed:

“The nearest release [from Disney] is the Lucasfilm project. Star Wars: The Last Jedi (December 14, 2017). At the presentation, the final trailer of the film was shown, which can already be seen in cinemas, as well as an exclusive video about the shooting of the film. A working clip about creating a picture with comments of actors and the director was presented and the future spin-off of the franchise – a solo film about Han Solo. It is scheduled for release on May 24, 2018.

Marketing for Solo: A Star Wars Story was always going to be weird due to it being released a mere five months after Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi . Disney has thus far opted not to advertise more than one Star Wars movie at the same time, unlike what they’ve done with Marvel (which is really just a series of interconnected brands as opposed to a single brand with separate eras of stories) – so it’s not surprising that the first look at the movie is going to be a behind-the-scenes video instead of a teaser. Disney allowed The Last Jedi to be delayed from May to December, and if that delay hadn’t happened, we’d likely have looked at a similar situation to the one that’s happening now with regard to the eighth part of the main franchise and Rogue One – and the company has shown absolutely no signs that it’s going to delay Han Solo at all.

 

What’s also worth noting is that fans who see The Last Jedi on Thursday night at the Opening Night Fan Event will get access to “exclusive content” according to Fandango. Putting two and two together here, does that mean that the bonus footage shown at these screenings will be the kind of stuff that was shown for journalists overseas? We’ll just have to see!

            I only do that because it works the same way on Reddit. Besides, at the end of the day, these are only imaginary points that don’t mean jack.

      He has a point. I mean, 5 months out from the film now. We haven’t seen anything. That’s new since 2015.

          Honestly, I’m still hoping that they Porg are the new Gizka of this film. I know my wife would love a ship crawing in those things.

    Please delay Solo to Christmas 2018 — that feels right to me.

      They already have Marry Poppins as their big holiday release next year. There not moving MP out of that holiday slot. It’s perfect for that time of year.

        Also, WB and Paramount have tentpoles in that release window. The reason SW has headed for December in the past few years is because everyone’s seeing movies and there’s minimal competition. Add competition there, and your profit margins on one of your biggest franchises shrink.

      Not happening now. At worst, it could be delayed to July or something – but they’re going full steam ahead on the film as of right now.

      I’m surprised that they wouldn’t push for the December release. Star Wars and Christmas have become synonymous for me in the past three years. It’ll be a shame to see that change. But then again I can’t wait to see this movie.

      Yeah same. I’m not a DCtard but I rarely get excited for an MCU movie, and i doubt they’re gonna actually make a movie that has consequences, emotion and story. Most of them are just crowd pleasers

        So…just like Star Wars?

          Star Wars has heart. It’s themes parallel our own lives./society. It’s escapism.

          The MCU movies are about as soulless as you can get. Add some chaos, and sprinkle it with some really bad comedy and bibidi babidi boo you have a marvel movie.

        Can we please stop putting tard at the end of something to pass it off as an insult? Please and thanks.

      It’s hard to get excited by yet another fist-fighting showdown between superheroes and a bland villain who wants to destroy earth.

        Exactly, i mean a few of the MCU films are great but i feel like most of them are just the same old boring story with new characters thrown in either as blatant fan-service or plot devices, i love the first Iron Man but ever since then i’ve struggled to retain any real interest in those films, they have no soul and they are filled with god awful cgi, terrible/crappy bad guys and repetitive gratuitous humor, but hey, everyone else seems to love that type of thing nowadays. SIGH.

    What a bland poster. And a bland title.

    And no, I don’t dislike this movie. I actually find it more intriguing than TLJ.

    Complain all you want about the movie, I don’t care.

    What I want is a Star Wars movie trailer on a Star Wars movie.

    I’d need new pants after wards, no matter what my thoughts are on the film.

      I hope it’s more fun than Rogue One, that movie without the Vader and K2SO scenes would be pretty boring…

    2018 is gonna be Star Wars mania. TLJ and SOLO.
