The series of unfortunate events that led to the removal of Phil Lord and Chris Miller from Solo: A Star Wars Story have already become Hollywood legend, and now we hear that the directing duo have opted to take an Executive Producer credit on the Ron Howard directed film, which arrives in just 62 days time.
Variety cover their appearance at the third annual GLAS Animation Festival Friday where they spoke about Solo and their decision to take the Executive Producer credit.
While speaking at the third annual GLAS Animation Festival Friday in Berkeley, Calif., Phil Lord and Chris Miller revealed the credit they elected to take on “Solo: A Star Wars Story” after their shocking mid-production exit as directors of the movie last year.
The directors, who also helmed “The Lego Movie” and “21 Jump Street,” said they’re taking an executive producer credit on the “Star Wars” spinoff.
“We were really proud of the many contributions we made to that film,” Miller told the audience. “In light of the creative differences, we elected to take an executive producer credit.”
Ron Howard took the helm of directing the film once Lord and Miller left the project. The duo added that it wished everyone working on the film the best.
