"He is a good guy. Yea I mean I think maybe the way to think about it is there are many possible lives that Richard could have had. 99 out of 100 of them would have him be a good member of society, a good friend. Had he been allowed to grow up without this thing happening. And that’s the tragedy of the film. But he does have a certain darkness in him as well and that comes from having incredibly high expectations for himself. So if he lets himself down at all he can’t handle that."
Deadline
Jack Reynor, James Franco, Zoe Kravitz, and Dennis Quaid will star in Kin, a sci-fi action thriller that Jonathan and Josh Baker will direct based on their short film Bag Man. Daniel Casey wrote the script and 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen will produce with Jeff Arkuss, David Gross and Jesse Shapira, whose No Trace Camping produced the Best Picture nominated Room. While the focus at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival is finished films, Kin will be shopped there by WME Global and Good Universe. WME Global put the financing together for an October 24 start date.

Chewie, we’re almost home.
The search for the young actor who will fill Han Solo's leather vest could be in its final stages, as multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that a shortlist quietly has emerged.
Taron Egerton - Awful Choice
Jack Reynor - Wouldn't Mind
Alden Ehrenreich - Good match
However I'm still ticked off they've never once mentioned Anthony Ingruber. Seriously perfect casting, he looks like Harrison Ford, sounds like him, he's young I just don't get it. Instead they'd rather get another not as known actor.
Least Anthony Ingruber he'd also be cheap aswell
I haven't seen in any major roles, but he does a really good Han Solo impression.

I could see him pulling it off.
Yeah that's the question, I thought he did a great job playing a young Harrison Ford in Age of Adaline but it was such a tiny role it's hard to tell if he has the acting skills.
I have a feeling this will play out exactly like it did for Daisy Ridley's casting – no one on the famous people's "short-list" makes it at all and we get a total unknown that no one saw coming. I would hope that would be Anthony InGruber, but I'm not holding my breath.
The problem with Anthony Ingruber is that it sort of falls into impersonation more than acting. I'm for Alden Ehrenreich; I think he holds a bit of a resemblance in smile without being obvious. Taron Egerton and Jack Reynor just seem like cookie-cutters; there's just no 'it' factor.
Id usually agree about people like Ingruber but this smAtar Wars we are taking about. I'm not talking smack as I'm a huge fan aswell but none of the leads have ever required Oscar winning performances. We hold the original trilogy on such a high pedestal that we forget that Mark Hamill wasn't that great of an actor at the time. And neither was Hayden Watshizface (not helping my cause I know). Anthony Ingurber did perfectly fine in Age of Adelaine, with a bit of work he can get to the level he needs to be.
**** THE FORCE AWAKENS SPOILER ALERT*****
The reason TFA was such a hit with fans was it's sense of continuity. Seeing fan favorites like Leia and Chewie back while giving closure to Han Solo. Whoever plays Han Solo going forward needs to capture Han's personality to a T!
I agree with you in regards to the lack of star power at the time of the original movie, but this isn't starting from scratch now. Those movies came from thin air, whereas now it's an established franchise and Harrison Ford's portrayal is just iconic, which is why a full-on impersonation shouldn't be the basis, which is why I think Ingruber isn't being considered as some have complained here. I'd just like someone to make it their own without reinventing it, which is why I think Alden Ehrenreich would be solid. The other two names floated before just seem like cookie-cutters and I don't think they'd be able to make it their own or as iconic for another generation. They just sort of look generic. Ehrenreich stands out more.
Lmao, if only we could be so lucky. It would be the next best thing to not doing this movie at all!
They really SHOULD have CG on Leia though, hasn't aged well, especially the voice. (no offense, love Carrie Fisher). I really just didn't expect to hear that voice come out.
Even more disturbing was the amount of plastic surgery Carrie Fischer has had. I don't think I saw her face make an expression once.
Variety
Sources tell Variety that after seeing thousands of actors, execs have cut the list down to about a dozen actors with Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Jack Reynor, Scott Eastwood, Logan Lerman, “Brooklyn” star Emory Cohen and “Everybody Wants Some” actor Blake Jenner among the names making the cut.
in truth, i don't want this movie to be made at all and if it has to happen, then i really don't want teller in that role. maybe scott eastwood. personally i would prefer chris pratt.
Go watch Jurassic World. He could pull off Han, though he's too old for a film taking place with such a young Han.
I know that... You're the one who recommended him in your original comment... Lol
i know. i'm just saying that i think he's a great actor and could pull it off is all
I can imagine Pratt as Indiana Jones but not as Han Solo, and being in 2 different franchises owned by Disney that are set in space and all that stuff, wouldn't be good
I think Chris Pratt would be a great Han Solo and Indiana Jones. Something about him reminds me of a younger Harrison Ford.
Miles Teller...the guy who has a face you want to punch and not because of his smug, arrogant attitude. Then you have Dave Franco, hey he's alright in somethings but he'd be an awful Han.
Some of these are far too young and baby faced while the others don't look anything like Han.
Where the hell is Anthony Ingruber, perfect choice.
I'm sorry but he's just got one of those faces along with his smug attitude when talking in interviews.
Plus he's not a very good actor.
It isn't just Foxtrot on this 1. I have to agree that every time Teller is on screen I just want to hit him. He just looks like the world's most smug twat!
C'mon it's gotta be Shia LaBeouf they can go blast those aliens from crystal skull in hives of scum and villany! It'll be great lol

Disney buying Star Wars was one of the worst things to ever happen to the franchise. And thats considering the prequels ahich somehow look like masterpieces compared to this joke of a movie they just churned out.
Lucas is the worst thing to happen to Star Wars after he lost his dream team of actors who don't bow down and utter any insane line Lucas would have them read, the special effects gurus that made the visuals possible in the first place and the actual conceptual artists to bring the universe into reality, whether or not Lucas was the one who had final say what made the final cut. The musical genius is also independent of Lucas, John Williams is simply an amazingly talented composer. The audio effects people are wizards as well.
Lucas had an idea with SOME great, though sparingly novel, components, THOSE people above made it all actually happen, end of story.
Who cares about all that? All i know is this thing they call a movie hat just came out is the worst iteration to date.
