All the classic action heroes really Are returning for a final bout!
It was bound to happen eventually – especially after he agreed to bring back ‘The Man in the Hat’ for another round ("Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" opens in May). Harrison Ford has agreed to play the intergalactic smug smuggler, Han Solo, one more time.
“Han Solo”, based on a script by “Star Wars” veteran Carrie Fisher, will tell of the Space Pirate’s post-“Return of the Jedi” life – his rocky relationship with Leia, their mischievous Jedi-training twins, and principally, Solo’s ongoing battle with The Hutt’s, says BrokenDroid.com.
“Harrison has always said he wouldn’t do another Star Wars movie – particularly the sequels to Return of the Jedi”, says producer. “When we presented him an idea to star in a Han Solo movie though, that was different. This would be Solo’s story, not Luke [Skywalker’s] – and once we told him the story, he was in. But more so, Carrie Fisher wrote the first draft, and knocked it out of the park”.
Ford describes the film as “thrilling, but packed with adventure and still connected to the world George [Lucas] invented. Han is still his arrogant, cheeky self”.
Ford will begin work on “Han Solo” after completing the upcoming “What Lies Beneath” sequel. Fox has sked to film for a 2011 release. A director is yet to be announced.
