Principal photography has officially begun on the untitled Han Solo “Star Wars” film at Pinewood Studios, London. The production shared the above photo of the film’s full starring cast, including, of course, Donald Glover as one Lando Calrissian; notably absent is Thandie Newton who was previously said to be “in talks” to join the project, but she’s now officially a cast member given today’s press announcement that includes her name as part of the cast.

The movie will explore Han’s adventures before the events of “Star Wars: A New Hope,” including their early encounters with that other card-playing rogue from a galaxy far, far away, Lando.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are directing the movie, with a cast that includes Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, Donald Glover as one Lando Calrissian, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Thandie Newton, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, with Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca.

By the way, Academy Award nominee (for his work on ‘Arrival’) Bradford Young is the Director of Photography on the film, as he continues to add big budget studio productions to his resume.

“Watching such inspired people from all over the world, with such unique voices, come together for the sole purpose of making art, is nothing short of miraculous,” Lord and Miller said. “We can’t think of anything funny to say, because we just feel really moved, and really lucky.”

Written by Lawrence and Jon Kasdan, it will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Allison Shearmur, Simon Emanuel, and co-produced by Kiri Hart, Susan Towner, and Will Allegra. Lawrence Kasdan and Jason McGatlin will executive produce.

The untitled Han Solo “Star Wars” film is slated for release on May 25, 2018.
