This week, a aircraft soared over the corporate’s Burbank places of work carrying a banner that learn, “Shareholders Need The Hunt for Ben Solo.”
The message was aimed squarely at Disney management, a high-flying plea for a movie that followers refuse to let fade away.
Again in October, Driver revealed that he and filmmaker Steven Soderbergh had been growing the film, which might have taken place after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The movie was set to discover Ben Solo’s story past his demise within the sequel trilogy.
Soderbergh and screenwriter Rebecca Blunt had crafted an idea that reportedly impressed Lucasfilm. To take it even additional, Scott Z. Burns was introduced in to write down the screenplay.
Driver stated of the script: “One of many coolest (expletive) scripts I had ever been part of.” He went on to say: “They liked the concept. They completely understood our angle and why we had been doing it.”
Sadly, enthusiasm and a greenlight at Lucasfilm wasn’t sufficient. When the undertaking reached Disney’s higher-ups, Bob Iger and Alan Bergman reportedly turned it down.
“They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive,” Driver stated. “And that was that.”
However for Star Wars followers, that wasn’t that. Since Driver’s feedback, the fandom has organized artistic campaigns to maintain the dream alive.
Posters that includes Ben Solo’s face have popped up in cities like New York and Los Angeles, styled as “lacking individual” flyers. The aerial banner is just the most recent, and most seen, gesture on this motion.
Even weeks after the preliminary reviews, pleasure for The Hunt for Ben Solo hasn’t cooled off. Some followers simply aren’t able to let go of the character or his story. Will any of this truly work? Will this push Disney to make the movie? Most likely not.
