I don't hope for anything hollywood-wise, I'll tell you straight up. I'm just a guy who grew up watching and falling in love with the star wars movie series, that's all I am. I'm 29, me and Anthony Ingruber 26 and Daniel Logan 28, I got to talk to these guys see if I can get a little group together and we can make a pitch to Lucasfilm about us coming together and knocking out the Han Solo film.
By God, would my life make all the sense in the world if I ever got to sit and fly the Falcon, I drew that ship all day in 3rd grade, I kid you not...
Badly drew it, since it's a tough damn ship to draw, but I tried, I tell ya...
But was just thinking about it on the long walk back from work, Bus doesn't come early on sunday, had to walk back to the metro north, longest walk of my lfie. Well I was thinking in my stupid head, who the hell else on this planet looks like Lando besides me. WHO? I mean, Lando IS basically what would happen if a black person and white person got busy and had a mixed kid. It's very very rare to find people like that, that's what makes his look so unique and his character infintely more interesting, because he's so ambiguous and handsome and other worldly.
I've pitched myself to Phil and Chris on Twitter, neither of them responded or gave a shit. I have tons of views on this blog of my constant lando positngs, one of them with over a hundred views. I think somebody up there has a clue that I'm knocking around in this world.
Now, will they be able to find other guys out there that look like billy dee in his early 20s? Of COURSE!!! But I'm a perfect match, every last inch of me. I'm like if the dude was cloned and came out of a machine fresh.
We'll see. I'm more eager to see this Han Solo stand alone than I am to see force awakens. I mean yeah I'm ridiclously excited for that film, but truly am curious as to who the hell they're going to find for Lando.
At the end of the day they have two options for Han, call up JTT see if he still wants to do movies for disney... done. Back up plan, call Anthony Ingruber, the dude is legitimately serious about wanting to play Han Solo, and I've told him to fight for it, don't back down. Because I don't think anyone gave a shit about Adeline personally. Playing Han will put his name on the map as a major star, not that movie.
As for Daniel Logan, the impressive thing to me is that he still is very actively cherishing his time playing Boba in Attack of the Clones. He's not really done anything else either, just relishes that character and experience. That's great and if there's any justice in this world he'll be allowed to play him in the Han Solo movie. He IS Boba Fett, both literally, and as a fanboy of Boba, he's the biggest one of us all. And he's actualy a great guy. Wish I knew him back when we were both kids... strangely I was just a year older than him when I went to go buy Attack of the Clones on DVD, so like we were having a fun time with that movie together, I was like WTF when he didn't show up in Revenge... made no sense to me. A lot about the prequels doesn't make sense sadly...
About the business sense. I'm looking out for lucasfilm's interests here when I say that. They are all about making the big bucks and I'm all aboard with that. I mean, let's work together on this, break bread. I'm willing to give you my mind, body, and soul, to get to the end of the line here and make a great movie, and a great big pile of money on top of it. I want kids to have a great time with this movie on the same level as the OT, that's my intention. I mean, like how when I was a kid, I went and watched ID, Lost in Space, or all this sweet 90s sci fi movies. The thing about them was how cool they were and had cool characters and cool action scenes. That's what the movie should be about, just jokes, and badass over the top star wars action, nothing more. No serious drama, this isn't going to be like the other movies. It's going to be jokes, and jokes, and gags, and fun.
At the end of the day, despite all the nonsense drama I've gotten into thanks to the microscope the internet puts on all our lives, I submit, that if they want to get paid, get paid big, let's work together and make that money. I'm all for it, plus I'm sick as hell of being poor... need to get paid, brother...
