Remember how we learned Steven Soderbergh was attached to direct a standalone Star Wars movie, The Hunt for Ben Solo? Well, Adam Driver is still pretty upset that Disney passed on it, telling the AP…
“For me it was: Steven Soderbergh wants to make a ‘Star Wars’ film,” Driver said. “What are we debating?”
Driver continued, “It’s what it is. It’s criminal. Or it felt criminal. We’re all moving on. On to the next. And Steven already has something else that’s one of the best things he’s ever written.”
Oh, you don’t say? Driver, who is making the rounds promoting James Gray’s Paper Tiger (review here), has worked with Soderbergh once before on 2017’s Logan Lucky. Soderbergh also produced The Report, which Driver starred in for director Scott Z. Burns. While he didn’t outright confirm his attachment, why else would he be bringing it up?
Soderbergh is currently helping Matt Reeves out on The Batman: Part II, with a few weeks of shooting left. So anything he has coming up will have to wait a little while, probably deep into next year.
