Cancelled Star Wars Movie Gets Another Tragic Update

Wait 5 sec.

This cancelled Star Wars movie cannot catch a break. Fans are still reeling, as news continues to trickle in about Lucasfilm's ill-fated Hunt for Ben Solo movie. The film was first revealed to the world last fall, as its central star, Adam Driver, described that the project had been in the works for some time before Disney gave it the ax. Driver would have led the post-sequel trilogy blockbuster, with Ocean's 11 director Steven Soderbergh at the helm. Soderbergh has been outspoken about his cancelled Star Wars film since its existence was confirmed. In a recent interview, however, the renowned filmmaker offered what might be the most tragic update on the title yet, describing just how much work went into the star-faring flick. Speaking with Brooklyn Magazine, Soderbergh broached the subject of The Hunt for Ben Solo, describing it as "two and a half years of free work:""No, it was no surprise that she was frustrated. We were all frustrated. You know, that was two and a half years of free work for me and Adam and Rebecca Blunt. When Adam and I discussed him talking about it publicly, I said, 'Look, do not editorialize or speculate about the why. Just say what happened, because all we know is what happened.'"
