Despite not being that far away from release, Solo: A Star Wars Story has still kind of managed to creep up on us, as there's been a bit of mystery surrounding the film, and now the Wall Street Journal has reported (as brought to us by ScreenCrush) that producer Kathleen Kennedy wasn't happy with how Phil Lord and Chris Miller - the directors who left the project - were shooting the film, with the pair allegedly deviating from the script.

The pair allegedly "exhausted and frustrated some on the Solo set, including experienced crew members who pressured the directors to move faster," and apparently this meant that Ron Howard - who joined in the middle of the project - shot a lot of it, as much as 70% in fact.

"Ron wanted to go back to the spirit of the original trilogy, while Phil and Chris were looking forward to something new, more like Guardians of the Galaxy," one source said.

Do you have high hopes for the film?
