The Hunt for Ben Solo (48:45)
Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh denied follow up Star Wars movie by Disney execs
Film was written, finalized, and ready to go with a proposed start date before being rejected by Alan Bergman and Bob Iger.
Details revealed by Adam Driver:
“I always was interested in doing another ‘Star Wars,'” Driver said on Monday. “I had been talking about doing another one since 2021. Kathleen [Kennedy] had reached out. I always said: With a great director and a great story, I’d be there in a second. I loved that character and loved playing him.”
“We presented the script to Lucasfilm. They loved the idea. They totally understood our angle and why we were doing it. It was called ‘The Hunt for Ben Solo’ and it was really cool. We took it to Bob Iger and Alan Bergman and they said no. They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that.”
Details confirmed by Steven Soderbergh:
“Sources close to the project emphasize that this was not a loose concept or early pitch. The film, operating under the codename Quiet Leaves, had a finalized screenplay and was entering early prep and staffing stages. Disney purchased a fully developed treatment and beat sheet, developed by Soderbergh and screenwriter Rebecca Blunt (the pseudonym for Jules Asner, Soderbergh’s wife, who also wrote Logan Lucky]), and hired Scott Z. Burns—who was paid more than any screenwriter in Lucasfilm history—to complete the screenplay.
According to insiders, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and Carrie Beck were directly involved throughout development and were reportedly enthusiastic about the drafts that came in. Kennedy and the Star Wars Story Group waited until the project was ‘ready to shoot’ before they presented it to Disney. When the final script, budget, and proposed start date were delivered to Disney, it marked the first time Lucasfilm had ever presented a fully approved project that did not move forward.”
Fans have paid for a “Save #TheHuntForBenSolo” banner to fly over Walt Disney Studios in Burbank and also a digital billboard in Times Square
