Two-time Oscar nominee Woody Harrelson tells The Hollywood Reporter he first learned that Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the directors of his new untitled Star Wars film, had been fired when he got a call from producer Allison Shearmur. He says, ?Alli gave me the word." Lord and Miller were let go mid-June, four months into production, because of what Lucasfilm noted were ?different creative visions on this film,? in which Harrelson plays the mentor to a young Han Solo. Harrelson is excited about Ron Howard coming aboard saying, "He's a wonderful guy."
