Solo: A Star Wars Story shuts down Hollywood Boulevard
Solo: A Star Wars Story is taking over Hollywood, shutting down the famous Hollywood Boulevard in the process — Red Carpet Premiere dropping tonight!
Traffic in LA is bonkers, but it’s about to get a lot more wild with the closing Hollywood Boulevard for the premiere of the latest installment of the Star Wars Saga, Solo: A Star Wars Story. The Boulevard will be filled with the glamorous stars of the film instead of the usual honking cars and tourists in jorts.
Apparently, the premiere is going to be such a fantastically huge event that it will take up three full theatres along Hollywood Boulevard. The three theatres involved in the event are the El Capitan, the TCL Chinese, and the Dolby.
Among the stars of the film and expected attendees are:
- Alden Ehrenreich as the smuggler and scruffy nerf herder: Han Solo
- Donald Glover as the smooth and stylish: Landon Calrissian
- Woody Harrelson as Han Solo’s jaded mentor: Tobias Beckett
- Emilia Clark (Game of Thrones) as Han Solo’s childhood friend: Qi’Ra
- Paul Bettany as the disfigured main villain: Dryden Vos
- Thandie Newton (Westworld) as the calm, cool, and collected: Val
- Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Amazon’s Fleabag) as Lando’s no-nonsense droid: L3-37
- Joonas Suotamo as the “mighty” Chewbacca
- Ian Kenny (Game of Thrones) playing an unnamed role in the film
For all of us fellow scruffy looking nerf herders and scoundrels, Solo: A Star Wars Story drops in theatres May 25, 2018, worldwide — punch it, Chewie!
