SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Is Set For A Surprise Screening At The Cannes Film Festival On April 15
Well, this is a surprise! Reports are coming in that Ron Howard's Solo: A Star Wars Story will screen at the Cannes Film Festival a full week before its scheduled premiere in LA. More past the jump...
Looks like we'll be getting those initial reactions to Solo: A Star Warts Story a little sooner than expected, as the iconic space-smuggler's origin tale is set to premiere at The Cannes Film Festival later this month.
According to Deadline, Ron Howard's prequel film will screen on April 15, a week before its scheduled red carpet premiere in LA and 10 days before it goes on general release.
This will be the first time a Star Wars flick has screened at Cannes since 2005's Revenge of the Sith played out of competition at the festival.
