It’s been two years for the reason that final time Adam Driver spoke publicly about Star Wars, which isn’t actually shocking contemplating how a lot the actor enjoys doing the press excursions for his motion pictures (*heavy sarcasm.*) However, Driver lately had a chat with CNN’s Chris Wallace about his choice to hitch the Star Wars franchise 10 years in the past (time flies!) and in addition his time on set filming the important thing scene from The Force Awakens the place Kylo Ren kills Han Solo.
When requested how he felt concerning the concept of being part of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Driver stated:
“I took it actually significantly and thought of it rather a lot. I used to be very on the fence. I used to be conscious that it was a fantastic alternative and I didn’t need to be in it and be dangerous. Lots of people have been gonna watch it, I used to be a fan of these motion pictures…”
Wallace then introduced up the scene the place Kylo Ren kills his legendary father, Han Solo, Driver recalled what it was like figuring out that scene was coming after which capturing it:
“Yeah, anyone jogs my memory about [having killed Harrison Ford] each day. Well, it was once extra [frequently], now it’s in all probability extra like as soon as a month.
I keep in mind capturing that day and it didn’t really feel like that in any respect, clearly. John Williams wasn’t taking part in within the background. And it was very emotional, truly, capturing it with Harrison. Harrison was so beneficiant and contemplative. To me, that was a fantastic second on set, regardless that it was his loss of life.”
Adam Driver is at present selling Ferrari, which debuts in North American theaters on Christmas Day. That doesn’t essentially imply we’ll get extra Star Wars speak from him within the coming weeks after all, as he’s been working regularly over the previous few years and solely does interviews often, and much more not often talks about his flip as Kylo Ren.
Next within the pipeline, he has Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis and is reportedly in negotiations to star in Michael Mann’s Heat 2. Will he return as Kylo Ren/Ben Solo sooner or later? At this level, it appears extraordinarily unlikely. Putting apart Driver’s personal apprehensions about coming again to a job that had a definitive ending, the one place for such a return could be within the New Jedi Order-era movie starring Daisy Ridley — a narrative that Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy has stated won’t characteristic many Force Ghosts. So don’t maintain your breath for extra Ben Solo simply but.

His favourite film of all time is The Lord of the Rings, however he’s additionally an enormous Star Wars fan. However, fantasy motion pictures aren’t his solely cup of tea, as motion pictures from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he began to grasp the language of filmmaking.
