Steven Soderbergh has expressed deep frustration over Disney's rejection of his proposed Star Wars sequel, The Hunt for Ben Solo, which would have starred Adam Driver. The project, developed for over two years with Lucasfilm's support, was scrapped because executives doubted Ben Solo's survival. Fans have since launched campaigns to revive it.
Writer-producer Ed Solomon attended the Sonoma International Film Festival for a screening of his film 'The Christophers,' which won the Stolman Audience Award for Best Film. The dramedy, directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel, drew praise during a post-screening Q&A. Solomon shared insights on its creation and his aversion to watching his own work with audiences.
