At least you can talk. Who are you?
is that a wrong link in the OP or am I missing a joke?
and does this mean they're starting all over again?

Ron Howard has got to be one of the most overrated directors at Hollywood. He might even top the list.
Not starting over, but expect the five weeks of reshoots to balloon quite a bit.
Also, OP: Your link isn't THR, it's to a random Imgur picture (?????)

I thought it was a mutual split. They were fired?
I mean, he's a capable and professional director.
That's about the most I can say for him.

So, does this means that Hans Zimmer is doing the music? He works on everything Howard does.
[Voice over] He isn't.

What a step down. They should have let lord and miller finish their movie even if it was going to suck.
Yes.
They've been filming this for sixth months. They're what, three weeks away from finishing?
No, they will not be starting from scratch.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Huh? Haven't they only done like 4 movies? Two animated and 2 Jump Street? Howard has some clunkers, but he's been in the game for decades. Plus, this is gonna be whatever it is now. This isn't a director stepping in during pre-production. This movie is like 80% filmed already

If it came down to Lord/Miller and Larry Kasdan, there was only going to be one winner. I was excited to see their version of the movie but I can see why they would make a change if it was heading too far into Jump Street territory.
Are you saying that sometimes directors do movies just for the pay check? I for one am shocked!

This doesn't suddenly become a Ron Howard Movie now
This is cleanup.
It probably won't. Howard will knock whatever Lord & Miller's shot into the shape Kasdan prefers, and shoot new shit to make it fit together.

Wrong.
Every great director has made a couple bad movies.
Even Frances Ford Coppola.

So its stil going to hit May? Crazy..
To those saying that the movie is like 80 percent done, I fully expect that they'll reshoot a lot of what was already done, if for no other reason than to fully present a case to the DGA that this is a Ron Howard film now and not a Lord and Miller picture.
It'll get pushed back to December.

Clean up of what could have been a fun movie but now it is possibly "on brand".
Gee willikers!

Unless they bump this shit back to December and order something way more substantial than 6 weeks of reshoots, he doesn't have enough time.
yup.
A man can dream of an Arrested Development Star Wars, can't he?

Yeah, this has been a Disney movie from the start and it'll stay that way.
Lynch still has Star Wars PTSD from his car ride and salad with George Lucas back in the day.

I'm not a fan of his (well, except for Arrested Development of course) but this is a safe choice I guess, he'll polish this into something that'll make Lucasfilm happy.
But I'm more curious as to what's in it for him. I mean, yes, he's had a few bombs lately but his name still carries a lot of weight in Hollywood and I'm surprised that he would accept to finish somebody else's movie. It's not like he's hurting for money and I'm pretty sure he could still get another project greenlighted fairly easily.
I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened.

That's still a pretty comfortable amount of time for them. Not ideal, but still doable. Rogue One was getting down to the wire with shoots happening in September/October (iirc), but they managed to get it in for the December release.
Then again, that's assuming nothing else is gonna happen with this movie on the production side of things.
What about that race movie?
That's honestly what I'm expecting. Bump back to December and the 5 weeks becomes something like 2-4 months.
I mean, they fired Lord and Miller for a reason... how much work is Howard going to have to put in to make this the film Disney wanted?

seriously
The movie would have been amazing with Lord and Miller, but now, it'll just be "eh, I guess it was alright", and will promptly be forgotten.
But it's Star Wars and Disney, so it'll still make a fuckton of money I guess, vindicating Disney's decision to fire two of the best directors in Hollywood right now.
