Prune Shortage Halts Han Solo Production
IVER HEATH, UK — Reports are coming in from the set of the Han Solo solo film stating that production has been halted. Per the Weekly Planet, an insider claims that actor Woody Harrelson has refused to continue filming unless he is provided organic prunes. FSW can corroborate this story, as we have received a similar tip from our FSW France correspondent, Pierre.
According to an email received by the Weekly Planet, an intern was tasked with getting Mr. Harrelson some organic prunes during a break on set. The intern was specifically told to purchase organic prunes, but after returning from the nearby market, the intern presented Mr. Harrelson with regular prunes. After Mr. Harrelson took a bite of one of the prunes, he spit it out because he knew it was not organic. At this point, Mr. Harrelson left the set and would not return until the intern apologized and acquired some organic prunes. The incident was dubbed #Prunegate by the cast and crew.
The tip sent to FSW is very similar. A lighting tech has told FSW France that Mr. Harrelson had an outburst when co-star Donald Glover ate the last plum provided by craft services. Mr. Harrelson got into a yelling match with Mr. Glover and nearly escalated to the point of Mr. Glover leaving the project. Mr. Glover was talked down by director Chris Miller, which potentially saved the film. Co-director Phil Lord instructed Mr. Glover to apologize to Mr. Harrelson and filming was able to continue.
We reached out to Lucasfilm regarding the matter, but they had no comment.
What do you think about this debacle? Should Woody really be that upset about some prunes? Maybe he’s just getting into character for the film. Both FSW North America and FSW France still have high hopes for the film and you should too.
