Outside of the central Star Wars movies, the only Anthology standalone in full swing is Gareth Edwards' Rogue One that's currently shooting in London. The second spinoff is said to focus on Han Solo, with Chris Miller and Phil Lord recently locked in to direct. Now, thanks to new intel from Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, we know just how far back this origin tale intends to go:
“He’ll definitely be probably in the high teens, low 20s,” Kennedy told EW. “We’re not introducing you to a 10-year-old Han Solo... I think the key here is that we are identifying an event or events in Han Solo’s life that gives you some idea of who he is and why he is the character we have all known to love."
She added: "You can imagine, given who we’ve chosen to come in and direct, it should be very entertaining and funny. Han Solo is the character inside Star Wars that everybody knows has a wit and sense of humor. So that’s what this should be."
Kennedy also volunteered some information on the third Anthology film, which is rumored to be a Boba Fett spinoff. Josh Trank was originally in line to direct, until the disastrous Fantastic Four production saw him exit the movie. That's not to say it's been put out to pasture: the current plan is to find another filmmaker to replace him.
“It’s still one of the stories that we absolutely want to tell,” says Kennedy. “There is a lot of innovative technology in and around what it is we’re doing with that story, so for a lot of reasons, we were comfortable postponing that. But we’re definitely still developing it... We’re trying to get to a point where we’re never rushing for anything.”
The third anthology film has now been yanked from its 2017 release date, although Kennedy says it's more likely pursuing a 2020 opening. Rogue One opens on December 16, 2016 with the Han Solo film slated for release on May 25, 2018.

Nightmare City synopsis
Long before zombies took up jogging in 28 Days Later and Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake, they were brandishing axes and other sharp implements in Umberto Lenzi’s utterly insane radiation-sickness opus Nightmare City.
In true Zombie Flesh Eaters form, our story begins with the arrival of an ominous, seemingly unmanned craft – in this instance, a military plane making an unscheduled landing at a European airport. Upon forcing the aircraft doors open, the waiting soldiers get a nasty shock when out bursts a horde of flesh-hungry, pizza-faced radioactive ghouls. The walking dead are here, and they’re hungry!
Counting amongst its fans the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth, Nightmare City (aka City of the Walking Dead) is a bonkers slice of Italian zombie carnage from the man who shocked the world with the notorious Cannibal Ferox.
Madman synopsis
Gather around the campfire, and hear the tale of Madman Marz: an ill-tempered old farmer who, one dark night, chopped up his wife and two children into pieces. When the locals caught wind of his heinous crime, they meted out revenge – sinking an axe into his head and hanging him from a nearby tree. But the next day, Marz’s body was gone…
Thus the camp counsellor finishes his tale, closing with the warning never to say Marz’s name above a whisper, lest the hideously-deformed farmer comes looking for them… Naturally, of course, the first thing that one of the young campers does is to call out Marz’s name – precipitating a terrifying night of murder, mayhem and sexy Jacuzzi vignettes!
Inspired by the same Cropsey urban legend which informed its slasher peer The Burning, Madman stands as one of the very best of the camp-based terror flicks and was a clear influence on Hatchet, Adam Green’s love letter to the slasher genre.
A German goth metal band Child Of Caesar have just released a music video "Defector".

Kassad and it was shot in Tones & Tunes Studios, Oberhausen, Germany. Album "Love In Black" was released in June by Inverse Records.
