From Darkhorizons, 'Too often filmmakers go on about the size of their movies and, like most teenage boys, it always seems to be the 'bigger is better' school of thinking that rules the day.I would've pegged George Lucas in that category, but talking with MTV this week he actually made some good sense when it came time to hyping up the fourth "Indiana Jones" flick, and in the process took a little dig at MI3's somewhat disappointing opening - "I think Tom Cruise proved that people are getting bored with that kind of stuff. What they want to see is something different. And 'Indiana Jones,' if nothing else, is always different".
Lucas once again confirmed the script is finally done and will "probably" start shooting next year - "We're working on it, we're working on it," Lucas said. "We've been working on it for 10 years. I think it'll be a great film, but it's completely different. It's still got a lot of action, and it's still very funny. I think it works like crazy".
As for the 3D versions of the "Star Wars" films, he's more hesitant on that front - "I don't know. Eventually. We're working on that technology, seeing if we can get that to work out".'

Jordan and I were just discussing how Lucas, whatever my problems with him, is still a breed apart from the average Hollywood bigwig, who is actually only after money and is a complete cynic at heart. And here's a good example: the bigwig would just spout off on how 3D was going to be the hugest thing ever omigod omigod whereas Lucas admits there's still stuff to work out.
