George Lucas Struggles to Reinvent Himself
GuyMannDude writes "Wired has a lengthy article about what lies ahead for George Lucas. Originally a member of a maverick group of young filmmakers who were at odds with the thinking and methods of the major studios, he has now become the most financially successful director in history by marketing the ultimate popcorn fodder. With the Star Wars saga ending, Lucas now struggles with how to reinvent himself." I imagine it will be hard to get away from Star Wars, given that he's producing television shows set in the fictional universe.
... quit making shitty movies.
You did much better when you were copying off of others works.
Step two. Stop writing. You aren't good at it.
Step three. Stop directing. You lost your charm.
What does that leave? Producing. You give the cash and some ideas, let others do the work.
Trust me George... you can only go up from here if you follow these simple instructions.
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
You liked THX 1138?!?
In any case... you should check out American Graffiti. It's quite good.
