George Lucas Threatens Indy 5 Yet AgainBy Katey Rich: 2008-07-29 10:43:57
Anne Thompson, blogging for Variety, has picked up some hubristic comments from George Lucas, buried in what she calls a “puff piece” with the Times of London. In what probably won’t be a surprise for anyone baffled and frustrated by the recent Star Wars and even the newest Indiana Jones, Lucas is back to his old tricks of messing with things that should be left alone and taking all the credit in the meantime.“If I can come up with another idea that they like, we’ll do another,” he says about Indiana Jones, before accusing Spielberg of being the real issue in getting the most recent one made. “Really, with the last one, Steven wasn’t that enthusiastic. I was trying to persuade him. But now Steve is more amenable to doing another one.” And now comes the part that might really make you crazy. “I’m in the future; Steven’s in the past. He’s trying to drag it back to the way they were, I’m trying to push it to a whole different place. So, still we have a sort of tension.” Wow. So now, as if there were any doubt, we know who to blame for the aliens and all the other “futuristic” mumbo-jumbo of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. No word on who to blame for the vine-swinging monkeys, though. It’s unimaginable how Lucas can still consider himself to be a forward-thinking visionary after his attempts to pack the three most recent Star Wars movie with technology were met with widespread disdain. Hand him credit for not kowtowing to public opinion, I guess, but shudder at the thought of where Lucas’s vision of the future may take us next. Oh, and add this to the pile of rumors about an Indy 5, most of which seem to just be coming from Lucas himself. If Spielberg and Lucas are really squabbling as much as Lucas suggests, it may never actually happen. And given everything Lucas is saying about how he’s controlling where the series goes, we may not want it to happen at all.
