George Lucas: No More Big Budget Films
George Lucas has announced that, aside from a few projects already on the table, he is no longer going to produce big budget films. Instead he’s going to migrate to smaller productions.
“For that same $200 million, I can make 50-60 two-hour movies. That’s 120 hours as opposed to two hours.”
This is brilliant! Especially given how he mangled his own franchise, Star Wars. But then he has to follow it up with a stupid comment like this.
“I think the secret to the future is quantity.”
Sorry, George, but I think you are wrong there. Quality will always win, whether it’s a big budget film or an incredible television series like Battlestar Galactica which, by the way, starts tonight.
