J.J. Abrams Hasn't Spoken with George Lucas About Star Wars: Episode VII
4 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
George Lucas won the Outstanding Special Class Animated Program 2013 Daytime Emmy for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which, remarkably is only his second Emmy throughout his entire career. The creator of the Star Wars universe was quick to let everyone know that it was only his third major award, after also winning a post-retirement NAACP award for his work on Red Tails in 2012.
Access Hollywood caught up with Lucas on the red carpet, who had just been handed his award by Carrie Fisher. Talk very quickly turned to Star Wars: Episode VII, where the retiree revealed how relieved he is not to have to worry about the sequel.
"I think its great. I don't have to worry about these guys any more. (Laughs)"
He then revealed that director J.J. Abrams has been too busy to speak with him about the hugely anticipate project.
I have not spoken to J.J. »

Steven Spielberg & George Lucas Predict 'Implosion' of the Film Industry
6 hours ago | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
Two of the greatest filmmakers of the modern era, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, have predicted an “inevitable implosion” of the movie industry, which will lead to less films and an explosion of ticket prices.
The two legendary filmmakers, Spielberg and Lucas—who have collaborated in the past to make the Indiana Jones franchise—were speaking at the University of Southern California at the festivities for the official opening of the USC School of Cinematic Arts Interactive Media Building. They weren’t overly encouraging to the new generation of filmmakers, however.
The two icons stated that we are currently in period of upheaval and instability in the movie making business. Spielberg pointed out the creative limitations of the current product, due to unimaginative studio heads and escalating budgets. He adds that in these days of big-budget sequels and remakes, even established filmmakers and actor are having trouble getting interesting projects made. »

6 hours ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Who are these amnesiac boys, rising up each month from a rusting elevator into the middle of a grassy glade?
What is this massive stone maze surrounding them, and why does it change shape each day? How long will some unseen intelligence keep testing them as they try desperately to escape?
These are the core questions of The Maze Runner, and EW has learned Patricia Clarkson will play the character with the answers.
Clarkson, who was nominated for a supporting actor Oscar in 2003 for Pieces of April, is best known for Shutter Island, Lars and the Real Girl, and The Station Agent. »

George Lucas -- Thanks Black People for 'Ncaa' Award
17 June 2013 6:55 AM, PDT | TMZ | See recent TMZ news »
George Lucas thinks he won an "Ncaa" award for his movie "Red Tails" ... which is incredible since he neither rebounds nor shoots well from the paint. Lucas was accepting his first Emmy for his animated series "Star Wars: Clone Wars" ... when he Tried to reference the NAACP award he won earlier this year for his WWII drama about the Tuskegee Airmen. He ended up making a worse mistake than "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. »

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are now bemoaning the commercialised film industry that they helped create
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas bemoaning the commercialised state of modern Hollywood is a bit like Amazon complaining about the decline of old-fashioned bookshops. Last week, speaking at the University of Southern California, the two film-makers outlined a doomsday scenario of hugely inflated ticket prices, limited choice at the box office and no place for talented, visionary directors – like themselves. Spielberg only just got his Oscar-winning Lincoln into cinemas, he revealed, otherwise it would have gone straight to television. Likewise, George Lucas struggled to get his Red Tails movie seen. Were just a handful of big budget tent-pole Hollywood movies to flop, the two men warned, there could be an industry-changing "implosion – or a big meltdown".
The instinctive response to this apocalyptic prophecy is, "Bring it on." The second is, "Hang on, you're Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. »

Daytime Emmy Awards: ‘Days of Our Lives,’ ‘Ellen,’ ‘Dr. Oz’ Win Top Kudos
16 June 2013 5:14 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” took the gold for drama series at the 40th annual Daytime Emmy Awards on Sunday.
The win marked the first time since 1975 that the sudser has won the top prize at the Daytime Emmy fete — and only its second drama series nod in its nearly 50-year run on NBC. And to make it that much sweeter, the victory coincided with the birthday of “Days” exec producer Ken Corday (pictured above).
“Pinch me,” he said. “Today is a great day to celebrate.”
The Beverly Hilton was abuzz earlier in the kudofest as George Lucas picked up his first Emmy — and the second award ever in his long career — for “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” at the 40th annual fete.
“We’ve pulled ourselves up from the outer reaches of daytime television,” Lucas said in accepting the kudo for the Cartoon Network animated series. He thanked »

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg Predict Studios Will Implode and VOD Is the Future
13 June 2013 2:03 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Entertainment titans George Lucas and Steven Spielberg gathered to talk about the future of cinema, and according to them, we're witnessing the first stages of a multiplex apocalypse, where theatrical blockbusters will become a niche market and VOD will reign supreme as the king choice of consumers. They even go as far as to predict programmable dreams.
The pair spoke out at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, where George Lucas predicted that soon, the major studios will begin to crumble.
"They're going for the gold. But that isn't going to work forever. And as a result they're getting narrower and narrower in their focus. People are going to get tired of it. They're not going to know how to do anything else.
You're going to end up with fewer theaters, bigger theaters with a lot of nice things. Going to the movies will cost 50 bucks or 100 or 150 bucks, like what Broadway costs today, »

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas boldly predict the present of entertainment, then throw in one freaky thing from the future
13 June 2013 12:45 PM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
During a recent talk at USC Film School, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg spoke about the imminent "implosion" of the movie industry, heralded by the difficulty even big-name directors such as themselves have getting movies onto the big screen these days. (For instance, Lincoln nearly ended up as a made-for-tv movie on HBO, while Red Tails was self-financed and had trouble finding a distributor). The directors then spelled out the direction they believe Hollywood is headed in, mostly by predicting things that have already happened. Such post-dictions include: movie theaters that offer lots of perks and charge a lot of »
Steven Spielberg: 'Lincoln' was 'this close' to premiering on HBO
13 June 2013 10:54 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
For years now — especially since The Sopranos ushered in a new era of smart, complex, visually sumptuous television programming — Hollywood insiders and consumers alike have been saying that TV is a better avenue for gripping, intelligent entertainment than film. (EW actually declared this to be true way back in 1995, four years before David Chase’s mob series debuted.)
And yesterday, two majorly influential voices indicated that they may be joining the pro-tv chorus: George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
The directors had teamed up for a chat about the state of the film industry at the University of Southern California. (The »

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas on Hollywood's Impending Doom
13 June 2013 10:50 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
As the old saying goes, "All good things come to an end." Right now Hollywood studios are doing very well for themselves. They are making big budget films that are paying off for them in spades. People are making a lot of money. Marvel is a perfect example of this with films like The Avengers and Iron Man 3. It doesn't hurt the studios to charge people more money to see their movies either. It seems like the are already forcing us to pay an extra $5 to see their movies in 3D and if you want to see the film in IMAX, well it's another extra $5. It's crazy that I find myself paying $21.50 to see a movie sometimes these days. It's kind of sad, especially since the economy isn't really getting any better.

Steven Spielberg Says Hollywood Is Headed For "A Meltdown" (It's Cool Though)
13 June 2013 8:32 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Well, this sounds great: Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, speaking at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, said that, more or less, the Hollywood system as we know it is about to come crumbling down. Thankfully they gave us a heads-up so we have time to go buy hardhats and heavy duty tarps. (And those kids still have time to change majors, gulp.)
"They're going for the gold," Lucas, the man who created "Star Wars," said. Unencumbered by irony, he continued: "But that isn't going to work forever. People are going to get tired of it. They're not going to know how to do anything else." Spielberg, known for his own small art house movies like "Jaws" and "War of the Worlds," sounded even bleaker: "There's eventually going to be a meltdown." Say it isn't so, Uncle Stevie!

Spielberg and Lucas On the 'Implosion' the Industry They Helped Create and Still Contribute To
13 June 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Steven Spielberg saw the end of New Hollywood in the late '70s as studios took control back from the directors they'd put so much faith in and now he seems to be predicting a similar meltdown, this time as a result of studios putting too much control in the hands of marketing teams and studio attempts to make movies for everyone. Speaking alongside George Lucas at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, the duo that most recently collaborated to bring us the modern day classic Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull spoke to an audience of film students about the current state of cinema. "There's eventually going to be an implosion -- or a big meltdown," Spielberg said. "There's going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen megabudget movies are going to go crashing into the ground, and that's going to change the paradigm. »

Steven Spielberg: Hollywood is Headed For a “Meltdown”
13 June 2013 7:46 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
At a University of Southern California event celebrating their new Interactive Media Building, Steven Spielberg predicted that the studio system will eventually implode or face a “big meltdown” created when the right amount of giant-budget films flop all at once. Also at the event, George Lucas echoed the sentiment, and the two discussed the difficulties of bringing projects like Lincoln and Red Tails to fruition despite being two thoroughly established filmmakers. The Hollywood Reporter recorded some of Spielberg’s other insights, including the possibility of ticket price disparities in the future, but the core claim is still the most powerful. On the one hand, there’s a profundity to it. Spielberg worked hard to get to the view at the top, but it clearly hasn’t blinded him from what’s going on, and what he’s noting is no less than the fundamental alteration of a multi-billion-dollar industry.

Lincoln Was Almost an HBO Movie
13 June 2013 6:45 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are pretty glum about the future of the movie industry, or so they indicated yesterday at a panel at USC. "We're talking Lincoln and Red Tails — we barely got them into theaters. You're talking about Steven Spielberg and George Lucas can't get their movie into a theater," Lucas said, according to THR. Papa Star Wars also suggested that cable television is "much more adventurous" than film nowadays and that "eventually the Lincolns will go away and they're going to be on television." "As mine almost was," Spielberg said. "This close. Ask HBO — this close." Not to disrupt the gentle flow of history, but might Lincoln have been better as an HBO movie or mini-series? The world will never know. »

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas predict film industry 'implosion'

Veteran directors warned students in Us about difficulty of getting projects into cinemas, and suggested studio cautiousness could lead to hiked ticket prices
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have predicted a Hollywood "implosion" that could change the shape of the film industry forever and lead to dramatically hiked ticket prices for blockbuster films.
Speaking at the opening of a new media centre at the University of Southern California, the two Hollywood titans painted a picture of a future in which the failure of half a dozen $250m movies in quick succession caused a seismic shift in studio dynamics, leading to audiences being asked to pay $25 (£15) a ticket for films such as Iron Man 3 but just $7 (£4.50) for movies such as Spielberg's own Lincoln.
Spielberg told students at USC they were vying to enter the film industry at a time when even established film-makers were struggling to get their projects into cinemas, »

Steven Spielberg on the Movie Industry: 'There's Eventually Going to Be a Big Meltdown'
13 June 2013 4:51 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Recently there's been much debate over the future of movies, theatrical distribution versus streaming, and big budget blockbusters versus smaller indie films. According to Variety, two of Hollywood's greatest champions, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, foresee a movie "meltdown" that will make trips to the movies as expensive as a Broadway show.
"There's eventually going to be a big meltdown," Spielberg said in a panel at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. "There's going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen of these mega-budgeted movies go crashing into the ground and that's going to change the paradigm again."
Lucas piggy-backed on Spielberg's prediction saying that such a meltdown will lead to a spike in movie ticket prices, raising them as high as "50 bucks or 100 or 150 bucks, like what Broadway costs today."

George Lucas & Steven Spielberg: Studios Will Implode; VOD Is the Future

Looking into their crystal ball, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg predicted the imminent arrival of a radically different entertainment landscape, including pricey movie tickets, a vast migration of content to video-on-demand and even programmable dreams.
Speaking on a panel at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Spielberg and Lucas took a grim view of the future of the majors and predicted theatrical motion pictures will become a niche market.
“They’re going for the gold,” said Lucas of the studios. “But that isn’t going to work forever. And as a result they’re getting narrower and narrower in their focus. People are going to get tired of it. They’re not going to know how to do anything else.”
Spielberg noted that because so many forms of entertainment are competing for attention, they would rather spend $250 million on a single film than make several personal, quirky projects.
