Lucas Calls for Star Wars 3D

Oops..

Shame...if you can see it in IMAX, I can only imagine how much better it would be...3D is still spectacular though.

yes.

i've always wanted to watch the old trilogy in theatres, now i'll get the chance finally. and in 3D!

can't wait.

oh and Lucas should do a Special Edition for the new trilogy..

It's the other way around. Cameron is still trying to match Lucas. 😉

That's true though. I doubt if Cameron can ever match the OT's success... however, today Cameron is sure kicking Lucas to kingdom come.

Yep...Titanic (not ashamed to admit that I love that movie) and AVATAR both prove Cameron's talent as a Filmmaker. No doubts that an AVATAR 2 will be in the works.

Yup, hope we get a good story this time as well.

haha I liked the story, even though it wasn't original. What is, nowadays? 😛

Let the Right One in was...

No Country for Old Men was...

Precious was...

Quite a lot actually.

Unfortunately, I have only head of No Country for Old Men from the list you just gave.

Well, there you go then. It's also about where you look. All of them received quite a bit of (international) attention. Precious has an Oscar nomination for best actress this March.Let the Right One won many awards aroiund the world. Unfortunately, an English remake is in the making...

The key thing is, how much ownership does Cameron have with the AVATAR property? I bet he doesn't own it like Lucas owns STAR WARS. As owner, Lucas is virtually the only man (possibly excepting Spielberg) in the world who can sink over $100 million of his own money into a film budget, and be there at the end to get 90% of the huge profits. The old saying in Hollywood is to never invest your own money in a film; well, Lucas has done that since TESB and has been getting richer ever since - it's also his way of having creative control, so the studio has no say. Hollywood has tried to make sure the George Lucas story has never repeated - where they gave him the copyright & merchandising rights in 1977 instead of more upfront money, and they turned him into a multi-billionaire with his own independent empire.
Cameron had to sign away any copyright control with the first Terminator film for the right to direct it himself; that's why he can't stop the other movies happening or even benefit. AVATAR had such a huge budget - with financing from several sources - that I'm pretty sure Cameron doesn't have the same control overall, other than getting paid well with profit percentages.
Lucas may be an even better businessman than a filmmaker. With Cameron, it's the opposite. Digital Domian was supposed to be his own ILM, but he was forced to sell it off, in the wake of his $50 million dollar divorce from Linda Hamilton post Titanic (nice timing there.) Now it's WETA & ILM who are doing his FX work.

So what are you saying: Lucas is making more money with crappy movies? A good business man indeed.
