Sat, 05 Jul 2008 23:19:07 GMT

An army of some 300 robot-themed items are being unleashed on shops to coincide with the film, which is released in Britain a week on Friday. The Hollywood economy changed 31 years ago when director George Lucas made sure he would reap the rewards of Star Wars' merchandising profits; the space saga's licensed products have since generated £6bn, dwarfing the total sum taken by ticket sales....

Call this the Episode One Effect (EOE), where George Lucas famously crapped in a cup and sold it for billions simply because any movie with the words “Star Wars” in it was guaranteed to sell billions of tickets, even if it was utter shit. We saw a similar phenomenon with the latest Indiana Jones movie, and despite bad previews, movie-goers...

From the June 23rd edition of Time, talking about Wall*E: Having spent so much time with George Lucas on the Star Wars series, (Ben) Burtt is used to demanding directors. But even he was sometimes perplexed by Stanton’s requests. “Andrew would say, ‘That sound of the motor—could we get on with more pathos'’ I wonder about that for a minute.

There, on page 3 of the script, for all to see is a parenthetical before a piece of dialogue that simply says “(wry)”. One of the best scripts Spielberg has ever...

Lost footage from Metropolisâ¦found! (Nunc Scio) (Progressive Bloggers)

The film preservation organization plans to add the scenes to the existing movie. The new scenes shed more light on character and includes a car ride through the city of Metropolis. So, the additions will likely make the classic sci-fi flick better. This is different than, say, anything George Lucas did to the Star Wars franchise after the 1980s.
