hope1972Lucas: "The Blockbuster Is Dead"
Movie mogul George Lucas predicts Hollywood will soon start shifting away from mega-budget blockbusters in favor of making more independent films for less money. Alongside Steven Spielberg, Star Wars creator Lucas is cited as being chiefly responsible for the blockbuster phenomenon that has gripped the movie industry for the last three decades. But he now believes big-budget films can no longer be profitable and are going out of fashion, as evidenced by this year's Academy Award nominees, including independent movies Crash and Good Night, And Good Luck. Lucas tells the New York Daily News, "The market forces that exist today make it unrealistic to spend $200 million on a movie. Those movies can't make their money back anymore. Look at what happened with King Kong. I think it's great that the major Oscar nominations have gone to independent films. Is that good for the business? No - it's bad for the business. But movie-making isn't about business. It's about art. In the future, almost everything that gets shown in theaters will be indie movies. I predict that by 2025 the average movie will cost only $15 million."
Блин! А я люблю блокбастеры! От одного ролика нынешнего "Посейдона" у меня слюнки потекли! Обожаю такие штуки - корабли, которые переворачивает гигантская волна или вода, смывающая статую Свободы в "Deep Impact"... ОБОЖАЮ! Да пусть хоть Годзилла в Нью-Йорке... лишь бы монументально!
