There's a direct line from the quality superhero films we've had in the past ten years to <I>Star Wars</I>.<BR/><BR/>And, really, he is a great, great producer in terms of logistics and organization, by all accounts. He made <I>The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles</I> for half what it would've taken anyone else. Even the recent trilogy was produced way cheaper than it would've been with most other producers.blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-33929496988738703342008-08-16T17:46:00.000-07:002008-08-16T17:46:00.000-07:00Another over praised hack.
