'Lets Do Another Indy Film Before Harrison Ford Hits 80' - Steven Spielberg

Steven Spielberg is eager to do another Indiana Jones film before Indy himself, Harrison Ford hits 80.  That's what the director said on Monday during an interview with French radio, RTL.  Steven Spielberg said: "I am hoping one day to make it to an Indiana Jones V. I would hope to make it before Harrison Ford is 80 and I get much older," said Spielberg, who is himself 68.  Harrison Ford is 73. Spielberg also surprisingly admitted that he is still learning and feels he's not as experienced as some people think.  He said: "After 40 years I don't feel as experienced as people might assume," he told RTL. "I still feel I am learning and I am really excited by new projects." He also mentioned Star Wars and said it was unlikely he will ever direct a Star Wars film. "I am a huge fan of 'Star Wars'.... but I think it was never in my stars for me to direct one," he said. The Bearded Trio - The Site For Steven Spielberg,

Vintage Style Star Wars Posters Released To Promote The Force Awakens

 If you're over a certain age then you will remember the plain simple Star Wars posters from the 1970's that just boasted large text and no fancy Drew Strewzan magic.  Well Lucasfilm and Disney have released similar posters to promote The Force Awakens.  They really are trying to get the message out that the new film will sit alongside the original trilogy.  A clever bit of marketing. The original 70's poster.

The Beginning: Making Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace (Full Version)

The Beginning is a documentary on the making of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, originally produced for the film's DVD release. It covers the entire production of The Phantom Menace, from preproduction to casting to visual effects, editing, and theatrical release. The Beginning starts with early production work on the film, as George Lucas (returning to the director's chair for the first time since Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope) and Lucasfilm plan how they will bring his vision to the screen. Jake Lloyd auditions for the part of Anakin Skywalker and is eventually cast in the role, joining Natalie Portman (Padmé), Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Liam Neeson (Qui-Gon Jinn). Lucas leads several meetings with ILM, including visual effects supervisor John Knoll, in an effort to figure out how Episode I's many CGI effects would be accomplished -- Jar Jar Binks, in particular, was a challenge, as digital characters were still new at the time.
