George Lucas To Stop Film Making for Cinema
Phillip Swann over at TV Predictions.com has picked up on an interview Star Wars creator George Lucas has given to Variety Magazine saying he's leaving the movie business to concentrate on television.
Apparently Lucas has told the magazine that : "... film's future will be small budget movies distributed over the Internet and viewed in Home Theaters equipped with high-def sets".
"We don't want to make movies. We're about to get into television. As far as Lucasfilm is concerned, we've moved away from the feature-film thing because it's too expensive and it's too risky," Lucas said.
Lucas has admitted that he will make the TV series Clone Wars but has never turned his back on the cinematic experience in this way before. Remember back in 2002 when he made headlines at a Sony NAB Convention when he said that he will 'never use film again' with his experience of HD. This announcement is in the same 'significance' bracket.
He went on to say...
"I don't think anything's going to be a habit anymore, I think people are going to be drawn to a certain medium in their leisure time and they're going to do it because there is a desire to do it at that particular moment in time. Everything is going to be a matter of choice. I think that's going to be a huge revolution."
Our experience of watching Revenge of the Sith last weekend would bear this out - the quality of this all HD movie was stunning and becomes even more stunning the larger the HDTV you watch it on.
