A Meeting of Icons

Akira Kurosawa, Francis Ford Coppola, and George Lucas, in 1980.

"When Toho Studios couldn’t fulfill the budget demands of the film, American film directors George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola helped Akira Kurosawa by convincing 20th Century-Fox (still riding high after the success of Lucas’ Star Wars) to fund the remaining portion of the budget in exchange for Kagemusha’s international distribution rights." -Willy & Jonih

David Lynch on George Lucas

I love this little snippet. David Lynch talks about turning down George Lucas' offer to direct Return of the Jedi. It's pretty hilarious. I can't shake that image of Lucas driving his Ferrari with the seat way back. Ha ha. Enjoy.



P.s. I think I'm going to get my hair cut like David Lynch's.

George Lucas In Love

Sure enough, yet another Star Wars thingy. Joe Nussbaum's inspiring short film George Lucas in Love! As I said before, I'm not a huge Lucas fan, or even a Star Wars fan, but this is so well done! Bravo.
