As the release of the new Indiana Jones film draws closer, fans are becoming increasingly tense. We want it to be good ... and yet we know it was produced by George Lucas, whose track record is spotty at best when it comes to…

George Lucas Wants You

No, really.

I'm guessing he won't be happy if you have Han Solo going on a rampage at the Mos Eisley cantina, shootin' up all the lowlife alien smuggler scum who deserve it, but still:

Is J.K. Rowling the Next George Lucas, but not in a good way?

MOVIES | Apr 24, 2008 | Comments () | Recommended ()

Sorry, kids. I come to you from the future, and as much as Harry Potter is this generation's iteration of Star Wars (in the size and scope of its success, fandom and merchandising), J.K. Rowling, beloved genius behind the Harry…
