Description
The secret to film is that it is an illusion' Georga Lucas George Lucas is primarily known for his Star Wars film series, and for having created the character of Indiana Jones. However, he was also an avant-garde maker of independent films such as THX-1138, and remains one of the greatest technical innovators the cinema has ever seen a pioneer in stereo sound systems, digital projection and the development of CGI. Using the successful format of previous books in the Virgin Film series, this guide includes categories such as Casting. Alternative Versions. Recurring Themes and Concerns and Expert Witness, information on Lucas's inspiration behind his films both directing and producting - and accounts of his other lesser-known early films. Lucas is, financially speaking, the most successful film director who has ever lived. He still remains outside the studio system: that his later films often resemble the most pointedly calculated of Hollywood 'product' is one of the many fascinating paradoxes in a remarkable career.
