Contact Music.com has an excerpt of an interview with George Lucas about the new Indiana Jones film, due out next month. Lucas is surprisingly candid about his fears that the film will not match expectations and will be met with the same kind of backlash that Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace recieved.
Indiana Jones producer George fears the forthcoming sequel is doomed to suffer the same critical failure as his much maligned Star Wars prequels.The producer has brought the swashbuckling franchise back to life, 19 years after Harrison Ford's movie archaeologist last appeared in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.But, as the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull draws close, Lucas admits he is terrified die-hard fans will turn their backs on the movie - in the same way Star Wars devotees did after he reignited the sci-fi franchise. He says, "We're not gonna have adoring fans sending us e-mails saying how much they loved the movie. We're gonna have a bunch of angry people saying, 'You're a bunch of a**holes, you should never have done this. You've ruined my life forever.'"
