Personal Visions
Wired magazine has a couple of cool articles out on George Lucas. Much about Lucas's inspirations and what will come after Star Wars. Lucas on his success:
"I'm not happy that corporations have taken over the film industry, but now I find myself being the head of a corporation, so there's a certain irony there. I have become the very thing that I was trying to avoid. That is Darth Vader - he becomes the very thing he was trying to protect himself against."
The Main Article
A Q&A
To contrast a man whose personal projects propelled him, there interesting new book about Orson Welles' attempts to make his personal films after Citizen Kane. Welles on making the studio's pictures:
''I believe that the only good work I can do is my own particular thing, I don't think I'm very good at doing their thing.''
It's called "Despite the System: Orson Welles Versus the Hollywood Studios" by Clinton Heylin. The New York Times gives it a good review.
