Episode II going a little rough?
Today Ain't It Cool News has posted some information stating that Episode II is going a little rough right now. "Well, you have to understand first that George Lucas works in a very odd sort of filmmaking manner. He doesn't do it like regular filmmakers.... This is an extreme... almost ANIMATED FILM rough draft. Some characters are not even on camera to deliver their lines... and so much of the film is a work of blue screen that it is hard to discern any real sense of quality at this point... I have heard rumblings that there might be a delay in release for the film, but... as it is, ILM has over a year and a half to finish EPISODE II, so we'll just have to wait and see.... It is interesting that McCallum is acknowledging the disappointment at how the screening went... at least they are not in denial, I hope they pull it off.... here is Anon...."
"I must keep this brief for obvious reasons...We were recently given a screening of the film, EPISODE 2 (still no title) so far at ILM. 2 1/2 hours of rough effects work / plates and selected takes, etc; will be heavy on CGI. All I will say for now is that George and Rick are"stressing" over a major reworking of the storyline. It's putting deadlines back and makes our work extremely frustrating. There are whispers that Spielberg is coming on board to help with the editing and story. It's a total shambles! Everyone wants another Empire Strikes Back......the team is aware of this, but we're a long way off."

Well, I sure hope things get done on time and that this will be the movie we are all longing for!
