Lucas compares Revenge to Titanic?

If by "Like Titanic" GL means a topless Kate Winslet, I'm all for it.

Maybe THAT is why RotS is getting a PG-13 rating...

I could go for a topless Natalie Portman... hell, I'd see any movie that had that in it...

...and of course in the end that is all that matters.

Topless? I don't know if that is in the Julia Robert film, Closer, where Natalie plays a stripper.

But you can see her swimming in the pool down to her underwear in the Zach Braff film, Garden State.

No, it's not. But close (no pun intended).

They joked about this on last night's Weekend Update on SNL.

I forget what the exact joke was, but it ended with them saying Lucas said it won't be good.

Hmmm, intriguing. Not likely to happen, but I could settle for a bikini (ala Princess Leia in RotJ).

Why doesn't anyone like Titanic? I thought it was a good film.

Because its just a repackaged Posiden Adventure with a less likable (and less talented) cast . . .

If by comparing it to Titanic, Lucas means it'll have big budget special effects, then it's cool.
On the other hand, if it means it'll be badly acted, you know that the lead dies in the beginning and when you get to the end you don't care that he did, and next year there will be a creepy quasi documentary about the making of the film, well then it won't be more than I expect.

It's a marketing ploy. So many people are taking the time to shake their heads and wonder, aloud, at what he could mean by such an outrageous statement that the only thing that really remains in people's minds when it comes closer to the release date is the thought that his film might be comparable to Titanic. Naturally, Geo knows who is primary target audience actually is. And Geo knows how big and who the primary target audience of Titanic was. If he can dupe even a percentage of the primary target audience of Titanic to come see his film he will rake in some extra dough at the box office and perhaps convert some new fans who might then dig back and check out the other five movies, too. It's a fairly trasparent ploy.
