George Lucas and the future of film

I have a really good feeling about this…

 Star Wars creator George Lucas has set out his roadmap for the future of film, DVD and online movie downloads.

George Lucas told the Hollywood Reporter that piracy is changing the way that Hollywood operates and that it will soon have to embrace the online download culture if it’s to survive.

“It’s the way kids do it today. It’s how you do it on your iPod: They just download it. You pay 99 cents for music, and movies will be like two bucks. That will definitely change the economics of the business because (studios) are losing money now.”
