Star Wars creator George Lucas has complained that Hollywood continues to operate under the "Thalberg Syndrome," a reference to Irving Thalberg, the all-powerful studio executive who controlled virtually every movie made at MGM in the 1930s. In an interview with Britain's Guardian newspaper, Lucas remarked that the tendency of middle managers to interpose themselves into productions has resulted in the film industry "making hugely inefficient movies for great amounts of money and they aren't creatively very interesting. Any studio you go to, you're going to find 30 executives working on your picture." Of course, this doesn’t explain why the last two Star Wars films have sucked big time. |
| Kangaroo Jack and Agent Cody Banks 2 star Anthony Anderson is now facing a sexual assault lawsuit only months after being charged with rape. The actor was still reeling from the cancellation of his sitcom All About the Andersons in July when an extra on the set of his movie Hustle & Flow hit him, and his bodyguard, with rape charges. Now, Anderson and Warner Bros Television bosses have been named in a $900,000 suit by a woman who claims Anderson made suggestive comments, grabbed her genitalia and sexually assaulted her in his dressing room on the All About the Andersons set. The even worse news for Anderson is that he can't afford Kobe's lawyers. |
