InfoLink - Lucas: Big pics are doomed

George Lucas, one of the kings of the big film, is predicting the death of the big film?

"The market forces that exist today make it unrealistic to spend $200 million on a movie. Those movies can't make their money back anymore. Look at what happened with 'King Kong.'"

"In the future, almost everything that gets shown in theaters will be indie movies. I predict that by 2025 the average movie will cost only $15 million."
