>>>once they were cohorts and collaborators, working on the young indiana jones chronicles and even rumoured partners on the prequels, but it appears that there is currently no love lost between george lucas and shawshank redemption director frankdarabont. regarding the fourth indiana jones flick the feted director explains "that was terrifically frustrating. i worked for over a year on that. i worked very close with steven spielberg. he was ecstatic with the result and was ready to shoot it two years ago. he was very, very happy with the script and said it was the best draft of anything since raiders of the lost ark. lucas read it and said, 'yeah, i don't think so, i don't like it.' and then he resets it to zero when spielberg is ready to shoot it that coming year, (which) is a real kick to the nuts. you can only waste so much time and so many years of your life on experiences
like that, you can only get so emotionally invested and have the rug pulled out from under you before you say enough of that." clearly darabont is less than happy, but with luck indiana jones 4 will prove lucas right.
