Directors Spielberg and Lucas Predict ‘Massive Implosion’ in Film Industry
Yesterday on June 13, 2013, The Verge’s Brian Bishop published a story with the provocative headline “Steven Spielberg and George Lucas predict ‘massive implosion’ in film industry”. The article covers a panel discussion held at the University of Southern California by directors George Lucas and Steven Speilberg and Microsoft’s President of Interactive Entertainment Don Mattrick.

The new one came out and I recently went to see it with a friend.
