George Lucas Helped Finish Jurassic Park
When Steven Spielberg left to shoot Schindler's List, George Lucas assisted his friend by overseeing the sound mixing.
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg would have always been linked, even if they hadn't created one of the most iconic action heroes. Two of the preeminent movie brats, a term for the 60s and 70s filmmakers that grew up on film in a way the previous generation hadn't, Lucas and Spielberg defined blockbuster films with Star Wars and Jaws, respectively. But the filmmakers had a friendship that was both familial and creatively collaborative. Spielberg watched early cuts of Star Wars, providing Lucas with feedback, and was even offered the chance to direct more than one entry in the franchise. Lucas, in turn, pitched Indiana Jones to Spielberg after his unrequited desire to make a James Bond film. The two relied on one another throughout the years, and Lucas proved a crucial aide-de-camp when Spielberg needed to shoot his passion project by taking over the post-production of Jurassic Park.
