1. Steven Spielberg won't make another Indiana Jones without George Lucas

You might think that wrecking two of the most beloved franchises in cinema history would make someone persona non grata in Hollywood — but in the case of George Lucas, you'd be wrong. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, longtime Lucas collaborator Steven Spielberg insists he "will not make another Indiana Jones film unless it's based on [George Lucas'] story," even though Lucas' last idea for an Indiana Jones story included crystal skulls, aliens, and a nuclear-bomb-thwarting refrigerator. Spielberg adds that Lucas does intend to return to the Indiana Jones series eventually, so audiences can anticipate the next film — which we'll tentatively call Indiana Jones and the Franchise that Desperately Tries to Get Back on Track — at some point in the future.
