I always hoped he'd wise up and not do this one (though the casting made me a little happier at the prospect of it happening that I had been), so this is good news for me. If he wants to do an effects movie next can he please make Interstellar finally? Make it two-in-a-row for ridiculously long-gestating passion projects. Or continue Tintin. Or both.

An apocalyptic movie has been postponed? Oh darn, I was looking forward to something fresh…

With 'Robopocalypse' effectively DOA for now, Spielberg has a big open window in his schedule, and I totally concur with him doing Episode VII, he always stated he would love to helm a 'Star Wars' movie, and his involvement in the first installment of the new trilogy would certainly give it automatic cred… although it would give whomever directs Episodes VIII and IX one heckuva tall order to follow!

"Reading between the lines, it's probably another victim of the kind of nervousness that saw films like "Akira," "Paradise Lost" and "Arthur and Lancelot" cut down in pre-production." You should work on your reading-comprehension skills, then. Spielberg is far, far more powerful in Hollywood than the directors behind those other projects. He can – with a few reasonable exceptions – do whatever the hell he wants (the only project he wanted to do recently but couldn't was the Jonathan Nolan-scripted space film, which was a victim of Paramount-Dreamworks infighting). Are you seriously telling me that David Dobkin and Spielberg would face the same pressures by the studio? If Spielberg wants to push the project back, it is because he CAN, which explains why projects like Indy 4, Lincoln etc. were all put on the back-burner for more rewrites. Like Ridley Scott with 'Prometheus', you can't blame studio pressures or interference if you have problems with the final product because those directors have the power and opportunity to push projects back if they want to for more rewrites.

Stop hating Tintin. Now.
