http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367882/50% chance that it will suck: Writers: David Koepp (screenplay) / George Lucas (story) If Lucas had worked on the screenplay, the number would have been 100%.

David Koepp probably bats about .500 with his screenplays. I'll say Spielberg is probably somewhere around .750 with directing. As long as Lucas isn't allowed to direct or write dialog, odds of it sucking are probably right around 40%. As gleek mentions, if Lucas touches the screenplay, those odds will skyrocket.

After a quick scan of David Koepp's work, I'm going to change the odds to about 70% potential to suck. Spielberg might just pull it off, but he's definitely climbing uphill. |
