According to a recent article by Wired.com George Lucas was not quite as serious about the pending apocalypse as Seth Rogan thought.
From Wired, While the question mark might indeed be the blogger’s best friend, the answer to the query is a resounding “no.”
“I spoke with George,” said Lucasfilm rep Lynne Hale in an e-mail to Wired.com about this issue of obvious intergalactic importance.
“He was not serious when he talked about the end of the world in 2012 but he is an adamant believer that the world is flat, that Stonehenge was built by aliens, and that the sun revolves around the Earth,” Hale said. “These are among the many subjects he commonly discusses at length with Elvis, who he’s going to digitally insert into Indy 5 along with a roster of famous dead actors.”
It could be true or it could be damage control. Either way, he still has yet to make an apology for Jar-Jar Binks.
