I don't blame Lucas for the prequels since I put em up there with the sequels, quality wise, but ruining Indiana Jones is a hard thing to swallow.
Here's Darabont exact quotes
"It was a tremendous disappointment and a waste of a year, Darabont told MTV. It showed me how badly things can go. I spent a year of very determined effort on something I was very excited about, working very closely with Steven Spielberg and coming up with a result that I and he felt was terrific. He wanted to direct it as his next movie, and then suddenly the whole thing goes down in flames because George Lucas doesnt like the script.
I told him he was crazy. I said, You have a fantastic script. I think youre insane, George. You can say things like that to George, and he doesnt even blink. Hes one of the most stubborn men I know.
I consider Darabont overrated, but the fact Spielberg liked it really makes me think what this movie could have been, and that's a damn shame
