HOLLYWOOD, June 21, 2000 -- The guy who directed the buzzable parody short "George Lucas in Love" has made good on the buzz, landing his first Hollywood picture deal. Joe Nussbaum will helm the comedy "How to Eat Fried Worms" for Nickelodeon Films, today's Hollywood Reporter says. "George Lucas in Love," produced in 1999, is a goof on "Shakespeare in Love," featuring the young "Star Wars" guru (circa 1967) looking for inspiration for a screenplay, a la the Bard. HOW DOES THIS GUY KEEP GETTING WORK? Mumbler Giovanni Ribisi is in talks to co-star with Cate Blanchett in Miramax's "Heaven," a drama about a woman (Blanchett) bent on finding her husband's true murderer. WHAT A CROC: Shooting is slated to begin in August on "Crocodile Dundee III," starring the weathered-looking star of the first two only-in-the-'80s comedies, Paul Hogan.
SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 4, 2000 -- The force was with "Star Wars" creator George Lucas today on the racetrack. The writer/director/Jar Jar-pusher was shaken but unhurt after smacking his car into a wall during warm-ups for the Long Beach Grand Prix's Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. Lucas, badly injured as a teen-ager in an auto crash, fared much better this time. After being escorted off the track, the 55-year-old filmmaker declined medical treatment, reports Hollywood.com's Gerry Katzman from Long Beach. He even stopped to sign a (what else?) Yoda doll for a fan and joked that he planned to win the April 15 race by deploying an "Episode II"-appropriate bumper sticker: "If you want the part, pull over."

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 15, 2000 -- Jar Jar Binks bending to the P.C. police? Don't hold your breath. As casting for the second installment of the new "Star Wars" trilogy continues, Lucasfilm is refuting reports that had George Lucas is seeking a more culturally diverse cast in response to accusations of racist stereotyping in "Episode I -- The Phantom Menace". The original Daily Variety article, published last Wednesday, said the new, politically correct roles would include "a Native American character, said to have a forceful, spiritual nature; an Indian or Hispanic character; and an Asian character, possibly trained in martial arts." But in a post on the official 'Star Wars' (www.starwars.com) Web site, Lynne Hale, Lucasfilm's director of communications, labels the Variety report "completely false," saying that no character descriptions have been decided on since
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 10, 2000 -- If director Deepa Mehta is down in the dumps these days, who can blame her? Not only have protesters shut down production of her new movie, "Water," on location in India -- they've threatened to kill and burn her in effigy. George Lucas to the rescue. In today's Daily Variety, the "Star Wars" creator springs for a full-page ad in the trade newspaper, declaring: "Our heart is with Deepa Mehta ... in her current struggles to film 'Water.' Keep fighting, Deepa!" The note was signed by Lucas, partner Rick McCallum "and all your friends at Lucasfilm Ltd." So what's the Lucas-Mehta connection? Mehta directed one episode of the Lucasfilm-produced "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" TV series in the early 1990s, as well as a segment of the 1996 TV-movie "Young Indiana Jones and Travels With Father."
