I don't think Darabont is actually working on the project anymore, which is too bad. If I could get one of the three off, it would definitely be Lucas. Possibly of the top-5 most overrated filmmakers of all time, Lucas continues to present his "vision" instead of making coherent, watchable films. The guy came up with a couple of good ideas, which weren't all that original to begin with, and through the help of some other very talented movie makers, he was able to attach his name to some of the most attractive movie franchises of all time. The smartest, most forward-thinking thing he ever did was securing the merchandising and distribution rights to all of his properties. He is definitely a better businessman than moviemaker. It actually bothers me that his name is associated with this project.
