Maybe he would actually set the movies in the time period they should be set:
Like Casino Royale in 1951. Live and Let die in 1952. Moonraker 1952. Diamonds Forever in 1954. From Russia with love in 1955. Doctor No 1956. etc.

Yeah but Spielberg isn't known for accuracy to the source material when adapting projects

With Spielberg preoccupied with 007 George Lucas shopped his script for Raiders of the lost ark around finally finding a Director in Sam Peckinpah it will be the Legendary directors final project
 
Johnny Quest to Dr. Jones

With a director in place George and Sam start looking for their lead.
With Tom Selleck unavailable for Magnum P.I & For your eyes only Tim Masterson was cast in the leading role of Indiana Jones George Lucas was quoted as saying "Well I hope this is good luck I mean this story is based on the old Saturday adventure serials & shows like Johnny Quest so we should see Johnny Quest all grown up should be interesting "

  • Tim Matheson as Indiana Jones, an archaeology professor who often embarks on perilous adventures to obtain rare artifacts. Jones claims that he has no belief in the supernatural, only to have his skepticism challenged when he discovers the Ark. Spielberg suggested casting Ford as Jones, but Lucas objected, stating that he did not want Ford to become his "Bobby De Niro" or "that guy I put in all my movies"—a reference to Martin Scorsese, who often worked with Robert De Niro.[8] Desiring a lesser known actor, Lucas persuaded Peckinpah to help him search for a new talent. Among the actors who auditioned were , Peter Coyote, John Shea, and Tom Selleck. Selleck was originally offered the role, but became unavailable for the part because of his commitment to the television series Magnum, P.I..[8][9][9] In June 1980, three weeks away from filming,[10]

Release[edit]
Blade Runner was released in 1,290 theaters on June 25, 1982. That date was chosen by producer Alan Ladd Jr. because his previous highest-grossing films (Star Wars and Alien) had a similar opening date (May 25) in 1977 and 1979, making the 25th of the month his "lucky day".[87] Blade Runner grossed reasonably good ticket sales in its opening weekend; earning $6.1 million during its first weekend in theaters.[88] The film was released close to other major science-fiction and fantasy releases such as The Thing, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Conan the Barbarian and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which affected its commercial success.[89]

Critical reception[edit]
Initial reactions among film critics were mixed. Some wrote that the plot took a back seat to the film's special effects, and did not fit the studio's marketing as an action/adventure movie. Others acclaimed its complexity and predicted it would stand the test of time.[90]Negative criticism in the United States cited its slow pace.[91] Sheila Benson from the Los Angeles Times called it "Blade Crawler", and Pat Berman in The State and Columbia Record described it as "science fiction pornography".[92] Pauline Kael praised Blade Runner as worthy of a place in film history for its distinctive sci-fi vision, yet criticized the film's lack of development in "human terms".[93]

Academics began writing analyses of the film almost as soon as it was released,[94] and the boom in home video formats helped establish a growing cult around the film,[95] which scholars have dissected for its dystopic aspects, its questions regarding "authentic" humanity, its ecofeminist aspects,[96] and its use of conventions from multiple genres.[97] Popular culture began to reassess its impact as a classic several years after it was released.[98][99][100] Roger Ebert praised the visuals of both the original and the Director's Cutversions and recommended it for that reason; however, he found the human story clichéd and a little thin.[29] He later added The Final Cut to his "Great Movies" list.[101] Critic Chris Rodley and Janet Maslin theorized that Blade Runner changed cinematic and cultural discourse through its image repertoire, and subsequent influence on films.[102]
Disillusioned with HollyWood Harrison Ford refuses to reprise the role of Han Solo for the third Star Wars movie Revenge of the Jedi and quits acting to work on Carpentry full time though will make convention appearaces from time to time
