Lucas first suggested a “haunted mansion movie”, for which Romancing the Stone writer Diane Thomas wrote a script. Also due to Spielberg’s commitment to completing the trilogy, he dropped out of directing both “Big” and “Rain Man”.įun fact – Big was co-written by Steven’s sister, Anne Spielberg.
After the mixed reception, Spielberg decided to complete the trilogy, not just to fulfill his promise of an Indiana Jones trilogy to his friend George Lucas, but “to apologize for the second one.” They both wanted to revitalize the series by bringing back the more optimistic feel of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
