in 1976, a young director managed to convince 20th Century Fox to produce a movie based on a script that he wrote. the title of the script was "The Adventures of Luke Starkiller as taken from the Journal of the Whills."
the studio wasn't terribly confident of the director, George Lucas, and decided to pay him just $200,000, in exchange for the sequel and merchandising rights. the budget for the movie was $11m and was released as "Star Wars" in 1977. To date, Star Wars has grossed $775m. #bcc
