couldnt be arsed/didnt want to pay for all the licencing they would need to do it right.

Their mistake was hiring Spielberg to direct it. I read that Spielberg didn't want any of his films in it, because he felt it would seem self serving. That resulted in gutting out a large percentage of the original references from the book.
