Who is the most profitable movie director of all time? Steven Spielberg of course… But who is the second biggest money maker in Hollywood? That question isn’t as easy to answer, is it? I decided to put together a listing of the Top 10 Most Profitable Movie Directors of All Time:
Steven Spielberg
Filmography: Munich, War of [...]

The UK’s Sunday Times is reporting that Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) has been “persuaded by Steven Spielberg” to play Abbie Hoffman, in the upcoming film The Trial of the Chicago Seven.
Written by Aaron Sorkin, and based on the true story of the seven defendants charged with conspiracy and inciting to riot at the 1968 Democratic [...]

Peter Jackson regular Andy Serkis (you know, the guy behind the characters of Golumn and King Kong) has signed on to star in the upcoming Tintin trilogy. No word on what character (or characters) Serkis might play.  The film will be shot using performance capture technology similar to that used on Beowulf. And the completed [...]

At least 5,000 3-D systems expected to be in place by 2009. DreamWorks Animation’s Jeffrey Katzenberg expects there to be 12 to 18 3D feature films by 2010. 3-D is clearly the future of cinema, at least for the near future. With the recent announcements of Tim Burton’s Alice and Wonderland/Frankenweenie, and today’s announcement of [...]

The rift between Paramount and DreamWorks is no secret. Many industry insiders expected a split sooner rather than later. Today DreamWorks and Universal heads were seen breaking bread together, could this mean that Universal/DreamWorks won’t be far behind? Nikki Finke reports:
“Jeff Zucker and Ron Meyer had lunch in the Universal Studios commissary today with Steven [...]

Lionsgate is running a SAW marathon in some cities on October 25th starting at 6:00pm. So if you want to see the whole Jigsaw series from the beginning, this may be your chance. I’m not sure exactly how this will be run, if there will be a break or intermission (I assume that will be [...]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull finally wrapped this week, but only after shooting at Chandler Field in Fresno, CA. Brodie Mash went over to field and watched on with excitement as Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg (who was heard, but not seen) were shooting a scene that [...]

I just got off the Universal backlot where Indiana Jones 4 is currently a few days from wrapping production.  A small group of online press including myself were invited  by Steven Spielberg himself to reward the online press for aiding in the capture of a thief who stole thousands of photographs, scripts and the budget [...]

There was a break-in at the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull production offices on the Universal lot, which resulted in the loss of 2,500 production photos (including close-ups of all the props including the Crystal skulls and many more spoiler filled photos),the 400-page production budget for the film, and possible scripts [...]

British screenwriter Steve Moffatt (Doctor Who, Coupling) has been hired write an adaptation of the Eurpean comic strip The Adventures of Tintin for Dreamworks. As you already know,  Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackscon have signed on to direct a trilogy of films based on Georges Remi’s Belgian. It’s a passion project. Spielberg has been trying [...]

Sally Field (Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire) has signed on to play Mary Todd, the wife of the sixteenth President of the United States in Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln. Based on the biography by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin (Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln), Liam Neeson (Star Wars: Episode I, Batman Begins) [...]

Paramount made a very bad decision earlier this week when it was announced an exclusive partnership with HD-DVD. HD-DVD is clearly the losing format at this point in the next gen format war. Most of the other studios have decided to support Blu-Ray. Nikki Finke is reporting that the HD-DVD camp is paying over $150 [...]

 
IndianaJones.com has been updated with a new video diary “Reuniting The Family”. Director Steven Spielberg, Producers George Lucas, Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy, and star Harrison Ford talk about coming back for a fourth film. It seems like most of the interviews were done before production. The package is cut to clips from the first [...]

BloodyDisgusting reports that Universal Pictures has begun casting for Jurassic Park IV. Apparently the new film involves dinosaurs which have been outfitted with weapons by the US government (presumably for battle purposes). If this is true, than Universal should shut down production right now. It’s one thing to expect such stupidity from the recent batch [...]

Once is still one of my favorite movies of 2007. The little indie Irish-made musical (would you even call it a musical?) released earlier this year is still selling chugging away at the independent box office. It seems like uber-director Steven Spielberg has also fallen in love with the film.
“A little movie called Once gave [...]
