Steven Spielberg Is Proud That Indiana Jones 4 Created A New Pop Culture Phrase
While Steven Spielberg could brush off fans’ criticism of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with a more eloquent version of “I’m Steven Spielberg, bitch,” he’s actually really optimistic about the negative reaction. More »
Nerd News: Stephen King’s Under the Dome Hits Showtime
No, I don’t mean that the book physically attacked Showtime, though given that we’re talking about Stephen King here, that wouldn’t actually strike me as terribly odd. What I DO mean, though, is that Under the Dome is set to become a television show on the network that brings us that other wonderful-yet-disturbing novel-to-TV adaptation Dexter. Even more exciting? Steven Spielberg will be helping make it happen. And Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull aside, Spielberg still usually knows what he’s doing (unlike George Lucas). Exciting news? Could be, could be!

Virgin Viewing: ‘Jaws’
When I first launched this feature last week, most of the people in my life had one response: “You’ve never seen what?!” Usually, my argument against seeing a particular classic film is “Well, I already know how it ends.” That’s what happens when movies are so hugely relevant in our cultural zeitgeist – we’ve seen enough parodies and caught enough references that we feel like we’ve seen a movie, even when we haven’t. But there was another reason for me not having seen Jaws – I don’t like scary movies. In other words, I am a giant fucking wuss. More »
Crushable Quote Of The Day: Shut Up, Shia LaBeouf
You know what’s terrible PR for your movies, Shia? When you start shitting all over them. It’s like you are unaware of the fact that you make your living starring Transformers 2 and the revived Indiana Jones series, and instead want us all to know that you are as totally over these ridiculous blockbusters as we are. Sorry, but the entertainment industry doesn’t work like that, and now that Megan Fox has been fired/quit Transformers 3, you might want to… More »

Economic concerns might affect Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows split
In a new article at The Independent, there is some speculation that worldwide recession woes might actually affect the Deathly Hallows two-parter. Here’s more:
The wider film industry is expecting to tighten its belt in 2009 with even blue-chip film-makers unable to raise funds. Steven Spielberg’s Dreamworks company is facing a rocky new year after failing to raise the $750m it needs to produce its slate of 17 films.

Steven Spielberg will not be directing Deathly Hallows
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), Steven Spielberg will NOT be directing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, according to Daniel Radcliffe. Here’s what he had to say when asked about the possibility recently:
Speaking at a recent awards ceremony in London, he said, “It’s absolute rubbish that Spielberg is directing the final film. It’s not true. There’s absolutely no foundation in that at all. I have no idea how that rumour started or where it… More »
