In a year-long series dedicated to some of Steven Spielberg's greatest films, we pay tribute to his masterpiece 'JAWS' with special guests including: biographer Joseph McBride, Wendy Benchley, co-stars Susan Bachiline and Jeffrey Kramer, screenwriter Carl Gottlieb and members of 'The Shark is Still Working' crew.

Filed under: Thrillers, Deals, Cinematical Indie Fans of the world's most famous writer-director based in Philadelphia need not fear. Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan is not abandoning his creative work as a writer and director in favor of restricting himself to production duties. He has, however, formed a new partnership to produce one thriller per year for three years, according to Variety. M. Night "typically generates more movie ideas than he can execute." The terms of his deal with Media Rights Capital (MRC) mean that M. Night will "create the stories and ideas for the films and pick the writers and directors; MRC will finance." This won't affect his next directorial project, The Last Airbender, which is still set for release by Paramount in 2010. My first thought was that M. Night is following in the footsteps of Steven Spielberg. You might remember that Spielberg created the TV series Amazing Stories in part because he had so many story ideas that he couldn't do himself. He ended up writing or developing 29 stories (out of 45 episodes). Interestingly, Eric Kohn asked M. Night in an interview last month if it wouldn't be easier for him to "go the independent route." Even though the filmmaker said he's "never had an issue with studios," this sounds like a big step in the independent direction. And here's a quote that might warm the heart of anyone, including myself, who has been cool about his recent work: "Working with the next wave of innovative filmmakers will teach me many things that I can bring to my own writing/directing and give my stories the opportunity to be brought to the screen in a stunning way."

Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Warner Brothers, Steven Spielberg, Movie Marketing, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Images, Trailers and Clips Earlier today, you saw the trailer for one of the most anticipated adaptations of all time (no, not that one, this one). And it was amazing. Well, I thought so, anyway, and I'm one of the few people who said "ehh" after reading the graphic novel. Anyway, some of you bigger fans probably watched the new Watchmen trailer over and over and over again, forward and backward, in slow-motion and sped-up to compare the film with the panels in the book. But did you notice the odd lack of continuity in the sequence shown above? Unless you read MTV Movies Blog, or unless you were looking really hard for something like last year's 300 trailer surprise, there's a good chance you missed it. Fortunately, for you, I've done my best to highlight the anomaly after the jump.Continue reading 'Watchmen' Trailer's Spielberg Homaging Easter Egg Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Action, Thrillers, Dreamworks, Steven Spielberg, Movie Marketing, Posters Even though the inevitable backlash against Shia LaBeouf has already begun, you have to respect a guy who made his start in flicks like Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd and made his way to the coveted spot of Spielberg's go-to leading man. Plus, he has a way of making me enjoy films that I normally wouldn't plunk down my hard-earned dollars for. Trust me when I say that it took a lot of restraint not to throw things at the screen during Transformers, so, I really hand it to the guy. Hopefully some of that magic will rub off on the Dreamworks action thriller, Eagle Eye. JoBlo now has the first look at the poster and Mr. LaBeouf seems to really be working the 'intense look' this time around. LaBeouf plays Jerry Shaw, a slacker who returns home after the mysterious death of his successful twin brother -- gee, do you think there will be a case of mistaken identities? Along with a single mother played by Michelle Monaghan, the two are framed as terrorists, and are threatened into becoming members of a cell plotting to assassinate a politician. Joining in on the fun are Rosario Dawson, and Billy Bob Thornton as the two government agents that are a step behind. Eye reunites LaBeouf with Disturbia director, D.J. Caruso, in an action thriller that was originally on Spielberg's to-do list. Now that we got a better look at the film, the longer trailer helped ease some of my concerns that instead of Rear Window, Caruso and company were looking to rip-off North by Northwest this time around. Eagle Eye hits theaters on September 26. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: RumorMonger, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, War Just to clear up, George Lucas is not directing his first non-Star Wars movie in 35 years. I repeat, George Lucas is not returning to the director's chair. Once again ... never mind, I think you've got it. Two days ago there was an AP story about Lucasfilm's Tuskegee Airmen film, Red Tails -- perhaps you caught my post -- but it didn't note what Lucas' involvement would be. As I wrote, the article seemed to assume that he was directing the project. A number of sites around the web also treated the news (more like an update) as if it claimed that Lucas was indeed helming the WWII-set picture. Others speculated that he was taking the reigns. Well, he's not. He's merely serving as executive producer. There is no director signed on yet.Continue reading George Lucas NOT Directing 'Red Tails' Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Drama, Independent, Casting, Deals If you've seen American Beauty, then you already know Kevin Spacey can do a mean pothead on screen -- especially one that is a little ticked at the way his life has turned out. Both skills will come in handy now that Variety has announced that Spacey has signed to star in the indie drama, Shrink. Jonas Pate is already on board to direct Thomas Moffett's script about a celebrity shrink in the midst of a personal crisis. Spacey will play a psychiatrist to the stars who's thrown for a loop by a personal tragedy. When he is unable to deal with the loss, he becomes a chronic pothead and all-around burn out; eventually losing faith in his ability to help his patients. Starring as his various celebrity clients are Saffron Burrows, Jack Huston, Griffin Dunne, Robin Williams, Pell James, Robert Loggia, Keke Palmer, Laura Ramsey, Gore Vidal, Dallas Roberts and Mark Webber.

Filed under: Paramount, Distribution, Dreamworks, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg Over the weekend, Paramount Pictures International went over the $1 billion mark, reportedly thanks to the success of its distribution of summer blockbusters Iron Man ($210 million), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ($350 million) and Kung Fu Panda ($41 million), as well as earlier releases The Spiderwick Chronicles ($91 million), Cloverfield ($90 million) and No Country for Old Men ($86 million). Paramount is the first studio to reach a billion bucks in international grosses this year, and it did so faster than in 2007, when it didn't top the figure until late July. But is it really fair for Paramount to be bragging so much? On her Variety blog, Anne Thompson weighs in on the news, pointing out that all three of the studio's summer blockbusters were produced outside the main studio. Indiana Jones was Lucasfilm; Iron Man was Marvel; Panda was DreamWorks Animation. Of course, Paramount deserves a lot of credit for the marketing of these films, but Thompson wonders what it will be like if DreamWorks really does break away soon. Fortunately it has a good looking slate for the next few years, thanks to next year's toy-based titles Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and G.I. Joe, and then the next four or five Marvel Studios releases in 2010 and 2011.Continue reading Paramount Boasts Billion Dollar B.O. Overseas Read | Read | Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Action, Fandom, Scripts, Steven Spielberg, Remakes and Sequels Well, this is an interesting find, Dr. Jones. Apparently, a PDF document claiming to be Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods, as written by Frank Darabont, has found its way online. There's no word yet on whether it's the real deal, and I haven't had the time to read through the whole thing, but it might be worth a look. To recap: Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) wrote an early draft of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Legend has it Steven Spielberg really liked his draft, but George Lucas did not. Thus, Darabont eventually left the project -- one he'd worked on tirelessly -- time went by, and David Koepp finally wound up with it. But what happened to Darabont's unused script -- the one Spielberg apparently loved? Who knows. Some people say aliens took it one night when Darabont wasn't paying attention, while others believe it was buried with one of them rare crystal skulls in the mountains of Peru. Regardless, folks are saying it's now online and you can read it right here. I'd do it fast, though, because someday a crazy wild-eyed scientist or a kid (or an angry studio) might show up lookin' for that there script (which includes both Papa Jones and Marion, by the way). Again, it could be an elaborate fake. Nevertheless, I suppose you now have something to read while on the shi .... ahem. [Thanks IHoM] Permalink | Email this | Comments

May 22: Dun-da-dun-daa, dun-da-daaa ... That's the sound of George Lucas, Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg teaming up to trade-in on Matty and Adam's childhood memories with the latest installment of the Indiana Jones saga, "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Will Indy battling Cate Blanchett and her cold war Russians elicit the same whimsy and excitement that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" stirred in the souls of a young Adam and Matty? Or will the film's nostalgic pandering leave your intrepid hosts muttering, "Sequels, why did it have to be sequels?" Plus, in recognition of Indy’s much-anticipated return to the screen, Adam and Matty lay out the Top 5 Characters Who Need a Comeback. Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre, music by David Ford and Matty gets a chance to try out his best Barbra Streisand karaoke impression ("People, people who eat people...") as the lads join Chuck Heston and Eddie G.

The final tally was 30% for each with 1 vote separating the two. - "The Motorcycle Diaries" isn't really a 'heavy' or 'depressing' movie... but it popped into my head because a long, long time ago on the show there was some discussion about how my Netflix disc sat at my house for like 4 months before I finally got in the right mood to watch it. - Matty mentioned an 'Ellen' Chenoweth during the Top 5. He meant Kristin. - I mentioned "Men in Black" and "Independence Day" when talking about Will Smith in relation to my #1 pick. I was really thinking of "Bad Boys," which is definitely more of a comedy and features Smith as a cop.
