Follow Me, I Know The Way... #Iwannaholdyourhand

Steven Spielberg, together with Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale
The Beardless Trio ?

Cleaning up one's attic can be very surprising from time to time
During my recent Spring cleaning (I know, it was far too early), 
I recently found this still, that I hadn't seen before.

It shows Steven Spielberg, together with Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale 
on the set of I Wanna Hold Your Hand in 1977

I wanna hold your hand

This film will go into the books as 
the first ever feature to have Steven Spielberg aboard as an Executive Producer.
Although it was filmed for a rather modest budget ($2,7 million), Universal didn't like the fact that Spielberg wanted to hire a young and inexperienced Robert Zemeckis to direct the film. 
So they made Spielberg agree to step in whenever Zemeckis would be doing a poor job. 
Spielberg would than overtake his chair the film and direct it himself.

As things turned out however, 
this film would be the first of many collaborations between Spielberg, Zemeckis and Gale.

On the set of Back to the Future.

I only recently obtained a copy of the film, but haven't yet had a chance to sit down and enjoy it.

Let us know what you thought of it. 

Ronny.

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA.  This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
