Zak Penn Reveals George Lucas Visited Spielberg On Set Of Ready Player One.

The Ready Player One promotion circuit hit Wondercon yesterday and a panel of Ernest Cline, screenwriter Zak Penn, Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Lena Waithe, Ben Mendelsohn, Philip Zhao, and Win Morisaki were in attendance to promote the Steven Spielberg movie. 

Ernest Cline revealed that Ready Player One was his favourite Steven Spielberg movie ever and Ready Player One would never have happened if it wasn't for the bearded director.

An interesting story was told by screenwriter Zak Penn.  He remembers when George Lucas showed up on set and gave Spielberg a hard time for shooting on digital.  Zak said it was like watching two 10-year-old friends arguing.

Also paying a visit to the set was Tom Cruise remembered by Olivia Cooke who embarrassingly recalls "that she blacked out, but that she was told that she bowed as though he were royalty."

Tye Sheridan praised Steven Spielberg and said he’s a child — he’s a film nerd...That’s why there’s so much camaraderie among all characters.”

Ready Player One is set for release on March 29, 2018.

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.

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.
