If you take a look at the original Jim Steranko concept art for "Raiders of the Lost Ark," you can see the initial plan for Indiana Jones himself was a lot different from Harrison Ford's version. When Indy's first adventure arrived in 1981, Ford debuted in the lead role, portraying a daring archeologist adventurer who wasn't without his flaws, lending the character an everyman appeal that complemented his dynamic presence. But Steranko's original vision for the character had been of a much larger, square-jawed action hero type. While Ford undeniably had the requisite jawline, his build wasn't quite that of the Steranko character. Tom Selleck, on the other hand, couldn't have been a better fit, and George Lucas and Steven Spielberg knew it.
Indiana Jones was Lucas' brainchild, but had been handed over to Spielberg, who would direct the character's first on-screen adventure. And while much of the film's production would prove difficult,...

Martin Scorsese is opening up about why he chose not to direct “Schindler’s List.”
The Oscar winner revealed in a wide-ranging interview with Deadline that he ultimately decided to hand “Schindler’s List” over to Steven Spielberg after the reception to his own controversial 1988 film “The Last Temptation of Christ.” The film depicted the life of Jesus Christ — including temptations toward lust — in ways that sparked outrage from some Christians.
“For ‘Schindler’s List,’ I hired Steve Zaillian, and Steve and I worked on the script. I was about to direct it. But I had reservations at a certain point,” Scorsese said. “Don’t forget, this is 1990, I’d say. I did ‘The Last Temptation of Christ’ in 1988. The whole point of that movie was to start a dialogue about something which is still important to me, which is the nature — the true nature — of love, which could be God, could be Jesus.

Andrew Garfield’s awkward grimace following an Oscars joke has been explained by the ceremony’s producer.
During the event on Sunday (12 March), host Jimmy Kimmel said there would be no repeat of last year’s slap as he had assembled a crack team to prevent such “violence”.
“You’re gonna have to do battle with Michelle Yeoh before you get to me,” he said, while also listing Creed III actor-director Michael B Jordan, Fabelmans director Steve Spielberg and Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal.

The crowd, who had been cheering each actor, appeared confused, and applauded after a delay. Viewers watching at home reacted to the crowd’s “nasty” reaction. It’s been claimed that the assumption was that Tom Holland,...

Fox is the latest broadcast network to unveil its official 2011-12 schedule, and the key word is stability. Save for a few minor tweaks — most notably House’s move to 9 pm on Mondays to make way for Steve Spielberg’s dinosaur epic Terra Nova — the network’s lineup remains virtually unchanged.
Buried in Fox’s announcement is the news that after 23 years, America’s Most Wanted will morph from a weekly series into quarterly specials — which is a fancy way of saying it’s been canceled. “We have not made money on the show in quite a while,” said Fox president Kevin Reilly.
