Spielberg
A couple of amusing tidbits from TCM's Spielberg documentary last night:
- George Lucas visited the set of "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind" and was convinced it would be far more successful than his own "Star Wars". He offered to trade points with Spielberg, so Spielberg has a 2.5 percent share of "Star Wars" and Lucas has 2.5 percent of "CE3K". Obviously both these people are so rich they probably can't tell the difference, but that's still a pretty good swap for Spielberg!
- On the failure of 1941, Spielberg thinks it might have been due to the high level of violence and noise in the battle sequences. He describes seeing the audiences watching the film, holding their ears because of all the gunfire and explosions. Spielberg said that it wasn't to do with the sound editing or effects, he just "blew too much stuff up". This from the producer of "Transformers".
