From Jaws to Jurassic Park , Spielberg's films demonstrate a great appreciation for "movie magic." This is evident in an anecdote from production designer Rick Carter , who asked Spielberg during production on Jurassic Park how the T-Rex suddenly appears in the Visitors Center during the finale. Carter was asking logically, but Spielberg responded "from the top of the fra
In a roughly 40-second opening shot, Spielberg introduces the audience to everything they need to know visually about Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford). As the Paramount Pictures logo fades into a real mountaintop, our hero walks into the frame, allowing the audience to take in the iconic visage that'll define him for decades: a leather jacket, bullwhip, and fedora
One of my favorite scenes in all of movie history is the scene in the valley where he's about to destroy it, and you get that amazing speech about the ark and humanity passing through history. I just want to dive into that: how it was written, how you approached it on set, what direction you were given. I'd love to just learn a bit more about that sc
But that thing with Harrison doing the shooting instead of the sword sequence, which was rehearsed, was because he got ill. It wasn't for time purposes. We all got dysentery from Tunisia, working there. I think the only people who didn't get ill were Steven, who had his food flown in cans from Fortnum & Mason, and Howard G. Kazanjian, the producer. Everyone else at some point or other got ill, I think - I'm trying to remember whether Karen got ill. Anyway, I got ill right at the end of the picture. But Harrison got ill when he was meant to do that sword fight that he'd rehearsed the day before, and he just couldn't move that much. If he'd moved, he'd have had a terrible accident. So he said, "Why don't I just shoot the f*cker?" And that's how that wonderful moment came aro
Perhaps what sums up Raiders' greatness __ is that it reflects the importance of filmmakers having a vision and being allowed to make the kind of movie they want. In an age of shared universes and formulaic filmmaking, it's refreshing to see a director know exactly what he wants and how to translate it into movie ma
There was a different kind of intensity. Because of 1941, the intensity was in the speed with which we had to make it. Steven has spoken about this quite a bit since, but it taught him that you didn't need to take all the time he was taking in making a movie before; that he could work fast without losing the quality. They had all sorts of clauses in their contract between each other, Steven and George, to make sure that Steven came in on time and under budget - which he did. It was a very fast shoot, in the sense that in Tunisia in the heat there, Steven would run between setups. The film crew was the same film crew that I'd been working with on Dogs of War immediately before in Belize, which was hot too - and humid heat. But in Tunisia, they were falling asleep at lunchtime in their food because Steven was just running them ragged. As soon as he said "Cut!" in one set, he would run across the sand to the next set and say, "Alright, I'm here! Next." He drove the thing like a steam eng
The last of the Jurassic Park movies with middling reviews was from Spielberg himself and centered on Jeff Goldblum's side character from the original movie, Dr. Ian Malcolm , as he travels to the previously-unexplored second island of the Park's prehistoric wo
