Here is a comprehensive documentary about one of the best movies of all time, Raiders of the Lost Ark. It includes interviews, rare behind the scenes footage, and photos put together and details with a commentary track that by the looks of things, gives the extras on the DVDs a run for their money.
It’s a must-see for fans of the film or any nerd looking to make their own feature commentary/documentary about something near and dear to their heart. This is the new standard, good luck.
It was created by Jamie Benning, check out his Vimeo page here and see his Star Wars videos too.

A tribute video was created to honor Steven Spielberg when he received the 2012 David O. Selznick Achievement Award from the Producers Guild. The tribute highlights all the films that Spielberg served as Producer, Executive Producer and Director/Producer. Spielberg is well deserved of all of his awards if you ask me, he’s help make some of the best films of our time and few people have made an impact in the industry the way he has.
Accepting the award, Steven Spielberg said about the people put this video together: “I think we should have them working for us”.
The great video was edited by Todd Sandler. Watch it below:

It might be old news that Peter Jackson would be directing the sequel to Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. Truth be told, the movie might still be a hard sell with its motion capture style and if it bombs we may not see a series of these fantastic looking films.
Jackson has confirmed in a recent interview with THR that he plans to direct the sequel to Tintin after he’s finished directing The Hobbit
Spielberg said that they still have yet to get the greenlight, but the studios have allowed them to develop it to the point where it’s ready to go. He explained “[Sony and Paramount] were willing to do one movie with us and then give us the financial wherewithal to develop a script, do all the visual storyboards and get it really in launch position. So we can launch pretty quickly on a second movie. The script is already written.”
The sequel will be called The Adventures Of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun, and the script to the sequel in being written by Anthony Horowitz creator of the Alex Rider series of young-adult spy novels. The plot for the film involves Tintin and his BFF Captain Haddock investigating a strange illness that has befallen seven explorers who have discovered an Incan tomb, before traveling to Peru to get to the bottom of the mystery.
The movie is being released in Europe this week; it’s bound to do well. America on the other hand…we will wait and see.

After George Lucas made some thoughtful and non-contradictory (ahem) changes to Star Wars, some people were scared that it might lead to others following suit. Well fear not when it comes to classics like E.T. and Raiders of the Lost Ark as Steven Spielberg revealed that he has no plans to change anything about the upcoming Blu-ray releases. Couldn’t send some peer pressure Luca’s way though?
At the L.A. Times Hero Complex 30th anniversary screening of Raiders Spielberg said:
For myself, I tried this once and lived to regret it. Not because of fan outrage, but because I was disappointed in myself. I got overly sensitive to [some of the reaction] to E.T., and I thought if technology evolved, [I might go in and change some things]…it was OK for a while, but I realized what I had done was I had robbed people who loved E.T. of their memories of E.T. If I put just one cut of E.T. on Blu-ray and it was the 1982 [version], would anyone object to that? (The crowd yells “NO!” in unison.) OK, so be it. [geektyrant]
So this is good news.

Moviegoers are often torn trying to decide if 3D is worth it or not. It has high ticket prices and it’s used most of the time as a gimmick, wasn’t filmed for 3D (post conversion) and takes away from the movie going experience all around. I digress because Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have something to say about it all.
During the press conference for The Adventures of Tintin, Spielberg and Jackson talked about 3D, a lot of it is the standard argument but worth hearing again for those on the fence. I can’t argue about it anymore, so I’ll let the leaders do it for me.
Here’s what they had to say:
