DanHOST
I'm looking him up.
DanHOST
Uh, anyway, um, he wrote and directed this thing and, uh, Amblin produced this and also JJ Abrams, I think produced this.
DanHOST
So it's very influenced by J.J. Abrams and Spielberg, and it feels that way, but I love the dark edge it has.
DanHOST
Oh, yeah.
Rob LiefeldHOST
Uh, but that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to these incredible Norman Rockwells.
Rob LiefeldHOST
I mean, the, the, the, the amount of Norman Rockwells, uh, in, in this gallery, uh, we may be looking at the greatest concentration of Norman Rockwells outside of Steven Spielberg's Amblin offices.
Rob LiefeldHOST
I've mentioned it to you before when you go there, and I went there in 1992, behind giant bulletproof glass, giant encasements are at least eight of the finest.
Rob LiefeldHOST
And here's, here's the other dozen, okay? Norman Rockwells.
Denise DiNoviGUEST
not have a worse nightmare of a movie to open against and it you know it did not do well luckily i got from female critics it terrified male critics but i got enough good reviews where um And enough people liked the movie that I started, you know, I was developing two projects to direct again.
Denise DiNoviGUEST
One at Amblin, which, you know, luckily enough, I had a period of developing the movie with Steven Spielberg, which was a thrill.
Denise DiNoviGUEST
But it was weird, Todd.
Denise DiNoviGUEST
I got to a point and I thought, do I want to spend another two or three years developing a movie to direct? I had like three movies that could go as a producer.
Ryan DackoHOST
I got out of the military.
Ryan DackoHOST
I started a film company, and we did, uh, two feature films.
Ryan DackoHOST
Had a documentary go to Netflix.
Ryan DackoHOST
Parlayed that into working on high-voltage power lines.
12 MINS LATER
Ryan DackoHOST
They can throw a rock in a water, and that ripple just extends on forever.
Ryan DackoHOST
And we don't know where this is gonna go.
Ryan DackoHOST
We're hoping that Mr. Spielberg with, uh, with his company, Amblin, takes this on as a feature film.
Ryan DackoHOST
Uh, we're trying to show that a prequel to Jaws, once you watch it or once you read the novel, changes the way you see Quint in Jaws.
speaker_2HOST
We talked about how War of the Worlds was just added to Apple TV at the very start of September.
speaker_2HOST
Is that a total happy coincidence or is it a highly calculated, synchronized move by the industry like a literal handshake behind closed doors between Apple, Universal, Amblin and whoever else is involved to whip up a Spielberg frenzy just weeks before his brand new movie makes its grand streaming debut?
speaker_1HOST
Well, whether it was negotiated specifically for this purpose months in advance or whether it was just a fortuitous alignment of existing licensing windows, the psychological effect on the consumer is exactly identical.
speaker_1HOST
True.
Ian DukesHOST
That man bewitched us with that movie.
Jon DrakeHOST
He really did, but this is a much more straightforward Amblin-style thriller but with more of a mean streak than you expect from those type of movies.
Jon DrakeHOST
I'm not spoiling anything to say the movie is about a suburban family in the early 1980s who, they gotta deal with some dinosaurs.
Ian DukesHOST
Oh.
speaker_4HOST
Agent J is a new recruit, but the dynamic between them is much closer to a paranoid, gritty conspiracy thriller than a buddy cop comedy.
speaker_3HOST
So Sony and Amblin Entertainment get their hands on these six black and white issues.
speaker_3HOST
They look at this indie comic, and they realize it's a goldmine of world building.
speaker_4HOST
They saw the potential immediately.
Jordan GrantHOST
Well, I think he developed the story for it.
Jordan GrantHOST
Obviously, Universal and Amblin because it's Steven Spielberg.
Jordan GrantHOST
If you're at Universal Studios Orlando, you should check out the Steven Spielberg exhibit.
Jordan GrantHOST
Super cool, authentic stuff.
Steven SeighmanHOST
Oh, you're right, right, right
Mike MessineoHOST
... that Scorsese was actually rewriting the script for and working on in that moment, both being produced by Amblin.
Mike MessineoHOST
So they're both movies that Spielberg had shepherded.
Mike MessineoHOST
But Scorsese was, was looking at doing Schindler's List, and at one point, they had a conversation, and I think that, that Spielberg realized or Scorsese convinced him that Schindler's List was truly the project of his life that he needed to do.
speaker_7HOST
The 1995 film is the foundational text for what they're attempting to do here, which makes the involvement of Steven Spielberg so critical.
speaker_6HOST
Because he executive produced that original 1995 Universal movie via his Amblin Entertainment banner, and he is back.
speaker_7HOST
He's officially executive producing this new 2026 series right alongside Letterman and Winston.
speaker_6HOST
We're talking about a 30-year gap in an industry where executives are fired after a single bad weekend at the box office and properties are bought and sold like trading cards.
speaker_6HOST
It's incredibly rare.
speaker_6HOST
Usually when Legacy IP is rebooted decades later, original producers are either bought out of their contracts, given a meaningless vanity credit, or completely sidelined by the new corporate regime.
speaker_7HOST
For Spielberg to remain actively attached and to lend the immense weight of his name and Amblin Entertainment to a streaming television series signifies a profound level of investment.
speaker_7HOST
It acts as a crucial seal of quality control.
