As Hollywood celebrates the badly needed bonanza that is Barbenheimer, we take you back to what many consider the movie that invented the very notion of summer blockbusters. In an exclusive excerpt from the new book Spielberg: The First Ten Years, author and filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau goes long with the Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg about all aspects of the now classic movie, from alternate casting possibilities (Lee Marvin, Jon Voight, and Jeff Bridgesamong them), to the near-revolt he faced from the crew, and more. He even offers an apology, all these years later, to the special effects team that built the mechanical great white shark: “That’s a much-maligned shark, and I am kind of responsible for creating a lot of bad-mouthing about it.” Dive in now. The water’s fine!
Elsewhere in our Hollywood coverage today, Savannah Walsh revisits a prescient old cover of ours, “It’s Totally Raining Teens!” on the occasion of its 20th birthday. Rebecca Ford talks to Oppenheimer composer Ludwig Göranssonabout the creation of his singular score. Matthew López,director and cowriter of the upcoming romantic comedy Red, White, & Royal Blue, tells all about bringing a beloved queer beach read to the screen. And Barbie director Greta Gerwigand her editor reveal some of the many gags that wound up on the cutting room floor, including a “fart opera.”
