EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ; PRODUCTION. UK ; PRODUCTION. USA ; PRODUCTION COMPANIES & STUDIOS ; GOVERNMENT AID ; FOX STUDIOS AUSTRALIA Summary: Studio complexes are an important part of the way places around the world compete for and participate in international production. Many studios, in a range of locations, now have the size and sophistication to service large-budget feature film production. This comprehensive study of contemporary international studio considers the circumstances in which this rash of studio complex building and renovating has occurred – in places as diverse as Rome, London, Berlin, Prague, Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, the Gold Coast and Melbourne. Central to the study is an understanding of studio complexes as cinema and media cities providing not only sound stages but a full range of production and post-production services in the one location. Cinema Cities, Media Cities is the first published analysis of this new international studio system, its origins, its business and its policy contexts. [Taken from back cover.]ISBN: 0958015279

Then came the Circus Maximus created by director Steven Spielberg, billionaire David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg (who gave the world The Lion King). Nothing in decades had approached the excitement surrounding the empire called DreamWorks, where hype, glory, and investors vying to kick in billions gave way to blowups, battles, and betrayals worthy of THE GODFATHER. Nicole LaPorte reveals for the first time the delicious truths of what happened behind the scenes. Readers will feel they are part of the creative calamities of moviemaking as LaPorte's fly-on-the-wall detail shows us Hollywood's bizarre rules of business. We see clashes between the often otherworldly Spielberg's troops and Katzenberg's warriors, the debacles and disasters, but also the Oscar-winning triumphs, such as SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. We see Geffen seducing investors and watch as the studio burns through billions while its rich owners get richer and everybody else suffers. Here is Hollywood - up close, glamorous, and gritty."

The RKO story / Richard B. Jewell with Vernon Harbin London: Octopus, 1982.
Call No: 19RKO JEW; FOLIOAuthor: Jewell, Richard B ; Harbin, Vernon Source: USPlace: LondonPublisher: OctopusPubDate: 1982PhysDes: 320 p. : ill. (some col.), ports. ; 33 cmSubject: INDUSTRY, FILM ; PRODUCTION CENTRES : HOLLYWOOD ; RKO Summary: "RKO Pictures existed in an atmosphere of almost continual chaos, from its optimistic beginnings in 1928, until it collapsed into ruins in the hands of the megalomaniac Howard Hughes nearly 30 years later. In its comparatively short and always turbulent history RKO made some of the greatest films and nurtured some of the finest talents ever to emerge from Hollywood - and allowed others, such as David O. Selznick, to slip disastrously through its fingers. It was the studio that immortalized Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and almost succeeded in ruining Katharine Hepburn's career. It brought to stardom Irene Dunne, Bette Davis, Robert Mitchum and Cary Grant among others, unveiled the genius of Orson Wells [sic] and established KING KONG and TARZAN in popular mythology. They are all here in a detailed account of their triumphs and their failures, together with a fully illustrated description and assessment of all the films they made."
