RB's Stage 32 News, Notes, Discussions and Other Fun Stuff (June 26, 2015)
Welcome to the weekend, everyone. Steven Spielberg’s Jaws was released 40 years ago this week causing an entire generation to be fearful of the ocean and an entire industry to be fearful of a platform release. OK, maybe the latter part of that sentence is a slight exaggeration, but there’s no questioning Jaws’ impact on the Hollywood summer blockbuster strategy in place for the last 3+ decades. In this edition of the Weekend Blog, I have two great articles speaking to …

Welcome to the weekend, everyone. Lots of content for you this week. Let’s get right to it. Under ENTERTAINMENT NEWS, a really cool story on Marlon Brando and his secret A-List Acting School.

Welcome to the weekend, everyone. Finally back in the States after a remarkable 3+ weeks of business (and just a little pleasure) in France. Stage 32’s presence at the Cannes Film Festival was one to remember and our panel on social media, crowdsourcing and the state of the industry at the NEXT Pavilion was a huge smash. I’ll have more on what went down next week. In the meantime, let’s get to the action. This week under ENTERTAINMENT NEWS, Steve Martin ponders (amongst other things) w…

Welcome to the weekend, everyone. The excitement continues here at Stage 32.
