It’s always an exciting Oscar year when Steven Spielberg has a new movie coming out, which, thankfully, is quite often. We’re all very lucky to be living through the era of Spielberg. For me, it’s been my entire life. There will never be another. It is not an exaggeration to say he’s one of the greatest directors this country has produced.

Here is an interesting video on seven ways Spielberg “crafts the ultimate cinematic experience,” by StudioBinder.

Meanwhile, Jaws and E.T. are coming to IMAX:

UNIVERSAL PICTURES AND AMBLIN ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCE NEW IMAX® THEATRICAL RELEASES OF
THE STEVEN SPIELBERG CLASSICS
E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL AND JAWS
 
FOR THE FIRST TIME, AUDIENCES WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THESE TWO
CULTURE-DEFINING FILMS BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE
 
E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL WILL BE RELEASED EXCLUSIVELY ON
IMAX SCREENS NATIONWIDE BEGINNING AUGUST 12,
TO CELEBRATE THE FILM’S 40TH ANNIVERSARY
 
JAWS WILL BE RELEASED ON IMAX SCREENS AND ALSO IN RealD 3D
BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 2
 
The exclusive IMAX-only trailer for E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
will premiere on screenings of Jurassic World Dominion starting June 10
 
Universal City, Calif., June 9, 2022 — Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment today announced that, for the first time, U.S. audiences will be able to experience two classic, culture-defining Steven Spielberg films—E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Jaws—on IMAX® screens nationwide.
 
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial will be released exclusively on IMAX screens beginning August 12, to celebrate the film’s 40th Anniversary. Jaws will be released on IMAX screens and also in RealD 3D beginning September 2.
 
The trailer for the new IMAX release of E.T. will premiere exclusively on screenings of Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s Jurassic World Dominion on June 10, almost 40 years to the day since E.T.originally debuted in theaters on June 11, 1982.
 
“Universal is honored to have been a part of so many extraordinary, unforgettable Steven Spielberg films over the past 47 years, including Jaws in 1975, E.T. in 1982 and Jurassic Park in 1993,” said Jim Orr, president of domestic theatrical distribution for Universal Pictures. “No filmmaker, it’s fair to say, has had a greater or more enduring impact on American cinema or has created more indelible cinematic memories for tens of billions of people worldwide. We couldn’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate the anniversary of E.T. and the first Universal-Spielberg summer blockbuster, Jaws, than to allow audiences to experience these films in a way they’ve never been able to before.”  
 
“IMAX is thrilled to partner with Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment to offer audiences the opportunity to experience these two iconic films in IMAX for the very first time,” said Megan Colligan, President of IMAX Entertainment.  “Steven Spielberg redefined modern cinema and ushered in a new era of bold, swing-for-the-fences filmmaking, and the IMAX Experience has expanded around the world because of the trail blazed by films like E.T. and Jaws.”
 
“Jaws redefined what it means to be a summer-event blockbuster and now for the first time ever audiences can experience Steven Spielberg’s motion picture classic in 3D,” said Travis Reid, CEO & President, Cinema, RealD. “Everything that made Jaws a sensation and a fan favorite for nearly 50 years will be enhanced in RealD 3D, allowing fans a completely new opportunity to immerse themselves in one of the greatest summer suspense thrillers of all time.”
 
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, originally released in the summer of 1982, not only soared to become the highest-grossing film of the year, capturing four Academy Awards® and nine Oscar® nominations including Best Picture, but it also captured the hearts of audiences around the globe. Four decades later, it still ignites the joy, wonder, discovery, magic and heartbreak of childhood.
 
Originally released on June 20, 1975, Jaws, based on the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley, became the first true summer blockbuster and a cultural tsunami. It shattered every record to become the highest-grossing film of the year, earning a nomination for Best Picture and winning three Academy Awards®, including one for John Williams’ iconic musical score. Almost five decades later, Jaws has become inexorable from global film culture, has inspired multiple generations of filmmakers and remains one of the most thrilling, terrifying and unforgettable films of all time.
