Stephen Spielberg is planning to make DreamWorks a separate, independent film company
again -- and is trying to raise more than $1 billion in financing to do so, the Hollywood
Reporter reported today (Tuesday), citing no sources. Spielberg, who reportedly
plans to terminate his personal contract with Paramount at the end of the year,
has made no decision yet on who would distribute DreamWorks' movies, but, according
to the trade paper, he is leaning toward Universal, although he might use a potential dist
ribution deal as leverage in his negotiations with Paramount, which acquired DreamWorks
in 2006. The Reporter also indicated that Disney and Fox may also propose
deals to distribute DreamWorks' product.
