Close Encounters Of The Third Kind Theatrical Trailer

What do you do when you are the man who can say "I directed Jaws"? You get the two hottest producers in Hollywood (Michael Phillips and Julia Phillips), cut a deal with Columbia, and make your dream project. Spielberg had carte blanche on this movie. He could literally do whatever he wanted after "Jaws". He delivered what many consider to be his masterpiece.

Where would SciFi be without this and Star Wars?

... but then over the course of filming the budget blew up. it was always looked at as a 'modest' film (Spielberg thought he wouldn't director ever again... until Jaws was the biggest film of all time). His REAL Carte-blanche movie was 1941, and it shows. He was still proving himself with CE3K

To @THX1968 (original writer of the text of the video): Actually, Spielberg had been developing Close Encounters of the Third Kind since 1973 - he met up with the Philips while they were in post on The Sting - and work on the script was slow due to a poor draft by Paul Schrader and other projects (i.e. Taxi Driver/Jaws). What Jaws did do was to allow some leniency at Columbia, since Spielberg originally told them the budget would be 2.8 (never really believing it), then it was 5.4...

X-File .0 . It was BIG in the seventies, it comes in waves at particular times in history. It is controlled now in the media. The last you heard MAJOR mention of was the UFO over O'Hare in Chicago a few years ago. They couldn't deny that but most won't even recall it because it's news fit for History Channel Alien Specials. This is all part of the Disinformation strategy; make the radicals look pathetic and absolutely nuts to dilute ANY truth they may be on to.

These is the best trailler a have ever seen.

@kallemick Well, to each his/her own, but had Star Wars not been made, Trek would've had a so-so return to TV in the late 70's and then probably faded out again. It was because of Star Wars that Paramount suddenly wanted to bring Trek back and into theaters, which then spawned sequels and later TNG and the subsequent shows. I personally love both as they both have their strengths and weaknesses.

@ForceMaximus84 without this it wouldnt be much without star wars not much difference star wars isnt that great if you ask me i prefer star trek its tv shows and is not just all action and they dont get updated all the time
