This article contains The Fabelmans spoilers.
Do you want to meet the greatest film director who ever lived? That would be a loaded question in any context, but it has extra weight in Steven Spielberg’s new release, The Fabelmans. With the film being a semi-autobiographical portrait of the legendary filmmaker’s own adolescent years, the picture feels in many ways like a rare window into meeting the real Spielberg—or at least the Spielberg as imagined in the director’s own head.
While the film has a thin layer of artistic license, anyone can see it’s a rumination by an auteur of a certain age in his early halcyon days. And for many audience members, Spielberg is the greatest film director who ever lived. Jaws, E.T. Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Jurassic Park—to name but a few—are considered...

This year, the Writers Guild of America quietly prevailed in establishing that Hogan's Heroes creators Bernard Fein and Albert Ruddy were entitled to "separated rights" in the story of a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War II. As a result of an arbitrator's March decision, Ruddy has reportedly been working on a feature film version of the TV series, which ran from 1965 to 1971 on CBS. But Rysher Entertainment, which is a successor to Bing Cosby Productions, the producer of the original series, continues to challenge the arbitrator's ruling.

And you thought news that Hollywood was making a Good Times movie was the weirdest, most-unexpected TV-to-movie story that you would hear this week. No, Deadline now reports that after a 10-year legal battle, the rights to the once-successful sitcom Hogan.s Heroes will return to show creators Albert S. Ruddy and the late Bernard Fein, with Ruddy planning to produce a feature film in celebration. Ruddy and the Fein estate have been warring with Bing Crosby Productions, which originally produced Heroes in the late 1960s and is currently owned by Dallas Mavericks owner (and all-around billionaire) Mark Cuban.

Hogan, leader of a band of misfits in a German Pow camp who made life miserable for Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Werner Klemperer). This...
