Read on for details.
Spielberg Talks "Indy 4," "Jurassic Park 4," "Transformers," etc.
You simply won’t find a bigger Steven Spielberg fan than Steven Awalt. The guy’s website, SpielbergFilms.com, is an absolute shrine to one of the planet’s most beloved filmmakers. Heck, the man himself even stops in from time to time to keep up with all the gossip. (He was never asked to direct "Angels & Demons," by the way.) Anyway, Steven A. finally got to interview Steven S., and the result is a few mild scoops.

Geeks from across the world will converge at the San Diego Convention Center today to get their annual fix of comics, movies, and pop culture, and RT will be right there bringing you coverage of the panels, major announcements, interviews, and the daily B.O. levels from the floor (and I don’t mean Box Office).
