"It's well known that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are close friends, so when Lucas' STAR WARS eclipsed Spielberg's JAWS as the all-time box-office leader back in 1977, Spielberg took out a full-page ad in Variety magazine congratulating his old pal.⠀ ⠀ Once Spielberg's E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL reclaimed the box-office throne in 1982, Lucas returned the favor by taking out his own full-page ad in Variety. Lucas kept the tradition alive, taking out [a] full-page ad when, in 1998, James Cameron's TITANIC sank the reissue of STAR WARS to become the top box-office movie of all time." ⠀ ⠀ - @BusinessInsider⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ➡Learn more about the making of STAR WARS in LADDIE: THE MAN BEHIND THE MOVIES by following the LINK IN OUR BIO. ⬆⠀⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #laddiemovie #alanladdjr #hulu #movieproducer #filmproducer #starwars #themanwhosavedstarwars #vintage #1970s #seventies #vhscollector #hollywood #stevenspielberg #hollywood #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinephile #filmcollection #80smovies #moviemaking #documentary #director #scifi #1980s #vhs #productionlife #filmproduction #production #movies #nostalgia

"Lucas found a kindred spirit in Laddie. Both were quiet men who kept their thoughts close to their chests. They were both 'juniors', sons of overbearing fathers who shared their names. Ladd prided himself on opening his door to talent, and many directors and stars disenchanted with what was happening at other studios had come to make movies at Fox. He likes to take a chance on a maverick. Ladd had seen- and more importantly, liked - THX 1138 and he was a fan of AMERICAN GRAFFITI. He was also aware of the troubled time Lucas and Coppola had endured at Universal over the film's release." - "A Brief Guide to Star Wars" By Brian J.

"When [George] Lucas' previous movie AMERICAN GRAFFITI turned into a huge hit, the director's agent, Jeff Berg, asked Fox to up his STAR WARS fees by a few hundred thousand dollars. But Lucas then offered to forgo a raise in exchange for sequel rights — and later asked for merchandising in exchange for the first sequel. 'When that deal came up,' admits Ladd, 'I said fine. At the time, merchandising meant nothing at all. JAWS had some sharks, �but that was it. So we said, 'Let's give him the merchandising.'" -The Hollywood Reporter, "Alan Ladd Jr. on Greenlighting 'Star Wars' and Reviving a Struggling Studio", August 2018 ➡Watch LADDIE: THE MAN BEHIND THE MOVIES by following the LINK IN OUR BIO. ⬆You can find us on Hulu, iTunes, Amazon Prime Video or Google Play. . . . #starwars #starwarsfan #hansolo #20thcenturyfox #cinema #cinephile #LosAngeles #icon #hollywood #documentary #cine #cinemalovers #setlife #onset #studiolife #themanwhosavedstarwars #behindthescenes #studio #laddiemovie #alanladdjr #itunes #googleplay #primevideo #hulu #scifi #space #director #movie #nowwatching #bingeworthy

"He and George [Lucas] had this sort of cinema short hand. He was able to see when the dailies were coming in. And they were rough. The two worlds, the ILM world and the production world weren’t joined yet. But my Dad was able to see! 'Okay, this was that part that he was talking about. This is Damn Busters.'… And if [George] was having that conversation with a Studio Head who didn’t have the amazing love and knowledge of films that my Dad had, that conversation wouldn’t have happened.

"Fortunately, I was in a position where they really let me do what I wanted to do and make pictures I wanted to make. It was not corporate in any way. Quite frankly I don’t think anybody would’ve made STAR WARS again if it had been by committee. Now it’s become a business of, how much do you think it will make domestically as well as foreign? People are making all kinds of decisions of what to do with films. And I didn’t have that problem. It was a very nice time when I was there." -Alan Ladd Jr., VARIETY, 2019 Alan Ladd Jr. greenlit STAR WARS when no one else would.

"Gone is the back lot that was home to Andy Hardy and the yellow brick road. Gone too are those classic films, having been sold to Ted Turner. MGM, which is really nothing more than some offices in an array of high-rises these days, is about the last place movie makers peddle their ideas. But those same executives give Ladd some shot at success, given his track record. At 53, he has earned a reputation as one of Hollywood's most likable and bankable studio chiefs." - From a 1990 LA Times article announcing Laddie's new role as head of MGM, Alan Citron and Nina J.

Did Steven Spielberg make $40 million on Star Wars from a friendly bet? Fansided tells the story of the legend in a recent article, "...“George came back from ‘Star Wars’ a nervous wreck,” Spielberg said in an interview with Turner Classic Films. “He didn’t feel ‘Star Wars’ came up to the vision he initially had. He felt he had just made this little kids’ movie.” Couple that with what Spielberg was accomplishing on set and it was enough to make Lucas feel like Star Wars could never live up to Close Encounters of The Third Kind. after some back and forth, Lucas was so certain that his movie would make less money, he proposed a bet. “He said, ‘Oh my God, your movie is going to be so much more successful than ‘Star Wars’! This is gonna be the biggest hit of all time. I can’t believe this set. I can’t believe what you’re getting, and oh my goodness.’ He said, ‘All right, I’ll tell you what. I’ll trade some points with you. You want to trade some points? I’ll give you 2.5% of ‘Star Wars’ if you give me 2.5% of ‘Close Encounters.’ So I said, ‘Sure, I’ll gamble with that. Great.'” -Jason Burke, dorksideoftheforce.com, Fansided "Steven Spielberg and the great $40 million Star Wars swindle" . . . #starwars #wookie #darthvader #starwarsfan #theforceawakens #stormtrooper #empire #jedi #thelastjedi #skywalker #jedimindtricks #yoda #r2d2 #cosplay #laddie #cinema #cinephile #hollywood #documentary #moviebuff #scifi #space #sciencefiction #geek #nerd #movies #filmfeed #future #futuristic #themanwhosavedstarwars
"I flew to Beverly Hills and checked in at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Grant Tinker, the chairman of NBC, was making a telephone call in the lobby. Alan Ladd Jr., the president of MGM/UA, strolled through with Guy McElwaine, the chairman of Columbia Pictures, and Barry Diller, the chairman of Twentieth Century Fox, rushed past on his way to a meeting. In my room I found a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine, a basket of fruit, and a personal note of welcome from Burton Slatkin, chairman of the board. The telephone operator called me by name on my first call. In spite of everything, the Beverly Hills Hotel was still the Beverly Hills Hotel." -Dominick Dunne, "Beverly Hills Coup", Vanity Fair, August 1986 . . . #laddie #Alanladdjr #cinema #cinephile #LosAngeles #beverlyhills #icon #hollywood #documentary #cine #cinemalovers #cinephilecommunity #movielovers #la #createexplore #filmlife #moviebuff #amandaladdjones #movienight #beverlyhillshotel #vintage #oldhollywood #classic #glamour #retro #vinatgestyle #hollywoodglam #behindthescenes #filmmaker #themanwhosavedstarwars
"I called Lucas and told him we wanted very much to do something with him-had he anything in mind?" What Lucas had was a 12-page treatment of Star Wars that had already been rejected by Universal. "How," asks Ladd rhetorically, "do you do a synopsis of this movie for a board of directors?
