Steven Speilberg

Steven Speilberg is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, video game designer, and studio entrepreneur. He is very popular in the Thriller genre for directing the film Jaws. Spielberg has often referred to the gruelling shoot  of Jaws as his professional crucible. Despite the film's ultimate, enormous success, it was nearly shut down due to delays and budget over-runs. But Spielberg persevered and finished the film. It was an enormous hit, that won three Academy Awards (for editing, original score and sound) and making more than $470 million worldwide at the box office. It also set the domestic record for box office gross, leading to what the press described as "Jawsmania." Jaws made him a household name, as well as one of America's youngest multi-millionaires, and allowed Spielberg a great deal of autonomy for his future projects. It was nominated for Best Picture and featured Spielberg's first of three collaborations with actor Richard Dreyfuss.

He is also very famous for directing and producing  Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic park III. Jurassic Park is regarded as a landmark in the use of computer-generated imagery, and received highly positive reviews from most critics.  

Spielberg's most recent Thriller film is Super 8. Although he didn't film it he was the co-producer with J.J Abrams.  He has recently signed on to produce the new Men In Black III.
