Answer 2

If you type his name into your search engine you will get thousands of sites to choose from. I don't believe there is an official website but there are fan sites and www.imdb.com has information about him as well.

Don't always trust Wikipedia because anyone can edit information posted there. www.imdb.com would be the most credible source of information.

He is producing Jurassic Park 4 and also The Talisman which is a based on a Stephen King Peter Straub novel.

Answer 3

I know that he is an incredible man. The first time I met Mr. Spielberg, or Steven as he likes to be called, I was doing private security when the JP ride opened at Universal Studios. I was to escort him and his children to a certain area and then maintain his privacy. Steven pulled up driving his own car, carried his own children, always looks you in the eye when he shakes your hand and says please and thank you. That is REALLY rare in Hollywood!!
