The somewhat tortured trail of DreamWorks Studios has taken yet another, perhaps happier, turn. DreamWorks split from its alliance with Paramount, then separated from its animation division which was spun off as a separate company. Now the company headed by Steven Spielberg and his partners have finalized a $800 million+ financing deal with an Indian investment firm. Production is expected to begin shortly on a slate of films, including a remake of James Stewart's classic comedy Harvey.Spielberg also wants to bring the life story of Martin Luther King Jr
to the big screen, but the project has been hampered by the usual
in-fighting over money within the King family. Disney will distribute
the new slate of films worldwide, except for within India. For more click here
