Steven Spielberg's 7-Word Response to When He'll Retire From Hollywood
It's hard to imagine a world in which Steven Spielberg isn't making movies—so much so that even the three-time Oscar winner doesn't want to envision it. The Jaws creator was on hand Thursday night for the dedication of a new, state-of-the-art theater just steps from Universal Studios, according to The Hollywood Reporter.'It's not just a place that is founded on his extraordinary legacy but it is a place of future hopes and dreams of filmmakers, of storytellers who are you going to take this company into the next 100 years, and the 100 after that,' enthused NBCUniversal Entertainment chairman Donna Langley, who has shared a very rare 50 years of making movies with Spielberg. When it was finally Spielberg's turn to speak, it was clear just how emotional—and touching—a moment it was for the beloved filmmaker. He spoke about witnessing the changing fortunes of the studio first-hand, and how thrilling it was to see the company become what it is today, which he described as 'The rebirth of the belief in the people that work as a family, as a community, as a team to make good thing happen. Spielberg, 78, concluded his remarks by answering the one question on everyone's mind that was never asked of him: When does he plan to retire? 'I'm making a lot of movies,' Spielberg said, 'and I have no plans ever to retire.' The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Spielberg separately from his speech, and asked about what films were still on his bucket list. He shared that he has 'an appetite for a Western which I will someday hopefully do… It's something that's eluded me for all of these decades.' Steven Spielberg's 7-Word Response to When He'll Retire From Hollywood first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 27, 2025

Why was Suits LA cancelled after one season? Here's what the makers said
There were a lot of expectations that were riding on the spin-off of Suits, Suits LA, but it seems like the show has not been able to garner a good response. NBC also pulled a plug on the show after one season. In an interview with Variety, the makers have opened up about the reasons for not going ahead for a second season. (Also read: Suits LA First Reactions: Fans irritated as spin-off falls flat; say it 'feels like a TikTok parody of the original') Jeff Bader, who is the president, program planning strategy, of NBC Universal Entertainment, told Variety, 'It's so hard to talk about shows and which ones you bring back, and Suits had a very short run, but it really just has not resonated the way we thought it would. There can be many, many reasons why, people are speculating why it hasn't resonated, but it's just not really showing the potential to grow for us in the future, unfortunately." He went on to add, 'And it's those decisions we had to make. We had to look at the performance of the shows, both on linear and on digital. We had to see the ones that looked like they had growth potential in the future. So we're looking at how stable they are on their linear performance, how stable they are on digital, which ones are growing and which ones are declining. And we had to make some hard decisions.' Suits LA was an American legal drama television series created by Aaron Korsh for NBC. It is the second spin-off of Suits, starring Stephen Amell as Ted Black, Josh McDermitt as Stuart Lane, Lex Scott Davis as Erica Rollins, and Bryan Greenberg as Rick Dodsen. There was a lot of hype surrounding the return of Gabriel Macht, who reprised his role as Harvey Specter. However, the show did not receive favourable reviews upon release.
