Raiders of the Lost Ark turns 45 today - The Truck Chase
Watching Indy make it up as he goes, is exhilarating. A gold standard for action pacing and editing: Michael Kahn cuts it like a heartbeat, rapid and tight in danger, then a wider breath when Indy gets a second to recover

Five years. That's how long I chased this one. A script by Cameron Alexander that I fell in love with the moment I read it — a film that had passed through a lot of hands over the years, none of which quite knew what they were holding or how to treat it. I did. So I kept knocking, and I waited, until it was finally mine to look after.

I grew up around German Shepherds. My mum breeds and trains them, and I've always believed they're the best breed going — full stop. I wanted to make the definitive German Shepherd film, and in Cameron's pages, I saw it.

We redeveloped it together and brought on Andrew Simpson, the best dog trainer in the business — if you've seen the Malinois in John Wick, you've seen his work. Then I handed it to two dear friends, Damien Chazelle and Olivia Hamilton, who saw exactly what I saw: a gritty survival thriller made for the big screen. They took it to Paramount, who fell for it as hard as we had. Before I knew it, Brad Pitt had come aboard, with David Ayer directing — an absolute maestro — and we were shooting in New Zealand.

Here's the part that still gets me. Back in the 90s at Pinewood, I was a runner making Brad his tea and coffee on Interview with the Vampire. To now be one of the producers on what may be one of his very best films… I don't have a word for it other than: pinch me.

HEART OF THE BEAST. In cinemas September 25th.

I am so proud of this one. It's everything I hoped it would be.

And look — everybody loves a dog. It's about the only thing the whole world agrees on. So let me put your mind at ease right now: the dog does not die. You're welcome. 🐾

Tyler Callihan of the @Pirates is the first player in MLB history to have a multi-HR game that included:

- a HR off the reigning MVP (Ohtani)
- a go-ahead 3+ run HR in the 8th or later

He did it on the first 2 homers of his MLB career.

A light show honoring Antoni Gaudí has just lit up Sagrada Família.

It felt like the tallest church in the world, for a moment, let its impossible beauty be seen by its creator.

🚨 The Pirates are “actively pursuing bullpen help” according to people briefed on their discussions per @Ken_Rosenthal

One rival executive also noted that the Bucs are “being more aggressive than most clubs in that search.”

Carolyn Davidson was a graphic design student at Portland State University when Phil Knight, who was then teaching accounting part-time, asked her to create a logo for his fledgling shoe company.

She billed the project at $2 per hour and received a total of $35 for her work. The design she produced would eventually become the iconic Nike swoosh.

Twelve years later, in 1983, Knight invited Davidson to a company event and surprised her with a special gift: a gold ring featuring the swoosh logo set with a diamond, along with an envelope containing 500 shares of Nike stock.

Over time, those shares grew in value and are now worth millions of dollars.
