Imagine you could make any movie you wanted to. Imagine you could pluck
someone from obscurity and make him or her the hottest star in Tinseltown.
Imagine that you had control of an entire movie studio, competing with others to
create a string of box office smashes. Imagine being able to use your judgement
alone, deciding whether success lies with epic action pictures or lots of low
budget, hammy ‘B’ movies.

Will the stars you’ve so lovingly groomed develop monstrous egos - refusing
to accept that they are now too old to play the romantic leads that made them
famous? You can help, but there are only so many times you can send them to fat
farms and plastic surgeons.

Will you watch your movies being shot or do you want to direct the action
yourself? Will you decide to innovate and introduce the talkies, color or
digital sound before any of your rivals? Or will you let the other studios make
the investments, leaving you to jump on the bandwagon if the new technology
becomes popular?

Many of the things you’ve ever read or heard about Hollywood are right here
in The Movies – from stars having affairs and hitting the bottle to teams of
genius filmmakers creating the box office hit of the year.

Movie mogul, talent spotter or film director. You can be one or you can be
all three. That’s the magic of The Movies.
