Steven Spielberg shoots his first music video using an iPhone

If you're wondering if you can use your iPhone to shoot a music video, Steven Spielberg is showing you how. He directed his first music video for Mumford and Sons' Marcus Mumford and his new single Cannibal. They shot it in a school gymnasium in New York. 

Spielberg worked with his wife Kate Capshaw as the producer, art director, and dolly grip. Some behind-the-scenes footage shared by Mumford shows Spielberg being pulled along by Capshaw in a wheeled chair to achieve some of the shots. If you've been waiting for the signal to make your own music video/film, here's your sign to know it's possible to do it with your phone. (We don't know what iPhone model Spielberg used, though.)

Steven Spielberg’s ‘Ready Player One’ gets lead actor

Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One gets it lead star in Tye Sheridan. Sheridan has been a bit low-key in terms of roles but we’re sure you’ll get to see more of him soon as he’s set to play the young Cyclops in X-Men: Apocalypse. For this adaptation he’ll be playing Wade a.k.a. Parzival. He joins Olivia Cooke as Art3mis and Ben Mendelsohn as Nolan Sorrento.

Ready Player One is set in the near future where everyone is connected to a virtual reality called the OASIS. When its creator dies, there comes up a Willy Wonka-esque quest for control of the company. Parzival and Art3mis are among a number of people who dedicate their lives to trying to become the owners of OASIS. The movie is scheduled to be released on March 30, 2018.
