His Prodigious Work Ethic

On the set of Minority Report.
Steven Spielberg works quickly. Very quickly. In 1989 he managed to direct Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade and Always within a twelve month period and in 1993, both Jurassic Park and Schindler's List were added to the director's repertoire. Astonishingly, he did it again in 2002 with Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can - both rolling into cinemas within the same calendar year. Spielberg's long-time producer and friend Kathleen Kennedy told Empire in 2001 that: "He's [Spielberg] remarkable in his ability in knowing how things cut together and to be able to previsualise what he intends. I think it comes from the fact that he started making movies at 12."
