Hollywood 101 – del 9 – RKO

Postat den 25 januari, 2019 av Fred

Framgångarna med Warner Bros The Jazz Singer tvingade alla filmbolag att konvertera till ljud. En del bolag med tillgång på ljudteknik, men som ännu inte hade sökt sig till filmbranschen, vädrade morgonluft. Nu blir det alfabetssoppa. RCA Guglielmo Marconi föddes … Läs mer →

Hollywood 101 – del 7 – Warner Bros.

Postat den 16 december, 2018 av Fred

Flera filmbolag var rena familjeföretag. Hos Universal Pictures satt Carl Laemmle, som hade en “large faemmle” som arbetade hos honom. Hos Columbia Pictures satt bröderna Cohn och anställde massor av släktingar. Men ingen filmstudio förknippas mer med ett familjenamn än … Läs mer →

Hollywood 101 – del 2 – Universal Pictures

Postat den 31 juli, 2018 av Fred

Filmindustrin föddes i Fort Lee, New Jersey, under Thomas Edisons patenttrust, men det var en utmanare till Edisons patent som skulle göra Hollywood till filmproduktionens centrum. En ny sorts filmbolag Carl Laemmle Senior föddes 1867 till judiska föräldrar i Laupheim, … Läs mer →
