Steven Spielberg, the iconic Hollywood director makes movies where superstars do not dominate. To him, screenplay is the star.All of us are in the service of the story and telling it in a dynamic and colourful way. He has never written a story to fit an actor. The screenplay is more important than anybody, even the actor, however big he may be.

If the American movie industry can be separated into two stages, the period from 1920 to about 1960 would be called the era of actor superstars like Clark Gable, Charlton Heston, Gregory Peck, Cary Grant and the one from 1970 onward would be dubbed  the era of director superstars who elevated screenplay to a special status.
