Spielberg locked in distribution battle...

A producer of the Irish comedy An Everlasting Piece is accusing Steven Spielberg of trying to kill the film to win favour with the UK Government. Spielberg is to receive an honorary knighthood at the end of this month for his services to the British film industry. But the Belfast producer Jerome O'Connor alleges he and his film-distributing DreamWorks studio trimmed its promotional budgets because it deals with Britain's role in Northern Ireland in the 1980s.

"It's so obvious they're trying to bury the movie,'' O'Connor tells the New York Post. "They're doing everything possible to make sure it doesn't work.''

Three weeks before it was meant to open, Spielberg partner Jeffrey Katzenberg told the director Barry Levinston to cut the politics.

Katzenberg carries considerable clout in Hollywood. He said the film's release pattern was slashed at the last moment from 750 cinemas across the United States to just eight.

DreamWorks publicity spokeswoman, Diana Loomis, said: "No one at DreamWorks has heard from Mr O'Connor on this or any other issue. "Everyone involved with this movie has been aware from the start that it was always on a limited-release pattern.''
