Hollywood producer/director/executive Stephen Simon’s provocative and entertaining new book illuminates a bold and controversial new plan to save new movies from extinction. Simon also shares the fun of growing up in The Old Hollywood: Frank Sinatra was my “godfather.” My Dad was a successful producer/director and I spent the Sundays of my youth with Dad’s best friends Red Skelton, Milton Berle, Jack Benny, and Lucille Ball. I played touch football with Elvis Presley, and rode horses every Saturday with Ronald Reagan. In my own thirty-five year Hollywood career, I fired Nancy Meyers, who went on to become the most successful woman film director in history and I also said no to Steven Spielberg. A genius, I’m not. I produced a film with Tom Cruise before he was TOM CRUISE, made a classic love story with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, and had more fun producing a film with Madonna than anyone with whom I have ever worked. Madonna gave me lessons in honesty. Yes, really. She did. I believe that the moments that haunt us most are the things we yearned to do but were afraid to attempt. When we try and fail, at least we know. I’ve tried and failed a lot. In 1990, I got divorced, I declared bankruptcy, my home went into foreclosure, and my car was repossessed out of my garage. My family and career were in ruins, and my life looked and felt like a country and western song. When I left Hollywood in 2001, I was broke, demoralized, desperate, and again deeply in debt. I thought that my movie career was over. No, I knew it was over. Wrong again. It was only by leaving Hollywood that my movie career came rushing back into my life, stronger and more exciting than ever. The spirit of The Old Hollywood is engrained in my soul and my book is a passionate declaration that The Old Hollywood is most definitely not gone forever. I invite you then to join me in welcoming back The Old Hollywood as it is reborn. That rebirth can come sooner than we can even imagine. Because we are the ones who can now bring it back. From the book: “Fade In. We’re in a family room in the year 2023. A couple in their early fifties are watching one of their favorite films on Turner Classic Movies as their teenage daughter walks in, sits next to them for a moment, and speaks. “You guys are so cute with your old movies.” “Thanks, sweetheart,” Mom laughs. “Can I ask you something?” the daughter responds. Putting the film on pause, Dad says “Sure. What’s up?” “It must have been so cool for you guys to have lived during a time when they still actually made new movies every year. What was that like?” Fade Out. Or Not. It’s up to us.”

Movies are the most electrifying communications medium ever devised and the natural conduit of inspiring ourselves to look into the eternal issues of who we are and why we are here.
So says film executive Stephen Simon, producer of more than thirty films, including Somewhere in Time and What Dreams May Come. Simon illuminates for the first time, with humor, energy, and passion, this emerging category of Spiritual Cinema; a genre finally being recognized for what it is: a metaphoric pathway to explore such things as the nature of love, the meaning of life and death, the concept of time and space, the visions of our future.
Movies have become our windows to the universe. The sheer imaginative power of the screen has shaped the way humanity views itself, the world, and the cosmos. The increasing technology of cinema has given us the opportunity to see before our eyes images that reflect all that imagination can conjure up--not only to ask the questions plaguing us since humans first contemplated the heavens, but to pose some answers as well.
Through his exploration of more than 70 movies that best represent the genre in all its aspects, Simon gives us his personal interpretation of these films and the extraordinary messages they embody.
Here is a wealth of inspiration, including the inside stories behind the making of many films and the familiar names who participated in their making. This is a book that will break ground for the many visionary storytellers and filmakers to come, and most of all, their audiences.
