  After 60 years, Dino De Laurentiis retains his zeal for making movies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
De Laurentiis has been involved in producing such diverse movies as "Bitter Rice," "War and Peace," "Nights of Cabiria," "The Bible," "Waterloo," "Serpico," "Three Days of the Condor," "Ragtime" and "Conan the Barbarian." As executive producer or producer, he's had at least 60 movies under his belt, high-brow and low-brow, huge moneymakers and expensive flops.
De Laurentiis played a major role as producer in the postwar Italian films that stunned the world.
De Laurentiis built a huge new studio on the outskirts of Rome, called it Dinocitta (Dino city), and began producing spectacles with Hollywood stars: "War and Peace" (Henry Fonda, Audrey Hepburn), "Barrabas" (Anthony Quinn), "The Bible" (George C. Scott, Ava Gardner), "Anzio" (Robert Mitchum), "Waterloo" (Rod Steiger).

 Dino De Laurentiis
Dino De Laurentiis left home at 17, determined to be a director.
His reputation as "Dino De Horrendous" was not enhanced by such subsequent turkeys as The White Buffalo, Orca, The Hurricane, Flash Gordon, and an unnecessary sequel, King Kong Lives.
But De Laurentiis deserves more respect than he gets, because between the schlock he also delivered some simply outstanding movies -- the police drama Serpico, the spy story Three Days of the Condor, Ragtime, Cronenberg and King's The Dead Zone, and David Lynch's flawed adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune.

 Dino De Laurentiis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agostino De Laurentiis, usually credited as Dino De Laurentiis, (born August 8, 1919) is an Italian movie producer born at Torre Annunziata in the province of Naples.
In the 1970s, De Laurentiis relocated to the USA where he set up studios, eventually creating his own studio DEG based in Wilmington, North Carolina; the building of the studio quickly made Wilmington one of the busiest centers of American film and television production.
In the 1980's, De Laurentiis, largely on the basis of a series of flops, gained a reputation as a crass and vulgar producer.

For Showtime in 1995, De Laurentiis returned to the biblically-inspired films of the 60s and oversaw a remake of "Solomon and Sheba" as well as the tale of Joseph and his relationship with Potiphar's wife (misleadingly titled "Slave of Dreams").
De Laurentiis' production company had long held the rights to Thomas Harris' novels and was behind the Michael Mann-helmed "Manhunter" (1986), but when it came time to film "The Silence of the Lambs" in 1990, the company passed, only to see the film become a phenomenon and multiple Oscar winner.
Despite the critical drubbing the original novel took and the defection of star Jodie Foster and director Jonathan Demme, De Laurentiis was determined to bring the long-awaited sequel "Hannibal" to the screen.

De Laurentiis has been a popular media figure with his flamboyant personality and high profile; very much a mogul in the tradition of Samuel Goldwyn, he maintains a strong degree of production value with talented directors, actors, writers, and technicians.
De Laurentiis attended the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome at the age of 16, then gained practical filmmaking experience in the Italian film industry as an actor, prop man, assistant director, and unit manager.
De Laurentiis has seemingly beat the system by surviving as an independent producer for 50 years, capping his career with a thriving distribution company.

 European Film Review -> Dino De Laurentiis biog
Dino was a key figure in post-war Italian cinema, and I'm surprised that this has slipped under the net...
He expressed his contempt for current national film production, how deeply it sucks, and supplied the advice that Italian filmmaking has to be true to local and personal experience at root before even considering taking on the Americans at their own escapist fantasy spectacular game, the results otherwise being hollow imitation at best.
This biography makes a strong case that the story of modern Italian cinema is Dino's own, both as business participant and much deeper facilitator of the kind of moviemaking we, and he, like best.

I saw the DDL King Kong at the cinema in 1976, and actually think it holds up pretty well over time.
It did a much better job setting up how (and why) the natives captured the hot chick off the boat than the current film, which spends about 60 seconds on what is probably the most important plot development of the whole movie.
