  Film producer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The producer is involved throughout all phases of the filmmaking process from inception to completion of a project.
Changes in movie distribution and marketing in the 1970s and 80s gave rise to the modern-day phenomenon of the Hollywood blockbuster, which tended to bring power back into the hands of the producer.
Producer: the classic producer who typically has the greatest involvement and oversight among a film's various producers.

 FilmMakers Magazine: The Film Producer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Producing on the other hand is a different story, and adding titles such as associate, executive and supervising just make it even more confusing.
Because producers are essentially supervisors at whatever level they produce, there is no union or guild that governs the jurisdiction of producing like what is seen in other professions such as writing, directing or acting.
For those that actively produce, this can mean any number of activities including but not limited to: hiring the writer to write the original screenplay, selling the script to a studio, signing the major actors, doing the budget, hiring the crew, and making sure the set gets made on time.

 Jerry's Kids - Why the macho-movie producer abandoned Top Gun for kiddie pictures. By Matt Feeney
I mean that a surprising number of these movies feel—especially now, in contrast to the Bruckheimer movies that have followed—strangely accomplished, even if many are also openly cynical in their manipulation of a small number of movie formulas.
But the success of these movies depended on a peculiar kind of genre deconstruction that was also, ultimately, self-defeating.
These action movies are typically too eager to rush out their big-budget effects, and so they undercut the anticipation that marks the smartest thrillers, but they compensate with adroit pacing, an impressive grasp of the demands of filming action, and, especially in Bruckheimer's loudest movies, a generous helping of humor and irony.

 A Movie Producer Remembers the Human Side of Malcolm X
Worth, the producer of the movie, said this morning that the box-office grosses for the film's first few days had left him stunned.
Worth is one of the more colorful producers in town, an intense bespectacled 67-year-old with shoulder-length gray hair, a nervous New York patter and a fondness for expensive, super-trendy clothes by the designer Gianni Versace.
Although Worth is enormously proud of the film, the producer says he wishes that the lighter side of Malcolm X's personality could have emerged.

 The religion of Stephen Simon, movie producer
He made movies with Abbot and Costello and Red Skelton, so there was always a lot of joy around our house on Sunset Boulevard in West Los Angeles, until the laughter abruptly ended with my Dad's suddent death from a cerebral hemorrhaage at the age of thirty-nine in 1949.
When I first saw these movies I wondered whether their extraordinary messages were being sent consciously and deliberately, or arrived on the doorstep of my mind as mwere after-products of the movie-making process--unintended outcomes of what were simply commercial ventures.
Movies, television shows, internet downloads, direct-to-consumer products--all will be available to translate the wealth of literature that already eistst and that will be written by the thousands of volumes as the new millennium unfolds.

 Moviecrazed: THE PHANTOM INDIE MOVIE PRODUCER STRIKES AGAIN!
The trend of paying less than the movie cost to make comes at a time when the key distributors of independently produced movies are in fact divisions of the major studios: Miramax is owned by Disney, Fine Line is part of Time Warner/AOL, Good Machine has been absorbed into Universal, and so on and on.
And, of course, Miramax has started producing larger budget pictures such as "Serendipity" and "The Four Feathers"--movies which are indistinguishable from routine studio fare.
While some small movies have benefited from expensive pre-release marketing, the broader result has been the closing of theatrical markets to movies that don't have $5-million budgets for splashy launches.
