	Mankiewicz, Griffin Named to TOC Board \| bloodhorse.com
		Entertainment industry figures Tom Mankiewicz and Merv Griffin have been appointed to the board of the Thoroughbred Owners of California to fill two unexpired terms.
		Mankiewicz has had a multi-faceted and successful career as a screenwriter, producer, and director.
		A former member of the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Mankiewicz currently serves as a director of the William Holden Wildlife Foundation and chairman of the board of trustees of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association.

	Joseph L. Mankiewicz
		Before he was 20, the younger Mankiewicz was the assistant Berlin correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and an English translator for the subtitles of German-made films.
		Mankiewicz's first assignment at Paramount was composing subtitles for the silent versions of the studio's sound pictures.
		The recipient of dozens of industry awards, Mankiewicz spent his last decade in semi-retirement, regaling TV talk show and college-lecture audiences with his erudite (and admittedly self-aggrandizing) anecdotes of the Hollywood of old.

	IGN: The Stax Report Special Edition: Script Review of The Batman
		Tom Mankiewicz essentially borrowed the main ideas of their Detective Comics story arc for his screen plot, with the notable exclusion of villain Hugo Strange.
		Mankiewicz's draft is nowhere near as dumb or campy as Akiva Goldsman's screenplays but there were a few sequences here that were far too "comic book-y" for their own good.
		Mankiewicz, on the other hand, included an absurdly protracted origin sequence (all of Act One!) where we follow the murder of Bruce's parents, their burial, and, finally, Bruce's years of training in science, martial arts, gymnastics, and finance (to explain how he was able to turn his trust fund into a mega-fortune).

	Cleopatra: Five Star Collection (1963)
		Not only did writer/director Joe Mankiewicz almost literally make things up as he went along, but also his ultimate vision of the completed film was crippled by the studio.
		We hear from actor Martin Landau, Tom and Chris Mankiewicz (sons of the director, both of whom also worked as second unit directors on the film), and publicist Jack Brodsky.
		In addition, we hear from film historians, a few other tangential participants, and relatives like Mankiewicz’s wife and sons Chris and Tom - the latter of whom went on to write Bond films Live and Let Die and Diamonds Are Forever - plus the son of Rex Harrison and the daughter of producer Walter Wanger.

	The First Church of Dan Aykroyd
		Tom Mankiewicz, whose screenwriting credits include the James Bond thrillers "Live and Let Die," and "Diamonds are Forever" along with "Superman," "Superman II" and the epic "Ladyhawke," makes his feature film directional debut from a screenplay by Dan Aykroyd, Alan Zwiebel and Tom Mankiewicz.
		Zwiebel, Mankiewicz and I are using Jack Webb's writing style and the deliberate pacing of that show.
		For me, the utter joy in the process of making this picture has been that whenever Dan is in front of the camera--which is most of the time--and whenver I'm directing--which is every day--we have two of the three writers on the set.

	Amazon.ca: Dragnet (Widescreen): DVD: Tom Mankiewicz,Dan Aykroyd,Tom Hanks,Christopher Plummer,Harry Morgan,Alexandra ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This part was made for him (in fact, he's given top writing credit), and under his steely exterior you can tell he's having a ball delivering those rapid-fire recitations of regulations and deadpan expressions of moral outrage.
		Tom Hanks plays Pep Streebek, the laissez-faire narco agent who is Friday's new partner.
		Tom Mankiewicz' amiable parody of the long-running and immensely successful Dragnet series has achieved something in being nearly as funny as the original.

	ITS ALL ABOUT TOM CRUISE
		She wrote a letter to Tom saying the church is protecting him from the fact that she "outed" Tom as a Scientologist and that the church broke up her relationship with her children.
		In October 2005, it was reported that Tom Cruise's popularity dropped significantly after his publicity tour for the release of War of the Worlds and his engagement to actress Katie Holmes.
		As an example, on July 13th, 2005, the city council of Paris vowed "never to receive [before the council or the mayor] the actor Tom Cruise, spokesman for Scientology and self-declared militant for this organisation" [40] after his lobbying of Sarkozy and Jean-Claude Gaudin, the mayor of Marseille, was mentioned.

	Tom Hanks: Dragnet - Movie
		Pep Streeback (Tom Hanks) is his new partner.
		I gotta admit, however, that Dan Aykroyd's unbelievably button-down, anal-retentive, and ludicrously straight-arrow portrayal of the nephew of Joe Friday was a pretty good shot at Jack Webb's most notable small screen character.
		Another neat thing about this movie is that it introduced me to a little acronym I like to spring on folks from time to time: the cultish PAGAN, or People Against Goodness And Normalcy, the minions of which act as the movie's main heavies.

	Dragnet - Synopsis - Moviefone
		Screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz's directorial debut (also written by Mankiewicz, along with Aykroyd, and Alan Zweibel) is a gentle spoof of the legendary '50s television police drama -- pitting '50s conservatism smack up against the attitudes of the '80s.
		But with his brown suit, fedora, and lockjaw, he could just as well be the incarnation of Jack Webb.
		He is involuntarily assigned a smart alecky, street-wise partner, Pep Streebeck (Tom Hanks), and they are charged to investigate a series of religious cult murders in L.A. The two cops follow the trail to a phony televangelist, the Reverend Jonathan Whirley (Christopher Plummer).

	'The Batman' Screenplay by Tom Mankiewicz - The Superhero Hype! Boards
		Please be warned- this is for ToM Locust, but I think could be of general interest.
		Tom Mankiewicz was the first writer to have a crack at a serious big screen Batman back in the early eighties.
		I haven't read that script by Mankiewicz, but from what I've heard (there was a pretty extensive script review of it at IGN), I didn't like it.

		Much of that screenplay was done by 1970’s James Bond screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz.
		Editor Michael Thau collected over six tons of lost Superman II footage and along with the help of Donner and Mankiewicz have a made a film which has surpassed the original theatrical release and would have made Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster proud.
		One of my favorite parts is when Tom Hanks is with Emil Muzz and he says, “Well Emil, it looks like it's just you, me, your balls and this drawer.

		Mother, Jugs and Speed involves the escapades of a bunch of Los Angeles ambulance drivers who hustle catastrophe for $42.50 plus 500-a-mile.
		Tom Mankiewicz's screenplay owes more than it ought to MASH, but it has found a way to get into the underbelly of a city, to survey the twilight territory where tragedy and comedy trip over each other and make an unsightly mess.
		What might have been a pitch-fl comedy is a movie loaded down with cheapjack melodrama and sleazy yocks.

		The line between parody and tribute can be hard to draw, but any marginally hip baby boomer who ever watched Jack Webb's straight-laced Detective Joe Friday caught a glimmer of the comedic vein waiting to be mined beneath Dragnet's gritty Los Angeles streets.
