Well, union members are only allowed to work on union projects, that's the rule. Spielberg would surely have been fined heavily for breaking union rules. I do, however, believe that there is a way to obtain permission, though, but I think that also costs money, so I'm really not sure what the difference is. But, really, you can't just tell the DGA to... well, what Adam said. Sorry, I only have rudimentary knowledge of the Hollywood unions from school, and we only really covered SAG, not the DGA.

Yeah, ric, I read that little tidbit about a month ago, but it does remind me of my first Star Wars viewing experience, which made me more than a little confused. I was nine when I got the Faces set, and I didn't know the difference between widescreen and fullscreen, what have you. So I popped the tape in, and I watched that cool advertisement that I watch every time I watch the movies ending with telling us that it's the original version... one last time. And then, after the interview, it goes to the, "The following film has been modified from its original version..." and I was really quite confused by that.
