Looks like Spielberg is making some last minute touches:

Quote:
DreamWorks is a little late with "The Terminal."
Directed by Steven Spielberg (news), the pic stars Tom Hanks (news) as an Eastern European traveler stranded in New York's JFK Airport, because his warring homeland has obliterated itself, leaving Hanks' character with a worthless passport.
The film was originally skedded to preem in Los Angeles Friday.
But on Tuesday, members of the press received a letter from DreamWorks saying the preem had been postponed to Wednesday, June 9. The movie's screening sked and junket have also been delayed.
At this point the pic's release date is still June 18.
Apparently things were held up by the movie's John Williams score -- due to Williams' work on "Harry Potter (news - web sites) 3" -- and by Spielberg, who is intent on tweaking the pic.
Others say that the film's ending was a sticking point, and that reshoots were taking place as late as Tuesday.
DreamWorks would not confirm any explanations, but did say that "The Terminal" has already tested highly with audiences.
Exactitude is synonymous with Spielberg, but so is decisiveness. The helmer is not known as an eleventh-hour fiddler.
Yet unlike DreamWorks' beloved franchise "Shrek," "The Terminal" is something of an unknown entity for the studio. Although the film has two bona fide stars in Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones (news), the pic's genre is said to have been confounding DreamWorks, even as its trailer was being shot: comedy or drama?
Some of us will know next week.
