SPIELBERG PUT ON HOLD: Steven Spielberg would like the residents of Brentwood, Calif., to know that he really does care.
The gazillionaire director of “Saving Private Ryan,” “Schindler’s List” and “Jaws” has temporarily halted plans to construct a $7 million horse-riding range in the aforementioned city due to heated criticisms from the neighbors of the proposed site, Reuters says.
However, the filmmaker’s spokesman, Marvin Levy, insisted that Spielberg will not scrap the construction plans and would refile his application with the Los Angeles Zoning Administration after fielding the irked residents’ woes.
“There will be another submission,” Levy said. “They are listening to the neighbors, and the only way to really continue that process is to withdraw the application.”
