Behind every box office hit is a Hollywood mogul… in The Movies Superstar Edition, that mogul is you.

Starting out at the dawn of cinema, it's up to you to build your studio from an empty lot into a glittering Hollywood empire by producing must-see blockbusters, creating huge stars and giving the movie-going public exactly what they want to see. It's not all award-parties though… you'll need to balance spiralling budgets, fierce competition, and worst of all, actors' egos if you want to make it to the top.

When it's time to start the cameras rolling, settle into the director's chair! The Movies comes packed with tools to help you write and direct your own films. Once you've polished your films to perfection, you can upload them to YouTube and show the world your best shots.

   Fine Simulation!

   by RV, Germany - May 1st 2012

   Lionhead sure knows how to do cool games! The Movies is pretty straight forward. Works well, although - I think it gets a bit tedious after a while.
   
   Either I REALLY want to control EVERYTHING! - and there's no time for that, or I just want to get on to the "future" - but that's not good, unless one has succeeded well... so. It gets a bit to much after a while.
   
   One of those games, though, that I always enjoy playing - even if for a short time.

   Been looking for this everywhere

   by LHope, USA - Mar 1st 2012

   I've been looking for this, especially available as a Mac download. I just got a Mac and didn't realize how hard it was to find downloads! Anyways, I really liked this game when it came out a while back and I've always hoped they will come out with a new version of it. However, I know Lionhead Studios has their website under construction, so I'm not sure what that says about the company.
