DreamWorks Studios, the film company co-founded by Steven Spielberg, will split from Walt Disney Co. after the release of his film, "The BFG," according to the Hollywood Reporter. The director's likely future home is Universal and is in talks with the company, according to the report on Wednesday (September 02). Spielberg's take on "The BFG," based on British author Roald Dahl's 1982 book, is scheduled for release on July 1, 2016. His next film, "Bridge of Spies," is a cold war-ear spy thriller starring Tom Hanks and is set for release in October. Disney Studios signed a long-term, exclusive film distribution agreement with DreamWorks Studios principals Steven Spielberg and Stacey Snider in 2009. "The studio would welcome the chance to be DreamWorks' distribution partner" but any deal is premature, a Universal source was quoted as saying by the Hollywood Reporter.
