Homework (Wild Wild West Credits)

So i got the wrong idea here and put something about EVERYONE mentioned in the titles, not just production etc.

The first name that appears, is Warner Bros. This is currently the world's largest film and television producer. This is obviously the company that has made the film and has done hundreds of others, including The Exorcist, The Life of Brian, Blade Runner, Space Jam, The Matrix films, The Harry Potter films, and quite a few of the Batman films. As you can probably tell, Warner Bros mainly deal with big blockbuster films, rather than small independant films as they don't make as much money.

The next names to appear are "A Peters Entertainment/ Sonnenfeld Josephson Production" A quik IMDB search brings up a small page about these two companies. The don't appear to have done very much at all. Peters Entertainment appears to have made 8 films, while Sonnenfeld Josephson only appears to have made 6.

In Association with Todman Simon LeMasters Productions. This guy appears to have only done Wild Wild West.

A Barry Sonnenfeld Film. I assume this guy is part of the "Sonnenfeld Josephson Production", though i can't be sure. IMDB says he has produed and directedmany films, including Big, Men in Black and Kingdom.

Next the name Will Smith comes up. You don't even need to search this name to know who he is. Newsweek named him one of the most powerful and influencial actors on the planet, conquering not only film but TV and music, too. He is the only actor to have 8 consecutive films gross over $100 million in the domestic box office and is currently th only actor to have had 8 consecutive films opening at #1 in the domestic box office as a lead actor.

Kevin Kline is next on the list. Kevin has been in many films, none as massive as Smith, but he has starred in films such as A Fish Called Wanda, Orange County and The Tale of Desperaux.

Kenneth Branagh is most well known for his film adaptions of Willim Shakespeare's work, apparently. He has also been in many films, but again none that were as big as even Kline's films. These include Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing and Hamlet. However he also starred in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which is a fa bigger film than anything else i know of him doing.

Salma Hayek has starred in films such as Dogma, 54 and Spy Kids 3D: Game Over.

Ted Levine is noted for his parts in such films as The Hills Have Eyes, The Silence of the Lambs and American Ganster.

M. Emmet Wlash has appeare in over 100 films, although not many of them as notable as other. These include Twilight (1998), Snow Dogs and Racing Stripes.

Bai Ling has starred in many films including Star Wars III, Lords of Dogtown and The Hustle.

Rodney A. Grant has been in such films as The Killing Ground, Safe Harbour and Don;t Come Knocking.

Garcelle Beauvier has been in very few films, including Manhunter, Coming to America and I Know Who Killed Me.

Museta Vander has been in several films including Oblivion 2:Blacklash, Motal Kombat: Annihilation and Oder of Redemption.

Sofia Eng has apparenly only beenin Wild Wild West and Ivansxtc.

Frederique van der Wal is best known for he appearances in celbrity, the million dollar hotel and celebrity mole: hawaii.

The casting was done by David Rubin, who was also the casting director for Men in Black, City of Ember and Yes Man.

Ronna Kress was also doing casting, and has previously casted for films including The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Rush Hour 3 and National Treasure: Book of Secrets.

The film was co-produced by Graham Place and Doug Lodato. Graham, who produced Hostage, The Addams Family and Men in Black, and Doug who only produce Wild Wild West and Pharaos Army.

Eric Brevig did the special effects for the movie has alo worked on Men in Black, The Day After Tomorrow and The Village.

I then says the song that plays over the end credits "Wild Wild West" by Will Smith. This just enforces the idea that Will Smith is the main focus of the film, as they have allowed him to do the song to play over the credits. (It's also an awesome song)

The Music was compose byElmer Bernstein, who also composed much of the music for such films as Airplane!, An American Werewolf in London and To Kill a Mockingbird.

The costume designer was Deborah Lynn Scott, who has worked on many films including Titanic, Bad Boys II and Get Smart.

The film was edited by Jim Millerwho has done films such as Men in Black, The Addams Family and Agent Cody Banks.

The production designer was Bo Welch, who has wored on films including Men in Black, Ghostbusters II and Space Chimps.

Michael Ballhaus was the director of photography for the film, and has worked on other films such as Goodfellas, Air Force One and The Departed.

The executive producers were Bill Todman Jr, who has worked on X-Men, Ace Ventura and Strange Wilderness. Joel Simon who has worked on X-Men, the Condemned and Looney Toons: Back in Action. Kim LeMasters who worked on Threshold, The Magicians and Jfets-D. Tracey Glaser who appears to have only worked on Wild Wild West, and Barry Josephson who worked on Like Mike, Hide and Seek and Bones.

The Story was by Jim Thomas who Wrote Predator, Predator 2 and Alien Vs Predator. It was also written by John Thomas who has written Predator, Predator 2 and Behind Enemy Lines.

The screenplay was by S.S Wilson, who worked on Tremors, Batteries not Included and M.A.S.K. It was also done by Brent Maddock, who worked on basically the same films apart from M.A.S.K.

The film was produced by Jon Peters, who worked on Ali, Batman and Superman Returns. It was also produced by Barry Sonnenfeld who worked on Men in Black 1 & 2 and Space Chimps.

Barry Sonenfeld also Directed the film.

What i though was amazing after researching the people credited in this sequence, was how man of them have gone on to work on Smith's other films, or had worked on his films previously. This may be a coincidence, but perhaps it simply means that if you do well in one film, you may get asked to help other people out with their future films.
