18. ROBERT ZEMECKIS
AGE 55
JOB TITLE Director
SMART BECAUSE He
resurrected 3-D. Zemeckis'
decision to exhibit The
Polar Express on IMAX' s
3-D screens made
moviegoing an event
again. His movies haven't
all been hits, but Beowulf killed on 3-D screens, and
his experimentation has
inspired theater owners
to install 3-D-friendly
digital projectors nationwide,
paving the way for
how all movies will eventually
be viewed.
THE BIG PICTURE One of his first
jobs in the early '70s was
working for IMAX.
