Though his current employment means he is no longer the J.D. Salinger of the movies, Malick can still lay claim to being their Thomas Pynchon. While allowing journalists to visit the set of The Thin Red Line (and acting the gracious host in an informal, off-the-record chat), he continues to refuse formal interviews, something he hasn't done since a 1974 chat with Women's Wear Daily.

And beyond offering the intense presence of Gumbel, Public Eye will distinguish itself as TV's only live newsmagazine. It will regularly feature real-time interviews; Primetime Live, despite its name, does...
That sort of approach may be greatly appreciated by Spencer or any of the dozens of other wealthy and powerful personalities with whom Gumbel, like any celebrity journalist, is acquainted. But a newsmagazine cannot subsist on a diet of such interviews alone, and the truth is that the competition for guests of every stripe has become awfully fierce...
