Hollywood's Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg was spotted in Malta yesterday with sources saying he was looking at the island's potential as a filming location.

Mr Spielberg, on a whirlwind visit to the island, is without any doubt one of the most influential personalities in the history of film, and one of the wealthiest film-makers in the world.

Among his most memorable films are Jaws, ET, Schindler's List, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, and more recently, Catch Me If You Can.
