Amblin Entertainment was a production company founded by Steven Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy, and Frank Marshall in 1981. It produced many classic films, such as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Gremlins, and the Back to the Future trilogy.
Amblin Entertainment partnered with the BBC in the mid-1990s for early development on a potential reboot of Doctor Who, or a TV movie leading into the same, helmed by Philip Segal and John Leekley. Although a test CGI sequence of a "new-look" Dalek was broadcast on television as part of a preview of future Amblin projects, Leekley's reboot eventually fell through and Segal's Doctor Who TV movie project morphed into the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie which introduced Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor, and Amblin's involvement fell through.
