LOS ANGELES -- DreamWorks SKG, the live-action arm of the entertainment company co-founded by the director Steven Spielberg, is in talks to be acquired by its longtime partner, NBC Universal, according to two people with knowledge of the negotiations.

The news is the latest in a series of twists for DreamWorks, a company co-founded in 1994 by Spielberg, the music mogul David Geffen and the film executive Jeffrey Katzenberg. More than a decade after opening its doors, DreamWorks has not turned out to be the media giant the founders had hoped it would be.
