Spielberg plans reality-show for filmmakers
DPA
Los Angeles, April 7 (DPA) Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg is now turning to reality television to hunt for new filmmaking talent.
The "Schindler's List" director is teaming up with TV producer Mark Burnett to make the show "On the Lot", entertainment website E!Online reported Thursday.
The show plans to choose competitors after a search across the US, and each week the competing teams will make a short film for presentation to a jury. The filmmaker who survives the weekly eliminations will win a production contract with DreamWorks studio, which Spielberg co-founded.
"All through my career, I have done what I can to discover new talent and give them a start," Spielberg said, adding that the show would allow him and the other producers "to reach out directly to open a much wider door".
The show is scheduled to go on air in 2007 on the US-based Fox television network.
