Following in the steps of Jann Wenner and David Pecker, Steven Spielberg is next on the list for a stint in the reality TV realm.
He is set to team up with Mark Burnett for his proposed televised competition titled On the Lot, in which the winner will receive a studio deal and a meeting with the Oscar-winning director.
"All through my career I've done what I can to discover new talent and give them a start," Spielberg said in a statement Thursday. He called the series, scheduled to air next season on Fox, a chance to open "a much wider door."
We know what you're thinking: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon already tried this. They called it Project Greenlight and it sucked. But then again, this is Fox, which seems to have a knack for these reality competitions.
As for the acclaimed director (who hasn't had much luck with his past few flicks) this move completes his final step in the sale of his soul to Rupert Murdoch.
