Steven Spielberg Reality Show

Ya I heard about it a while ago, apparently Spielberg is teaming up with the producer from survivor to bring a cross of project green light and the apprentice. Last I had heard about it was that it was only in the works and nothing was official.
 
I WILL BE AT THE CASTING LOL

Speaking of Project Greenlight, what ever happend to John Gulager (spelling?) and Feast? They kept saying how this is finally the PGL movie to not bomb and I haven't even seen a release date! Oh well, I have a feeling that was the last season of that show. Not a big fan of reality, but I'll watch Speilberg's show just for the sake of it anyway.
 
This combines one of my big loves with one of my big hatreds.... I'm conflicted. I didn't like the competition episodes of Greenlight. I like watching the process but if all this is watching the competitors then....uh...BOOOO. I'll still watch of course. But it will be ironically. I'm SOOOOO film school.
 
I think it is a sell out on spielbergs part. I am very disapointed in that. I read an article on this about a month ago on IMDB. But at the same time I want to sign up or audition because as any filmmaker does, I look for any oprotunity to "get in".
 
Spielberg is a very talented entertainer. I think saying he's been selling out since Jaws is saying that he's been telling the stories he was born to tell and wants to tell because of money. That's just not true. Schindler's List is by far his best (in my opinion), and I sincerely doubt he was more interesting in profiting off the Holocaust than in trying to tell a great story.

But he can't end his films worth ****.

My apologies. I said that wrong. He sold out STARTING with Jaws.

Too bad that "great story" couldnt actually make people stop, think, and act the way he wanted them to.
 
theres nothing wrong with selling out, and its not as if speilberg sold out, his fans sold him out. jaws is still a good movie and if it or any of his movies didnt do good at the box office you wouldnt say he sold out. its just his movies become so popular so people like hill automatically thinks it sucks and that he sold out. when really he did nothing wrong except make a good movie
 
He didnt sell out just because he made some of the greatest hollywood blockbusters, I am sure those were the movies he WANTED to make

JAWS, INDIANA JONES, etc
 
Argue all you want about Spielberg's ability to end a story or even his choice of valid material. But he is a master craftsman who is only improving technically with age. I would consider selling out to be someone who has been phoning it in for years. All plot problems aside, War of the Worlds is a masterpiece of technical craftsmanship.

Um, I'm the guy who calls "Chasing Amy" the best film of the 90's. You know, the guy who "kind of created a Special Olympics for film." I'm not exactly against popularity, just those who are unjustified in having it.
 
To me Steven Speilberg has never delivered anything crash hot. Bar, Schindler's List and Jurassic Park. Woo! JP! Pity about the sequels...
