Mark Burnett & Steven Speilberg’s Reality Show “On the Lot” Announces Its Premiere
The new reality show, On The Lot, will premiere one week later than originally planned. According to Fox, everyone involved with the show are very happy with the response to their requests for entries and are excited for the show to begin to air.
“Steven and I are enormously thrilled with the response we’ve had to the call for film submissions via our Web site thelot.com,” Burnett says. “This confirms our notion that there is an incredible amount of talented filmmakers in the world looking for their big breaks. We are very excited that our partners at FOX have scheduled the launch of this series with the powerhouse `American Idol’ finale and the premiere of `So You Think You Can Dance.’ Coming off of the success of `Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?’, launching out of `American Idol’ is a terrific move.”
“On the Lot” will have a two-hour “Film Premiere” episode May 28, introducing the 16 finalists and their first films. The next night, in an hour-long “Box Office” results show, beginning at 8 p.m., four finalists will be eliminated. Monday, June 4 will make the first regularly scheduled 9 p.m. “Film Premiere” episode with the first half-hour results show the next evening.
Fox claims to have received 12,000 video submissions from aspiring filmmakers. The show’s eventual winner receives a $1 million DreamWorks development deal.
