Spielberg And Mark Burnett Producing An "American Idol" For Aspiring Directors...

Fox announced Thursday plans for On The Lot, a new competition reality show from Mark Burnett and Steven Spielberg that will feature aspiring directors and filmmakers vying for a DreamWorks studio development deal.

The show will air over two nights weekly and will be ready for next season, though whether it will air in the fall or later is yet to be determined.

The format will take film-industry wannabes from around the country to Hollywood and split them into teams. Every week, each team will produce a short film from a designated genre, with one of the group members serving as the director.
