Not worth it to delude ourselves any longer, the tv series supersedes the cinema for a few years, either on a qualitative or on that of the risk-taking. And obviously, this is not about to change.

After that, it is a bit normal that this happens. The cinema takes less risks and thinks its franchises as a series pétées money, not making more than movies in a format that is episodic, with big climax at the end and sequences bonus that show us what will happen in the next episode.

Conversely, the tv, with HBO, AMC or Netflix, allows more and more things, and it is not a coincidence that a lot of filmmakers fled there to set up their personal projects. So when Steven Spielberg announced his next project tele, obviously listening. The Los Angeles Times has just unveiled that the company of the producer, Amblin, was working on a concept for a series of fantasy without say more.

If it is not that it will be co-produced by Platinum Dunes, the box of Michael Bay, who was already an accomplice to Spielberg at the time of the first Transformers. The site also informs us that Amblin had not less than “ $ 50 million to invest in three projects houses tv series. One of it would be based on an original idea by Steven Spielberg, in the genre of fantasy, it would produce with the company, Platinum Dunes, Michael Bay.”

A big ambition, therefore, is that the price logic of a certain artistic freedom, as well as Spielberg said in the same article :

“To be a producer, to rent to its limits on the creative plan and the financial plan. By funding our own series, we have the opportunity to grow in this sector, while remaining the masters of our creations to achieve our goals.”

We wish them good luck, knowing that the other two series in the gestating reboot offantastic Stories as well as a remake of the Rashômon by Akira Kurosawa. A whole program.
