From Dark Horizons, "Steven Spielberg is taking an active role in the development of two television projects set up at Fox reports Variety.
Ed Burns and Christy Turlington are attached to write a drama set in the fashion world. Spielberg came up with the concept for the untitled Burns project after attending New York's fashion week.
Storyline revolves around five twenty-somethings with fashion jobs such as photographer, designer, makeup artist and model. Burns and Turlington will exec produce, and Burns to direct if it goes to pilot.
The other is a time travel actioneer from scribe Scott Gemmill which revolves around two young American physicists in WWII who discover a way to pinch time and travel to the future.
The pair wind up hopping between 2007 and the 1940s in order to aid the war effort - but in the process begin to upset the space-time continuum. The show will alternate between serial and stand-alone episodes."

Hello all, I realize that I have some outstanding reviews to write, however it's going to take me a while to get them out. Work has been crazy busy and it's much easier for me to throw up newsy updates than to punch out reviews (especially the remaining reviews I have for stuff I couldn't stand). I'll continue to post geek news just to keep the Blog interesting.
So it's the Ed Burns/Christy Turlington fashion show you're all amped about, right? Anything Ed Burns is attached to is instant gold in my book.
Except replace the word "gold" with "toxic mud." I hate that guy.
(He was okay in Saving Private Ryan.)
I concur with everything octopunk says here.
Turlington may be reasonably smart; jury's out on this. We shall see (or not).
The thing I most envy about Spielberg is how he can just have some shit occur to him while he's out doing something cool that he got invited to, and the next thing you know there's going to be a television series. I mean, when was the last time Spielberg had to "pitch" something? 1976? 1978?
I like the idea that he sits in one of the comfy chairs in front of his huge desk, pitches the movie, then runs around to the other side of the desk, sits down, places his hands in front of him with his fingers touching, and nods thoughtfully while he mulls it over, the "ghost" Spielberg sweating in his chair.
Does he take a second to take off the "Amblin" cap and switch it with a "DreamWorks SKG" cap (while rushing around the desk), or does he not bother?
The moment Cruise and Spielberg first shook hands with each other over their earliest, vaguest "War of the Worlds" idea, it was already a Paramount/DreamWorks movie by definition.
I was "outstanding" in the rain
heh heh
"Does he take a second to take off the 'Amblin' cap and switch it with a 'DreamWorks SKG' cap?"
Actually he switches to one of the three DreamWorks caps comissioned for S, K, and G. It's much larger, like Tom Petty's hat in that Alice and Wonderland themed video, and it has scalp massagers and idea recorders attached. Which is good because S wasn't listening to that loser from Amblin anyway.
