Steven Spielberg wants to direct the series. It was this production that convinced him of that

Steven Spielberg thanks to a great movie Fabelmans seems to be the main favorite for this year’s Oscars in the Best Director category. However, it so happens that the legendary artist is already setting new goals in his rich career. As he revealed in an interview with the Smartless podcast, he would like to shoot a series in the near future.

Let us remind you that for the artist it would not be a debut in the broadly understood world of television; in the early 2000s, he worked as a producer on an award-winning miniseries Band of Brotherslater he acted in a similar role on the screen story Pacific. Interestingly, the series could also be Spielberg’s 2012 film, Lincoln:

I was planning to switch Lincoln into a 6-hour series because I couldn’t raise the money for it initially. No one believed in this idea… I walked around the city, but everyone closed the door on me. (…) I was ready to sign a contract with HBO. The first version of the script Tony Kushner it was 150 pages, so the material was ready. I do not know if Daniel Day-Lewis would have agreed to a 6-hour version, but at the time I had no choice.

The director also revealed that he was finally persuaded to create the series by another HBO production, Mary from Easttown:

I have a great desire to make a long form and one day I will start directing a series. If someone had come to me earlier with an idea for Mary from EasttownI would do it without hesitation. It was such a beautifully crafted story.
