Well, it's a good thing that Steven Spielberg also has Smash!

The famous director is serving as exeutive producer on the new musical series, as well the midseason replacement ABC horror show The River, but apparently, the ratings for the latter's two-hour series premiere last night were less than stellar!

The series managed to garner around 8.2 million viewers and

The man that gave us Indiana Jones and Darth Vader says his blockbuster career is donezo.

George Lucas, head of the upcoming Red Tails, wants to retire form big budget. The director claims that Red Tails will be his last effects filled super-film.

We remember when we first heard about this show, there were two names attached to it that really stuck out for us: Anjelica Huston and Steven Spielberg. The former because … okay, she's a freakin' LEGEND! Having her attached to any project is just pure gold! And the latter because we couldn't quite understand why Steven Spielberg, of all people, would be interested in a show about musical theater.

But here's the thing. What we failed to remember is that at his core, Steven is about creativity. He's about exploring what the imagination can accomplish. Truly, there is no place on Earth that pushed the limits of dreaming and creating more than the theatre!

So, check out the video (above) and hear Steven explain for himself why Smash is soon to be one in it's own right.

Steven is keeping buuuuuuuuuusy!

During a recent interview, Steven Spielberg opened up about a bunch of his upcoming projects, and it sounds like he's got some fantastic stuff in the works!

Here's Steven on Lincoln and Robopocalypse (of course!):

"I just finished shooting a movie about Abraham Lincoln staring Daniel Day-Lewis which I am so deeply proud of. But because I am right in the middle of the editing of Lincoln, I’m not really going to speak and talk very much about that until the time is right to talk about it."

"And I’m making a science fiction movie probably in September called Robopocalypse based on Daniel Wilson’s book. It’s a cautionary tale about war between human beings and robots. It’s a big crowd pleaser, I think, a big action popcorn movie with a message. The message is actually in the popcorn! You have to get the popcorn, dig down deep in the bottom and there’ll be a message about what Robopocalypse is really about! And I have a couple of other plans which I don’t want to go into because they’re too far out of the horizon. But there’s a lot of work ahead, a lot of television my company is producing for some of the networks and some of the cable outlets. So I’m busy!"

We always thought that Steven Spielberg was against retrofitting his past work with 3D conversions, but we're hearing that he's considering giving Jurassic Park that treatment!

That's right, Jurassic Park 3D!

Luckily, Jurassic is the only one he's interested doing
