The filmmaker started in TV, so would he go back?
Steven Spielberg began his career working in TV, directing an awesome episode of Columbo, and spent his early 20s directing episodes of The Night Gallery and Marcus Welby, M.D as well. But since then, he’s become one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. To me, he is the greatest filmmaker of all time, but that is a debate for later.
But on the recent episode of the SmartLess podcast with Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes, Spielberg joined them to discuss filmmaking, his career, and whether or not he would go back to television someday.
When confronted with the question, Spielberg said, “I do have an appetite for long-form, and, someday, I will direct a long-form series,” Spielberg said. “I mean, if someone would have brought me Mare of Easttown, I would have done that. That was a beautifully directed story.”
