Over the past year, we have seen how Apple has already put the machinery in place to begin to get fully into content production. One of the first agreements is found in the reboot of the Amazing Tales series, a mid-eighties production created by Steve Spielberg.
To take over this reboot, Apple had hired Brian Fuller, the producer and screenwriter of series such as Hannibal, Star Trek: Discovery, Heroes among many. But it seems that Brian has announced his departure from the project due to creative differences with the company, since the idea they had in mind collides with the type of content that Apple wants for its platform.
A few months ago we talked about the risk that the idea of focusing solely on producing content for all audiences, where violence, sixth and foul language are conspicuous by their absence. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Brian Fuller had in mind to turn Amazing Tales in a style similar to that of Black Mirror, a type of content that is not directed, not only for all audiences.
Brian Fuller has been involved in the rAmazing Tales eboot since 2015, two years before Apple bought the rights to produce new episodes for its future streaming video platform.
Apple wants all the content it creates, can be reproduced without any problem in your Apple Store, and obviously the idea that Brian Fuller had for Amazing Stories is very far from both the line that Apple wants to follow, and the theme of the original series.
Amazing Tales, was broadcast by NBC during the yearss 1985 and 1987. Throughout the two seasons it was on the air, won 5 Emmy Awards.
One less series, thank you Apple
The Twilight Zone you speak of was a remake of The Twilight Zone aired between 1959 and 1964.
How is Twilight Zone a spin off the amazing tales?
Twilight zone began in 1959 (yes, in black and white) when Spielberg was 13 years old ... what a genius to have been able to produce Amazing Tales at that age.
A little more education and research before trying to inform the reader please ...
