LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!

"ON THE LOT" PREMIERE CONTINUES WITH SECOND SPECIAL PREVIEW THURSDAY, MAY 24, ON FOX

Series Executive-Produced by Mark Burnett and Steven Spielberg

The cameras continue to roll and the judges' "final cuts" go even deeper on the new moviemaking competition series ON THE LOT, executive-produced by Mark Burnett and Steven Spielberg. Fifty aspiring filmmakers from around the globe are discovering the magic of moviemaking as they endure a rigorous "Hollywood Boot Camp" in Los Angeles, where they will have their first attempt at a Hollywood-style "pitch" meeting; a "24-Hour Film Shoot," where each must shoot and edit a short film in a 24-hour period; as well as a "one-page, one-hour" film shoot, where they will have an hour to film a one-page scene with the help of professional directors of photography, camera and sound operators and actors. The 18 who make the cut will advance in the competition in the hope of landing a $1-million DreamWorks development deal. Actress, author and screenwriter Carrie Fisher ("Star Wars," "Postcards From the Edge"), along with directors/producers Brett Ratner ("Rush Hour 3," "X-Men 3: The Last Stand"), Garry Marshall ("Georgia Rule," "Princess Diaries," "Pretty Woman") and Jon Avnet ("The Starter Wife," "Fried Green Tomatoes," "Risky Business"), are serving as judges for the series' audition episodes. The "Auditions #2" episode of ON THE LOT airs Thursday, May 24 (9:25-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (OTL-101B) (TV-PG)

Judges: Carrie Fisher; Brett Ratner; Garry Marshall; Jon Avnet
