You say you’re finding it difficult to get the skinny fabulous blonde starlets to sleep with you?
We recommend you leapfrong over the pack and breed well above your station. How? Ask Brett Ratner (the “Rush Hour” series), who judges Fox’s new reality filmmaking competition “On The Lot.”
Here’s how it works. Out of 12,000 aspiring filmmakers who turned in submissions, 50 semi-finalists are flown out to Hollywood. (Or at least the ones that don't already live there are flown out to Hollywood.)
The youngest semi-finalist is Amy, 21, a “freelance director“ living in Los Angeles.
The oldest semi-finalist is Mateen, 41, a teacher living in Los Angeles.
Find the names and ages of all 50 semi-finalists here.
Superstar filmmaker Ratner (“Money Talks,” “Family Man,” “Red Dragon,” “After The Sunset,” “Prison Break”) and his fellow judges (Jon Avnet, Garry Marshall and Carrie Fisher) decide who will become the contestants who make the films. Viewers vote on which films they like best. One of those contestants will become the big-time filmmaker. Hello, sexy young starlets!
Will “Project Greenlight” vets Pete Jones, Erica Beeney, Efram Poetelle, Kyle Rankin, John Gulager, Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton be watching the premiere? Hard to say! I know I will be!
9 p.m. Tuesday. Fox.
