Apple is eroticism in romantic eratapping Steven Spielberg in its first big push into original television.
The acclaimed director is set to reprise his 1980s sci-fi anthology series Amazing Stories in a 10-episode deal between the tech giant and NBCUniversal.

Apple has had its eye on a big splash in the market for months now with a reported $1-billion war chest set aside for original programming.
The Wall Street Journalreports that each episode will have a budget of around $5 million--a typical number for a TV drama--and Spielberg will likely serve as executive producer. Hannibal's Bryan Fuller is being tapped as show-runner.
"We love being at the forefront of Apple's investment in scripted programming, and can't think of a better property than Spielberg's beloved 'Amazing Stories' franchise with the genius of Bryan Fuller at the helm and more exciting creative partnerships to come," NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said in a statement.
The Emmy-award-winningAmazing Storiesoriginally aired on NBC between 1987 and 1989 to mixed reviews and lackluster ratings, despite a stable a big-name directors like Robert Zemeckis, Martin Scorsese, and Spielberg himself.
But Apple seems to be betting that the show's Twilight Zone-esque mix of science fiction and horror might prove more potent at a time when Netflix's Black Mirror has helped spur a revival in the anthology format. Other streaming giants are also trying their hand at the sci-fi story-per-episode genre--Amazon with Phillip K. Dick's Electric Dreamsand HBO with Room 104.
The news comes days after one of Apple's other big original programming projects--an Elvis Presley biopic series produced by Harvey Weinstein--was reportedly derailed amid bombshell reports pinning the Hollywood mogul with multiple alleged sexual assaults.
