“Steven Spielberg came in, and said, ‘I have a super scary story I want to do,’” Quibi founder, Jeffrey Katzenberg says at the Banff World Media Festival in Canada.
“He’s writing it himself. He hasn’t [written anything in a while] so getting him to write something is fantastic.”
Spielberg requested the show only be viewed after midnight, so Quibi engineers came up with a plan. A clock will appear on viewers phones, tracking the sunset. The clock also tracks when the sun comes back up, during that time the show will be unavailable until it is once again after midnight.
