 Netflix Incorporation added acclaimed filmmaker Steve Spielberg to its roaster with a joint announcement on Monday of a deal for his Ublin partner production company to supply multiple movies a year for several years. The academic award-winning director of big-screen classics such as E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial, Slider's List, and Saving Pirate Ryan will continue to direct and produce movies for compact corporations' Universal Pictures under a separate agreement. The new arrangement brings a high-profile name to the list of talents working with Netflix at a time when a host of competitors, including Walt Disney Co and Amazon.com Incorporation, are competing for streaming audiences. Spielberg has been at odds with Netflix in recent years when he argued that movies seen primarily on television should be illegible for Emmys and not Oscars. He has spoken out about wanting to preserve the experience of seeing movies in theaters.
