Matt C 455 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm not going to hold my breath for this. Spielberg should probably develop one project at a time and stick with it, it's not helping when he keeps flitting to another one when one doesn't go the way he wants.If this gets to the filming stage, then we can talk. I expect Spielberg to jump ship at the end of the year, citing "script issues" or whatever to that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I have read Bernal Diaz de Castillo narrative in "Conquest of New Spain" and it's one of the most astonishing things I have ever read (not the writing itself, but the content of the narrative). I would be absolutely over the moon if Spielberg and JW would tackle such an event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brónach 1,302 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It's really interesting because what we see in the history is an imperialist empire suddenly facing a really small army of an imperialist empire from another continent somehow allying itself with those around it.It has a lot of interesting anecdotes. For example, the locals would happily receive the "Virgin Mary" as another figure in their pantheon, much to the chagrin of the Cortés who wanted all the other deities destroyed.Chaac - who would shoot this film in classical Nahuatl and classical Castilian just to annoy Alexcremers.

mrbellamy 6,293 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Not getting my hopes up.Me neither, but of all the projects he's had lined up since he dropped Interstellar, this is easily the most intriguing. Even if he does go through with it, though, it sounds too big to get off the ground anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,373 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Oh yea, Interstellar was the most interesting for sure, especially for the potential Williams score.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/steve-zaillian-writing-producing-montezuma-668621Spielberg is notorious for developing, some might even say overdeveloping, projects but not pulling the trigger. But Zaillian and Spielberg have a long history, and the two made Schindler's List into a Oscar-winning hit. It is, however, unclear what other projects Spielberg is developing in addition to Montezuma that might vie for his attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Let's hope Zaillian doesn't fuck around with Trumbo's script too much - given his last projects (All the Kings's Men, shudder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Let's hope this dies in developmental hell. I'm sure there is an audience for a film about this just like there is an audience for the Lorraine Gary story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
