Popular Post Once 551 Posted March 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2021 Quote Sources tell Deadline that Spielberg is coming on to direct an untitled pic at Amblin Partners that is loosely based on his childhood growing up in Arizona. Insiders add that Michelle Williams is in negotiations to star in a major role inspired by his mom but with a separate and original voice. Given how personal the story is, this will also mark the first time since A.I. that Spielberg will partake in screenwriting duties, co-writing the script with Tony Kushner, who has penned several Spielberg movies in the past. The film will start shooting this summer with an expectation that it will be released sometime in 2022. Couldn't find a thread on this (maybe I didn't look hard enough?). This project sounds ideal for a great Williams score... Source! May the Force be with You, Jay, Cerebral Cortex and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 4,974 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Sounds like an excellent project for Williams to score. Maybe it'll be a score like the music from the childhood scenes of Born on the Fourth of July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May the Force be with You 2,032 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Spielberg wouldn't be Spielberg without Williams, the two have such a perfect alchimie that a Williams score could only be a perfect idea.

Popular Post crumbs 12,972 Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2021 Even more interesting than Rogen co-starring, Spielberg himself is co-writing the screenplay with Tony Kushner! That's an elite combination of talent. And it's Spielberg's first writing project since A.I. Not sure if that's new information but it was to me!
