What next for Steven Spielberg? The veteran director really has done it all, and attempting to divine his next project from the intimidatingly-long list of optioned projects on Spielbergās IMDb profile seems like something of a mugās game. Still, World of Reel is claiming to have some inside knowledge on how Spielberg plans to follow up on The Fabelmans ā and if true, it could be quite the project. The outlet is stating that the last it heard (that being back in the summer of this year), Spielbergās next project was a reimagining of the beloved 1968 Steve McQueen film, Bullitt, directed by Peter Yates. The project is described as a ārebootā rather than a remake because it is described as using āthe classic characterā embodied by McQueen ā that being Lieutenant Frank Bullitt ā but using an āentirely different storyā. Time will tell if this proves to be accurate, but the thought of it alone is pretty exciting. Imagining Spielbergās take on the shadowy streets of San Francisco, the filmās laconic protagonist (said to be played by Bradley Cooper) and yes, that iconic muscle car chase sequence all sounds pretty enticing. Whether it proves to be more than just a rumour remains to be seen, but weāll let you know more as we hear it. ā Thank you for visiting!
