The original Bullitt

A reimagining of the classic 1968 crime thriller Bullitt is said to be next on Steven Spielbergā€™s slate.
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 Spielbergā€™s IMDb profile seems like something of a mugā€™s 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), Spielbergā€™s next project was a reimagining of the beloved 1968 Steve McQueen film, Bullitt, directed by Peter Yates. The project is described as a ā€˜rebootā€™ rather than a remake because it is described as using ā€˜the classic characterā€™ embodied by McQueen  ā€“ that being Lieutenant Frank Bullitt ā€“ but using an ā€˜entirely different storyā€™. Time will tell if this proves to be accurate, but the thought of it alone is pretty exciting. Imagining Spielbergā€™s take on the shadowy streets of San Francisco, the filmā€™s 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 weā€™ll let you know more as we hear it. ā€” Thank you for visiting! If youā€™d like to support our attempts to make a non-clickbaity movie website: Follow Film Stories on Twitter here, and on Facebook here.
