New story details and time period are revealed for Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film, The Fabelmans. Spielberg is the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind such beloved classics as Jaws, E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, and countless others. He is currently nominated for Best Director and Best Picture at the 2022 Oscars for his latest feature, West Side Story.
The Fabelmans has thus far been described as a semi-autobiographical tale about the famed director, tracing his early roots as a budding filmmaker. The cast so far includes Gabriel LaBelle as Sammy Fabelman, who represents Spielberg, Michelle Williams as Spielberg's mother, Paul Dano as his father, and Seth Rogen as Spielberg's uncle. In addition, fellow acclaimed director David Lynch joined The Fabelmans cast in an undisclosed,"closely guarded" role.
It’s a very beautiful, beautiful personal movie. It’s very revealing about Steven’s life and who he is as a filmmaker. Kamiński also says that The Fabelmans will explore not only Spielberg's passion for making films, but how he used that passion as a way to "go through that difficult period of being a teenager," as well as diving into more complex issues, such as Spielberg's conservative, Jewish upbringing and exposure to antisemitism.
The Fabelmans sounds like a compelling project from Spielberg, and it's no easy feat when attempting to tell his own life story on film. Set pics from the film have revealed that the director is recreating the look of his parents with exactness, making the the film seem all the more personal.
So, this is technically his first 'fully original' project, right? If so, that makes me more excited! (The only other Spielberg adaptation I'd like is Ready Player Two)
