In addition to this newly announced project, Spielberg is also gearing up to executive produce the small screen adaptation of The Talisman alongside the Duffer Brothers.
It’s the first time Spielberg has been involved in the screenwriting of his project since A.I. Artificial Intelligence in 2001.
Casting is currently underway for children at multiple age levels, including one character based on young Spielberg himself.
Spielberg will pen the script alongside acclaimed playwright and frequent collaborator Tony Kushner (Angels in America).
