According to Deadline, Spielberg will soon direct a film based on McQueen’s Frank Bullitt character.
I hear Spielberg wants to make Bullitt and I immediately think of Duel, Spielberg’s breakthrough TV movie that was basically one giant chase scene.
If you’re making a Bullitt movie of some kind it’s got to have a chase — which makes you think the movie could have the ultimate Spielberg chase scene in it.
That’s an awfully big turtleneck to fill. Spielberg’s next project, the aforementioned The Fablemans, is scheduled to open in theaters on November 23.
