For the first time since 2001’s ‘A.I.: Artificial Intelligence’, Spielberg has been credited as a co-writer of the screenplay, along with regular collaborator Tony Kushner. Spielberg and Kushner are also producing the film with Kristie Macosko Krieger, through Amblin Partners. Production is set to start in the summer, with a release in 2022, most likely through Amblin’s existing distribution deal with Universal. The film will be drawing from Spielberg’s experiences when his family lived in Arizona in the late 1950s and ’60s, which coincided with his earliest experiments with making home movies.┬аWest Side Story Teaser: Ansel Ergot And Rachel Zegler Are The Star-Crossed Lovers In This Calmly Chaotic Steven Spielberg Musical (Watch Video).
Spielberg has three younger sisters, the oldest of which, Anne, followed her brother into feature filmmaking, working at his production company Amblin Entertainment, before co-writing the 1988 comedy ‘Big’ with Gary Ross. Butters’ character, however, is her own creation, not based on a specific sibling. After walking away with every scene, she had in Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 love letter to old Hollywood, Butters became an overnight star. As per Variety, now 12 years old, she’s currently shooting the Russo brothers’ thriller ‘The Gray Man’ with Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans.
