Steven Spielberg‘s next movie is coming together. The legendary director has targeted a a release date window and tapped a writer to join him on his project.
Spielberg’s next film will be backed by Universal Pictures and is set to open on May 15, 2026. As of yet, it’s unclear what the project will be called or even about, although previous reports did note that Spielberg was working on an original UFO story.
Confirming previous reports, Variety also noted that Spielberg will be working with David Koepp on the film, with Koepp writing the script for the project.
Koepp and Spielberg are no strangers to each other, with Koepp having written 1993’s Jurassic Park, 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park, 2005’s War of the Worlds, and 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for Spielberg.
Spielberg has several projects in the works
Up next for Spielberg, the director is reportedly working with Martin Scorsese on a television project based on the 1991 and 1962 movies Cape Fear. Not a whole lot is known about that project as of now, however, so it remains to be seen when we’ll see more of that.
Spielberg’s last feature film was 2022’s The Fabelmans, a project that was written and directed by Spielberg and told a fictionalized version of his adolescence and first years as a filmmaker.
