With his his return to summer blockbusters with Disclosure Day not being quite the huge hoped for hit – it made only $247m it seems that for his next film we will see a first for him – Spielberg’s western!
The news of this comes for his long time cinematographer Janusz Kamiński who scored the Visionary Cinematographer Award at Camerimage and will start shooting in 2027 for a 2028 release.
Talking to trade paper The Hollywood Reporter about how he would shoot it differently for an American DoP he said, “We used to go to this region in the Sudeten Mountains, where it was just beautiful, rolling hills, looked like parts of Montana. The lay of the land, the snow on the ground, the fog. Those who shoot American movies tend to come from somewhere else, and we see these same things differently. That’s why there’s room in this profession for men and women from different countries who bring different aesthetics to American movies”
Little detail is known about Spielberg’s western and wanting to avoid tropes and stereotypes but that it would, ‘kicks ass’. To be honest we were hoping his next film would be the long rumoured remake of ‘Bullitt’
