Untitled Stephen Spielberg Horror Movie
During his recent acceptance speech for the “Honorary Golden Bear” award at the Berlin International Film Festival, Stephen Spielberg stated he wants to “get back to some of those earlier, scarier movies” in his career so he may continue “scaring the shit of myself and sometimes the shit out of you.”
I feel a little alarmed to be told I’ve lived a lifetime because I’m not finished. I want to keep working. I want to keep learning and discovering and scaring the shit out of myself and sometimes the shit out of you.
I gotta get back to some of those earlier scarier movies but that’s another story for later on. As long as there’s joy in it for me and as long as my audience can find joy and other human values in my films, I’m reluctant to ever say that’s a wrap.
The Buried Giant
Deadline additionally reports Guillermo del Toro is attached to direct an animated film based on of Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant at Netflix. The story follows “an elderly Briton couple, Axl and Beatrice, living in a fictional post-Arthurian England in which no one is able to retain long-term memories. “

However, Lois’ own work-life balance is put to the test when an undercover assignment reveals a deadly foe that promises to change the Kent family forever. Superman would move heaven and earth for his family, but with a villain this merciless, even that might not be enough. Meanwhile, the Kent boys find themselves being pulled in opposite directions.
