An untitled western set in Poland, with shooting expected in 2027. That is the project Steven Spielberg has in preparation, according to Cineblog: the outlet writes that the story "is circulating with growing insistence among industry sources" and that the film remains in development. The piece contains no official confirmation from the production.
The director's filmography spans adventure, science fiction, war, thriller, historical drama and even a musical. The western is the missing genre. Cineblog calls this the first Spielberg film in the genre and notes that the project does not yet have an official title.
The choice of Poland also moves the project onto film-tourism ground, a thread our guides follow closely in the piece on «Il Canto della Foresta». But the main reason is technical: the cinematographer. Janusz Kamiński, born in Poland and a two-time Academy Award winner, is working from his own memories of the Sudetes, the mountain range on the border between Poland and the Czech Republic: in those landscapes, Cineblog writes, Kamiński is looking for the film's visual material.
The partnership between the two runs through Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Munich, Lincoln and The Fabelmans. According to the report, the production plan calls for shooting to begin in 2027: no release date is given.
