Spielberg's 1972 Olympics movie due 12/23/2005
And the Oscar winner for next year is...
from: darkhorizons.com
Universal Pictures is planning a December 23 launch for Steven Spielberg's film about the 1972 Munich Olympics says Reuters.
The untitled project, a co-production between Universal and DreamWorks, had been set to go before the cameras last year. Preproduction had begun in Europe and casting was under way when Spielberg decided to have "Angels in America" playwright Tony Kushner do a rewrite on the project.
With the project postponed, Spielberg moved quickly to begin filming his adaptation of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds." Spielberg now plans to begin filming the Munich project in the summer.

He’s weird like that. Long periods of nothing, then bang! A ton of movies.

Seems like he wants to make his movies in pairs; one for summer blockbuster audiences, and one for Oscar consideration.
I still wonder how in the world he will get this thing done in less than a year.

Spielberg, IMO, has been hitting nothing short of home runs after Saving Private Ryan.
A.I.?
Minority Report?
Catch Me If You Can?
The Terminal? (I'm going to get shit for that one, but I don't care).
As long as he doesn't throw us shit like Amistad, The Lost World, Hook, Always, and 1941; I welcome anything Spielberg does with welcome arms.
[And Jaws is not Spielberg's best film. That honor goes to Empire of the Sun.]

Well, I had heard he was a fast worker on Catch Me If You Can and with putting War of the Worlds together. But this seems almost crazy! Aren't they still shooting War od the Worlds. Oh well. I have faith. But it looks like he's working as fast as Clint Eastwood supposedly does.
