Variety has confirmed that John Williams is reteaming with Steven Spielberg on the upcoming drama The Fabelmans. The composer is currently scoring the film and will be recording his music next month in Los Angeles. The movie, which is loosely based on Spielberg’s childhood, stars Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, Paul Dano and Gabriel LaBelle. Spielberg also co-wrote the screenplay with Tony Kushner (Munich, West Side Story). They are both also producing the Amblin Entertainment production with Kristie Macosko Krieger (Ready Player One, Bridge of Spies). The Fabelmans is set to be released in theaters on November 23, 2022 by Universal Pictures.
As previously reported, Williams also has the fifth installment in the Indiana Jones series (to be released on June 30, 2023) coming up.
Good news indeed. And by the way: Happy 90th Birthday, Mr. Williams!
