What collaborations would you like to see?


I'd like to see Spielberg direct William H. Macy in a flick. It doesn't have to be in a lead role and it can be in whichever genre.

I know that mega-selling author and sometimes screenwriter, Stephen King, and Steven Spielberg have been trying to work together for years. I hope finally a project comes together that they can both work on.

Yes, it would be good to see Macy star in a Spielberg film. To be sure, he's at least been in films which Spielberg has executive produced, such as Seasbiscuit and Jurassic Park III.

Spielberg and Stephen King produced a show in 2009 called Under the Dome (which I never saw).

About the idea of Spielberg directing a King story: I'm not sure. King's whole style of setting horror stories in Maine, with subplots about adults having extra-marital affairs and whatnot, isn't really what I'd call Spielbergian. But maybe if Spielberg wanted to adapt an old-fashioned coming-of-age story like Rob Reiner did with Stand by Me, it could work.

Totally forgot about that one. Good catch.

How about King and Spielberg coming up with an original story that King writes and Spielberg directs?

A Project with Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep was the voice of the Blue Fairy in A.I.

reply

Yes but is only the voice i want the performance.
I read that Spielberg wants to work with Meryl at many years and the Robert DeNiro the same think.I hope that one day is possible it.
In my case i was thinking in Kate Winslet and Nicole Kidman too.
Wouldn´t be excellent to do one movie with Kate and other with Nicole one day?.
