Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg is set to direct a film that will be loosely based on his own childhood growing up in Arizona. American actor Michelle Williams is in talks to star in the untitled film in a major role. As per Variety, the iconic filmmaker co-wrote the script with Tony Kushner, who previously worked with the director on movies such as Munich and Lincoln. Several screen tests are being conducted to find young actors of multiple ages to round out the cast, and one of them will play the role inspired by a young Spielberg. There are not many plot details available for the film, other than that it will focus on the main character, who is not named Steven, as a young child and teen.
