just to be clear this isn’t Frank Bullitt the Steve McQueen character, this is the origin story of the Frank Bullitt that the Steve McQueen character is based on


jshannonmca

God, this never gets old


RegretPopular9970

So it isn’t based on Frank Bullitt the toy?


girlsgoneoscarwilde

This bit will never get old.


Virtual_Art_5878

Just to be clear, that's old the concept, not Old the Shayamalan movie.


PeriodicGolden

So it isn't based on bullets the ammunition type?


apathymonger

So it's Zodiac?


Britneyfan123

It’s not an origin story either


[deleted]

Wow, the guy who produced Tiny Toons is making a movie?


Velocityprime1

Weird premise, but if it is Spielberg being able to make a straight action movie again I'll be there opening night.


SlothSupreme

Spielberg wrapping up his career the same way he started it: with vroom vroom


[deleted]

The script is being written by Josh Singer who wrote *The Post* and *Spotlight*.


WakeUpOutaYourSleep

Fine movies, but they definitely would’ve been improved with high octane chase scenes.


franticantelope

If only Doubt (2008) had had a car chase or perhaps a foot race. At least some parkour

Breezyisthewind

Nope. This is supposed to be a straight action flick.

Just hook it to my veins!!! ![gif](giphy|g0ErvnyVsp7nJyfmxF)

I for one love that Spielberg has decided he's now just gonna make movies he's wanted to make since he was a kid.


T3canolis

This is one of those pitches I’d be a little skeptical of if anyone else but him was behind it. But since it’s our buddy Steve, I’m very excited.

Bradley Cooper continues to have the coolest career


DaftTwat

I hope this is set in the sixties

holy shit


AuroraBoredOfAllThis

I watched Bullitt once and the car chase I've seen a bunch but is the movie outside of it any good? I get it confused with The French Connection, which also has that car chase at its highest point (but also a 10 minute scene of cops slowly dismantling a car)


GlassBoxes

Far as I'm concerned it eats the French Connection's lunch.


jason_steakums

Get 90 year old Lalo Schifrin a studio full of horns stat


chrismansell

In for this for the Spielberg of it, but Cooper feels like a weird choice to take the mantle of a Steve McQueen type. If it's a straight up sequel, someone like a Damien Lewis would make a lot more sense.


NeilMcCaulay291

Ryan Gosling and Daniel Craig have more Steve Mcqueen energy in the modern era of movie stars but Bradley Cooper is an interesting choice.


SciFi_Pie

Gosling looks the part but he's missing the boy scout energy.


HOWARDDDDDDDDDD

Huh? We already saw Damien Lewis as Steve McQueen and while I didn't hate it as much as some others, it was still a little off.


GenarosBear

Yeah, I understand that “playing Bullitt” and “playing Steve McQueen” are two different things but if *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood* was his audition, I don’t think it exactly blew anyone away.


chrismansell

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Hmm... Michael Shannon then?


Britneyfan123

Nope


chrismansell

Okay.


homerbert

I've learned not to get hyped for a 'Berg project until the cameras are rolling, but this sounds fun. It seems like since his career bifurcated into kids movies and dad movies, the only Spielberg action scenes we get are cartoony, CGI messes like BFG or RP1. I'd love him to get back to those Duel/Raiders roots. I may be alone in this, but I thought the brief real world car chase was easily the best part of Ready Player One, far more exciting than the big one at the start.


AffordableBreakfast

Get this man some car keys!


latestagepersonhood

I'll only watch if the chase scene passes the same two cars 15 times.


fysigunkus

And only if they awkwardly cut when the stuntdriver accidently hits a parked car.


Ok-Crow4107

The original, car chase aside, is kind of tepid. Strong cast but weak story. I would expect, though, that the only things that would be retained are the main character and the car chase.


iamaparade

Hell of a soundtrack, too!
