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.
