The always prodigious Steven Spielberg just released his first musical, “West Side Story,” in December, is already done shooting his next film (“Meet The Fabelman”), and already has many future projects brewing. One of those potential films may allow the filmmaker to tackle crime in San Francisco during the swinging 1960s, placing Spielberg directly in the cop action genre.

EXCLUSIVE: Even as he juggles an awards-season campaign for West Side Story and post-production on his semi-autobiographical pic The Fablemans, Steven Spielberg looks to be getting that future dance card in order. Sources tell Deadline that he is attached to direct a new original story centered on Frank Bullitt, the iconic character played by Steve McQueen in the 1968 thriller Bullitt. Spielberg will also produce the pic along with Kristie Macosko Krieger, with Josh Singer on board to pen the script. The film is set up at Warner Bros.

Zack Sharf Mark Wahlberg revealed on KFC Radio this week (via Esquire) that he tried and failed to pitch to Warner Bros. a sequel to Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winner “The Departed.” Wahlberg earned an Oscar nomination for supporting actor thanks to his role in “The Departed,” which grossed $291 million worldwide and won four Academy Awards (including best picture and best director).

Clayton Davis You can find strange similarities between almost any two years for Oscar prognosticating. Just days away from the 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards and three weeks out from BAFTA and Critics Choice ceremonies, there are odd correlations between this year’s crop of nominees and the ceremony that rewarded the 1952 cinematic year.Denis Villeneuve’s omission from best director for the sci-fi drama “Dune” was the most shocking when Oscar nominations were announced.

Warner Bros. is hoping that “The Batman” is going to usher in a new era of the Caped Crusader with director Matt Reeves and actor Robert Pattinson giving audiences more of a crime thriller take on the DC Comics vigilante, seemingly focusing on Bruce Wayne’s legacy as the “world’s greatest detective.” The trailers have amped up Paul Dano‘s menacing Riddler as a grittier villain than you normally see but it doesn’t sound like the anticipated pic is going to lead to rushed sequels to meet rabid audience demand.
