Featuring a screenplay co-written by Spielberg and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner (“Angels in America”), “The Gabelmans” has been described as Spielberg’s most personal film yet, a coming-of-age story inspired by his own childhood as a movie-obsessed teenager growing up in Arizona.
Gabriel LaBelle (“The Predator”) stars as 16-year-old aspiring filmmaker Sammy Fabelman, with Michelle Williams as his artistic mother, Mitzi, and Paul Dano as his successful, scientific father, Burt.
Seth Rogen plays Bennie Loewy, Burt’s best friend and Sammy’s honourary “uncle,” while Judd Hirsch is Mitzi’s Uncle Boris.
