Hollywood veteran Steven Spielberg is set to begin his next feature directorial project, which will release in cinemas worldwide in May 2026.

Hollywood studio Universal and Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment announced the filmmaker’s new film on Thursday.

The film, which does not yet have a title, is described as an “original event film,” entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter reports.

Based on a story by Spielberg, the film’s screenplay is written by his longtime collaborator David Koepp, who previously worked with the director on “Jurassic Park” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”

Spielberg last directed the semi-autobiographical “The Fabelmans”, which will be released in 2022.

The Amblin film, released by Universal, received seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Direction, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, and Best Picture.
