As one of cinema’s greatest directors, Steven Spielberg has achieved it all.

From Jaws and Indiana Jones, to E.T. and Schinder’s List, the legendary filmmaker has delivered a wide variety of stories that have charmed and thrilled audiences….not to mention a few tears along the way!

For his latest effort, the two-time Oscar-winner has opted to present a semi-autobiographical account of his childhood via his new film, The Fabelmans. As expected, a poignant trailer has landed and explores various themes about family that have been incorporated in some of his greatest works.

The plot follows a young man named Sammy who discovers a shattering family secret and explores how the power of films can help him see the truth.

Newcomer Mateo Zoryna Francis-Deford and Gabriel LaBelle (The Predator, American Gigolo) play the younger and older version of Sammy alongside Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood, The Batman) and four-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain, My Week With Marilyn) as his parents.

The rest of the ensemble includes Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Pam & Tommy), Jeannie Berlin (The Heartbreak Kid, Succession), Julia Butters (Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, The Gray Man), Sam Rechner (Ruby’s Choice) and Judd Hirsch (Taxi, Ordinary People).

As expected, legendary composer (and frequent Spielberg collaborator) John Williams (Jaws, E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial, Jurassic Park) is involved with the film’s score.

Touted as a major awards contender, The Fabelmans will be released in the UK on 23 November.
