Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg is stirring up excitement once again with news of his next project. Amid speculation of a potential hiatus or retirement following “The Fablemans,” Spielberg has surprised fans by diving into his latest endeavour.

According to Variety, Spielberg is venturing back into the sci-fi realm with an untitled “UFO movie,” marking a return to the genre that propelled him to cinematic greatness. Details are scarce, but the project is said to be based on Spielberg’s original concept, with the screenplay penned by David Koepp, a frequent collaborator known for his work on iconic Spielberg films like “Jurassic Park” and “War of the Worlds.”

Interestingly, Spielberg isn’t the only heavyweight director making headlines. Variety’s report also highlights Martin Scorsese’s ambitious plans, including two back-to-back projects: an adaptation of Shūsaku Endō’s “Life of Jesus” and a biopic on Frank Sinatra, potentially starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence.

For Spielberg, the sci-fi genre holds a special place in his illustrious career, with classics like “E.T. The Extra Terrestrial” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” solidifying his status as a visionary storyteller. While his last sci-fi outing, “Ready Player One,” garnered mixed reviews, Spielberg remains a cinematic force to be reckoned with, eagerly awaited by fans worldwide.
