Spielberg Directing ‘Harvey’ Remake About a Giant Invisible Rabbit
Steven Spielberg is set to direct his next film, and it’s a remake of the classic film Harvey.
Steven Spielberg has committed to direct, as his next film, “Harvey,” an adaptation of the Mary Chase Pulitzer Prize-winning play about a man — played by Jimmy Stewart in the 1950 film version — who befriends a 6½-foot-tall invisible rabbit.
Spielberg aims to begin production early next year, so the helmer is expected to reach out to a handful of top stars, most notably Tom Hanks and Will Smith, to find someone whose availability meshes with the planned start dates.
The original Jimmy Stewart version is one of my absolute favorite old films, I wonder who will be cast as the lead in this one.

DROP A COMMENT BELOW
The movie “HARVEY” wasn’t that good a movie back in 1951. Infact I then thought it was strained. It essentially tried to make a drunk, likeable.
I would hope Spielberg & Tom Hanks who I gather will star in it could use
their efforts for a better cause.
Perhaps they will make the rabbit (played by Will Smith), the drunk
Then good ole over-the hill-Tom can show him a btter way of life.
This approach is of course politically incorrect. So if Spielberg wants a hit
he beter hire Borat to polish the script.
Ouch! I really loved that movie. It’s a great little psychological comedy.
