After thinking about what his next project after the Tintin movie will be, Steven Spielberg has finally chosen it. It's not Interstellar, nor is it The 39 Steps, nor will be it the long gestating Lincoln biopic that's supposed to star Liam Neeson. Instead, it's an adaptation of a novel that's currently a smash stage play in London. It's War Horse.
Spielberg's novel will be based on the novel by Michael Morpurgo, with writers Richard Curtis (Love Actually) and Lee Hall working on the adaptation. Producing are Spielberg's go-to team, Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall, and a new fellow named Revel Guest.
The story is set during World War I and the main character is a foal named Joey. Separated from his beloved master and sent to the front lines of battle, the horse touches the emotions of the men he fights alongside with. Back at home, Albert, the horse's master,...

Finally, Steven Spielberg has chosen his next project: War Horse, the World War I story about a friendship between a boy and a horse. It's been two years since Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull bowed, and audiences worldwide have been waiting for Spielberg to choose his next movie. (Yes, he's been working on the Tintin series with Peter Jackson but that film won't bow until Christmas 2011.) In the meantime, Spielberg has turned his sights to War Horse. The project is based on a novel by Michael Morpurgo that was published in Great Britain back in 1982. The...

The book tells the epic tale of a friendship between a boy and his horse, who become separated but continue to be intertwined as they try to survive the horrors of World War I.

It was the basis for one of the most buzzed about plays in London over the last few years, and now Michael Morpurgo's War Horse has been optioned for the big screen by DreamWorks, with Billy Elliot's Lee Hall set to write the screenplay.Definitely one for the horsey set, this sees a farm horse called Joey sold to the British cavalry early in World War I and shipped off to the battlefields, much against the wishes of his young owner Albert. Joey is captured by the Germans and used by them as well, seeing the War from both sides but unaffected by nationalism, while Albert - too young to enlist - sets off on a rescue mission.The film will be produced by the all-star team of Steven Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Revel Guest, which has got to be a good sign for War Horse.
