Steven Spielberg and Universal set Summer 2026 release for his 'new original event film'... reuniting with Jurassic Park writer David Koepp


Steven Spielberg has set his next film project, teaming once again with Universal Pictures for what is described as 'an original event film.'

The 77-year-old filmmaker - who attended longtime friend George Lucas' birthday party last weekend - will be reuniting with screenwriter David Koepp, who has written some of his biggest movies like Jurassic Park, according to Variety. This could be Spielberg's shot at returning to the top of the box office heap, since, while he's widely considered the most successful commercial filmmaker ever, his last few films haven't been huge smash hits.
