Steven Spielberg to Explore Space
Source: Variety June 15, 2006
"Paramount Pictures and Steven Spielberg will develop a space travel story about a group of explorers who travel through a worm hole and into another dimension, says Variety.
Spielberg hopes to direct the film, which Lynda Obst will produce.
The project, in a nascent stage, is anchored in real science. It was derived from a treatment by Kip S. Thorne, a Caltech physicist who's an expert on relativity. Thorne is most famous for his controversial theory that wormholes not only exist but can be accessed and used as portals for time travel.
The trade adds that the sci-fi film certainly won't be the next directing vehicle for Spielberg, as it will take several years to come together. He's most likely to helm either a fourth installment of "Indiana Jones" with Harrison Ford, or an epic on Abraham Lincoln based on a Doris Kearns Goodwin book"
I always wanted him to try and direct his own Star Wars type film. Of course there is no real indication that this is that type of film, and this seems to be more on the Sci Fi side of things, but at least it will be a Spielberg movie with aliens that is not set on Earth.
