The Fabelmans is loosely inspired by Spielberg’s childhood in Arizona which the director has often cited as a major inspiration for his films. Growing up in an Orthodox Jewish family has been the subject that the director often goes back and pays homage to through his work.
Additional cast includes Oakes Fegley, Gabriel Bateman, Nicolas Cantu, Sam Rechner, Judd Hirsh, Chloe East, Isabell Kusman, Jeannie Berlin, Jan Hoag, and more.
The semi-autobiographical feature has been in development for more than 20 years. It will be directed and produced by Spielberg from a screenplay he co-wrote with Tony Kushner. The producers are Kushner and Kristie Macosko Krieger.
