Steven Spielberg is reportedly developing an original feature film based on actor Steve McQueen’s iconic title character from the 1968 thriller “Bullitt” for Warner Bros. Pictures.
Josh Singer (“Spotlight,” “The Post”) will pen the screenplay for the film which is classified as NOT a remake, but rather an original story about the character of San Francisco police detective Lieutenant Frank Bullitt.
The original Warners film was based on the 1963 novel “Mute Witness” by Robert L. Fish and follows Bullitt’s investigation into the death of a mob informant that he was tasked with protecting.
The film features one of the most memorable car chases in movie history with McQueen himself famously doing all of his own driving for the scene.
Kristie Macosko Krieger will produce while McQueen’s son Chad McQueen and granddaughter Molly McQueen are executive producing. Spielberg has “The Fabelmans” opening this November.
