The fabelmans

Chloe East, one of the breakouts of Steven Spielberg’s latest feature The Fabelmans, is in talks for Heretic from A Quiet Place creatives Beck and Woods wrote and will direct the movie that follows two Mormon missionaries who attempt to convert a man that turns out to be far more dangerous than they could have anticipated. Hugh Grant is also in talks for the feature. The A24 project is eying a July start date but, as with any films shooting this summer, production can be affected by the possible SAG-AFTRA strike. The New York-based indie studio has found success with the horror-thriller genre, including Ari Aster entries Hereditary and Midsommar and Ti West and Mia Goth’s X films, which includes the upcoming threequel Maxxine. In a competitive situation, A24 picked up the hot Sundance supernatural horror title Talk to Me earlier this year. In the semi-autobiographical The Fabelmans, East played the high school girlfriend of the young stand-in for Spielberg, played by Gabriel LaBelle. Past credits include series Kevin (Probably) Saves the World and HBO Max teen drama Generation. East is repped by WME, LINK Entertainment, Vault Entertainment, and Felker Toczek.

Like Belfast, Spielberg's The Fabelmans pulls inspiration from the life of its director and co-writer. Like Spielberg once was, his young protagonist Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle) is a Jewish boy who finds magic at the movies. Also like Spielberg, Sammy has three sisters, a mother who was once a concert pianist, and an electrical engineer father whose work moved the East Coast(ish) household to Phoenix, Arizona, in the 1950s. Devotees of the director will likely relish wondering which bits of the film are pulled directly from his life (like his first homemade movie featuring a toy train crash) and which have been given the ol’ Hollywood glow-up. The master moviemaker mythologizes himself with recreations not only of his youth and family but also the early film shoots that served as earnest homages to the titans who came before him. There's a joyous...
