Emily Blunt in Talks to Star in Steven Spielberg's Next Movie.


Emily Blunt is in early talks to join Steven Spielberg's currently untitled next feature at Universal Pictures.

The legendary director – known for Jaws, Indiana Jones, and Jurassic Park – is currently working on his next project, which is reportedly a UFO movie, marking his return to the sci-fi genre after Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., and War of the Worlds.

Though a deal hasn't been closed, early talks involving Blunt have been encouraging, with The Fall Guy star potentially boarding what's been described as a two-hander project. Should an agreement be finalized, it would be the first Spielberg-helmed movie Blunt would feature in, though she previously appeared in 2016's The Girl on the Train, which was produced by Amblin.

Blunt is coming off an Oscar nomination for Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and was last in cinemas last month with “The Fall Guy” along with a voice role in the currently in release “IF”.

She’s currently in production on the A24 feature “The Smashing Machine” which reunites her with her “Jungle Cruise” co-star Dwayne Johnson.
