There are many good movies related to the motor world, but if we have to highlight one that is cult, that would be bullitt. Released in 1968, it was a work by director Peter Yates that had the legendary Steve McQueen playing the role of Lieutenant Frank Bullitt. One of the most remembered scenes in film history is the chase with that Ford Mustang GT-390 through the streets of San Francisco. Now a new version of the film is confirmed with Steven Spielberg in the lead of the project.
That news already began to sound a few months ago, but now it seems almost confirmed and we have a protagonist. Bradley Cooper He will be the actor in charge of giving life to Frank Bullitt and continue the legacy of McQueen. The American known for his participation in films such as A Star is Born, american sniper either limitless he will also produce the new Bullitt along with Spielberg. They will join Kristie Macosko Krieger (Spielberg’s partner in other works), in addition to Chad and Molly McQueen, son and granddaughter of the actor, who will be executive producers.
It is already talked about Josh Singer will be on board as a screenwriter, after his work on Spot light and being linked to Cooper and Spielberg in the film Teacher, still brand new. With this formula, it only remains to see the development of this version of Bullitt, which will not be a remake. Apparently, it does not try to replicate the original film, but rather a new character centric idea by Frank Bullitt. In any case, the movie is still in development and everything is up in the air. The only actor that is known is the protagonist and there could still be many turns.
There is no date for its start of production and much less premiere. It is hardly known that the idea began to take shape during the quarantine, with some Cooper and Spielberg who had been seeking to collaborate for years. That relationship already began with Maestro and now it seems that it will be extended with the project of bringing Bullitt back to life. In any case, all fans of the motor world we hope there will be a great persecution Just like in the classic movie. You could use that original Mustang or even something more recent like the Ford Mustang Bullitt that came out for the film’s 50th anniversary.
