Spielberg Eyes Up Harry

Having taken a couple of years off between films, director Steven Spielberg looks set to make up for lost time. If half the rumours are true, the director will have to do at least two movies back-to-back next year, to fit in all his commitments. Film pundits are predicting that in addition to taking over from Kubrick on the AI project Spielberg will also look at directing Tom Cruise in Minority Report. According to Variety, he's also been waiting to see the script due in this week from Steve Kloves for the first Harry Potter movie. And that's in addition to Indy 4 and Memoirs of a Geisha. Also in the pipeline is the upcoming mini-series Band of Brothers, being filmed next year in the UK, which Spielberg is co-producing with Tom Hanks.
