Steven Spielberg has a giant rabbit on his mind for his next film.Spielberg is directing a remake of the James Stewart classic "Harvey," the story of a big-hearted eccentric who's branded a crackpot for claiming to have a 6-foot tall invisible rabbit as his best buddy.
Casting is just getting started, with production expected to begin early next year.
Novelist Jonathan Tropper has written the adaptation for the new version that Spielberg will direct. The new version will be a contemporary update of Stewart's 1950 film, which was based on Mary Chase's Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
The film is a co-production between Spielberg's DreamWorks Studio and 20th Century Fox. A release date has not been announced, but a Fox spokesman said the studio is looking to have the film in theaters late next year.
"I am very happy to be working again with my friend Tom Rothman who shepherded us through 'Minority Report,' and with Elizabeth and Carla, who I'm looking forward to collaborating with," Spielberg said in a press release.
