Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters (Movies He Didn't Make)
On the August 30, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor and chief film critic Chris Evangelista to talk about what we’re calling Steven Spielberg’s close encounters.Movies that were eventually made, and not just ones that he considered making, but he seemed to actively work on in some capacity before not directing. So “Night Skies,” his sci-fi horror movie that would have been a spiritual follow-up to Close Encounters, does not count because that was never made and therefore we have nothing to judge.Ace Eli and Rodger of the SkiesWhite LightningCalifornia SplitCruisingThe Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor KingsRain ManCape FearShrekMeet the ParentsTwisterMozart and the WhaleThe Mask of ZorroThe HauntingHarry Potter and the Sorcerer’s StoneBig FishMemoirs of a GeishaThe Curious Case of Benjamin ButtonThe Secret Life of Walter MittyInterstellarThe Trial of the Chicago 7OldboyExodus: Gods and KingsAmerican SniperThe Little ThingsMaestroAll the other stuff you need to know:You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes./Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and TV as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.
