After months of speculation over which film he would direct next, Steven Spielberg has finally made his decision. Production Weekly tweets that Steven Spielberg will direct the War Horse based on Michael Morpurgo children’s book World War I. War Horse won out over his long-in-development Abraham Lincoln biopic, a George Gershwin biopic, Jonah Nolan’s Interstellar, and adaptations of Flowers for Algernon, The 39 Clues, Pirates Latitude, and Robopocalypse. Here’s the official product description via Amazon:
In 1914, Joey, a beautiful bay-red foal with a distinctive cross on his nose, is sold to the army and thrust into the midst of the war on the Western Front. With his officer, he charges toward the enemy, witnessing the horror of the battles in France. But even in the desolation of the trenches, Joey’s courage touches the soldiers around him and he is able to find warmth and hope. But his heart aches for Albert, the farmer’s son he left behind. Will he ever see his true master again?
War Horse is currently slated to hit theaters on August 10, 2011. Hit the jump to read the Booklist review of Morpurgo’s novel, which also provides the fun detail that the book is told from the horse’s perspective.
Here’s the Booklist review of War Horse:
Like Morpurgo’s Private Peaceful (2004), this searing World War I novel reveals the unspeakable slaughter of soldiers on all sides fighting against people who are just like them. The story is told by an English farm horse, Joey, and, as in Cynthia Kadahota’s Cracker! The Best Dog in Vietnam (2007), the first-person narrative blends the animal’s physical experience with what men say. On the farm, Joey has close ties to Albert, who is too young to join up when his dad first sells Joey to the army. Charging into battle under machine-gun fire, Joey is captured by the Germans, who train him to haul ambulances and guns. His reunion with Albert in battle is sentimental and contrived, but the viewpoint brings close the fury of the thundering guns, the confusion, and the kindness of enemies who come together in No Man’s Land to save the wounded horse. Joey’s ability to understand the language wherever he is–England, France, Germany–reinforces the novel’s antiwar message, and the terse details speak eloquently about peace. Hazel Rochman.

EPIC FAIL…Where the hell is the Spielburg that made Jaws,Close Encounters, Raiders, Schindlers List and Munich? Obviously going back to crap ideas like War of the Worlds and whatever that horriable robot movie with the irritating kid-bot was called…
I totally disagree with the fact of WarHorse being a ‘crap idea’. As you saw up on the page, war horse won many oscars and munichs! This film deserves a 5 star +.
Yeah, Jaws, Schindlers list, Saving private Ryan where an amazing feet for Spielberg, but he likes to do things his way, it’s his life ‘BrownieMuncher’ not yours.
I agree with Support Spielberg. Browniemuncher can go screw themselves. How dare you call a WWI movie a crap idea!
Yep Spielberg's lost his edge. He's now making a girl and her pony film, oh my mistake, I mean a boy and his 'War Horse' film.
Still another world war 1 movie with realistic violence never hurt anybody.
how can you say he lost his edge? I can tell you haven’t watched the preview or actually looked at the story line. If you knew anything about good films, cinematography or WWI you wouldn’t be insulting the greatest director of all time.

Sounds potentially incredible. A war film told through the eyes of an animal – Spielberg could do something really powerful/beautiful with this.
Looking forward to it.
Jesus, Spielberg. THAT'S your next movie? Jesus, man.
Hey, it’s his life mate… not yours. Spielberg will make something spectacullar out of this. Leave it out.
Spielberg has made something beyond incredible out of this. You don’t know a good movie or story line when you see one. go support a mindless and tasteless shooter action movie, that seems like all you can know
Kitsch as Fuck.
GO WAR HORSE!!!!!
Its an amazing book

YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE
Oh you all shut the hell up! War Hose was made in f*cking 2007 or 2005 or 2010. Because I remember seeing this movies advertisment.
