Steven Spielberg Will Produce A ‘Grapes Of Wrath’ Remake

The novel’s 75th anniversary is coming up next year, and Hollywood has once again made The Grapes of Wrath a hot property. Several suitors reportedly spoke to the estate of John Steinbeck about the film rights but Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks are the ones who will emerge victorious. Spielberg had once considered directing the film, but now will only produce.
Deadline broke the news of this deal.
Both The Grapes of Wrath novel and movie are true American masterpieces and I’m not sure why you need a remake. However, it is a timeless story of struggle and inspiration and handled correctly, could be a solid film providing new meaning to a younger generation.
Who do you think should direct? How about star as Tom Joad?
