Spielberg co-wrote the screenplay for the film, based loosely on his own childhood, with Tony Kushner and is producing with Kushner and Kristie Macosko Krieger. Dano is playing a character based on Spielberg’s father, as previously announced, with Williams playing a version of his mother, and Rogen playing a version of his uncle. Universal is releasing the Amblin title on November 23. Our sister publication Variety was first to reveal the Lynch news.

Lynch is the four-time Oscar nominee and nine-time Emmy nominee behind films including Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, a 1984 adaptation of Dune, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Lost Highway, The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire, as well as the iconic series Twin Peaks. The Fabelmans marks his first collaboration with Spielberg. He has also appeared as an actor in his original Twin Peaks series and its 2017 revival, along with many of his own films. The auteur has also been recognized over the course of his career with AFI’s Franklin J. Schaffner Award, Camerimage’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Directing, the Cannes Film Festival’s coveted Palme d’Or and its prize for Best Director, the Venice Film Festival’s Career Golden Lion, the Independent Spirit Awards’ Special Distinction Award, three Golden Globe nominations, two BAFTA Award noms, a Critics’ Choice Award nom, a DGA Award nom, two WGA Award noms and other accolades.
