Cross Your Fingers, Steven Spielberg Hints At A Possible Return To Horror

Could it be? Is it true? Well…maybe.

Steven Spielberg has been a staple in many familes homes with films like Jurassic Park, E.T. and Jaws. He’s scared us and made us feel things that were deep and meaningful with his directing. One emotion he for sure captured in his early career was fear.

This weekend Spielberg received the “Honorary Golden Bear” at the Berlin International Film Festival and one thing is very certain: he’s not done behind the camera, not by a long shot.

During his acceptance speech at Berlinale, Spielberg brought up his early horror works including Duel and Jaws a couple times, at one point teasing a potential return to the genre.

“I feel a little alarmed to be told I’ve lived a lifetime because I’m not finished. I want to keep working,” Spielberg made it clear during his speech. “I want to keep learning and discovering and scaring the shit out of myself and sometimes the shit out of you.”

Spielberg continued, “I gotta get back to some of those earlier scarier movies but that’s another story for later on. As long as there’s joy in it for me and as long as my audience can find joy and other human values in my films, I’m reluctant to ever say that’s a wrap.”

Could we see him return to horror though? We may not see it soon but at least he’s thinking about the possibilities.
