HollywoodReporter.com — Steven Spielberg will soon be seeing imaginary rabbits.
The filmmaker will direct as his next film a contemporary adaptation of Mary Chase’s play “Harvey,” about a man and his friendship with an invisible six-foot tall rabbit. 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks will coproduce the project.
“Harvey” was first adapted for the screen in 1950 with James Stewart in the starring role as Elwood P. Dowd.
Novelist Jonathan Tropper has written the adaptation for the new version. Tropper is the author of “The Book of Joe,” “Everything Changes,” “Plan B,” “How to Talk to a Widower,” and his newest book, “This is Where I Leave You,” which will be published this month.
