Steven Spielberg, Steve McQueen, Ford Mustang: these are three names that placed side by side, can generate hype by themselves to sell hundreds of copies with their eyes closed. In the world of action / crime films of the sixties it is impossible not to mention that of Bullitt: Lieutenant Frank (played by Steve McQueen in fact) has created two myths.
The first related to the manhunt, introducing for the first time a character like this reckless lieutenant, cynical and angry with life who decides to solve a case that allows him to take back his life. Second myth (certainly not less) is to have given its name to the 1968 Mustang modelof a distinct green called Dark Island Green.
In this film, the myth of the competition between the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Charger: the American muscle cars par excellence have been fighting ever since, with no holds barred (gas of course). Moreover, it was certainly not the first time of a Mustang at the cinema: did you know it was also a 007 car?
The film was commissioned by Steve McQueen’s son and granddaughterrespectively Chad and Molly McQueen, who will play the role of producers, while at the moment we know that the script is in progress but that it will not be the filmmaker Spielberg to take care of the manuscript in particular but rather of the actual direction. We can therefore say that the film will not bear the name of the lord of the cinema but that it will have “his gaze”
Currently we do not know how many years the production will take but according to the latest works by Spielberg who during this time has dealt with the post production of Fablemansa film that deals with his youth and that at the moment has a film in the running for 2022 Oscars titled West Side Storywe are sure that we will not see this new story (which is not a remake therefore) with the Lieutenant Bullitt before the end of 2023. There are no certain dates, we also do not know if the film will be distributed on the main streaming platforms or only in cinemas.
