Steven Spielberg to direct 'War Horse'

Steven Spielberg will next direct "War Horse," a drama set during World War I. DreamWorks will team up with Disney to release the movie Aug. 10, 2011, which is a couple of months before the release of Spielberg's "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn." That one is now in post-production.

"Horse" is based on the book by Michael Morpurgo, and it follows the friendship between a boy and his horse during the war. Lee Hall and Richard Curtis are writing the screenplay. We've heard about several projects Spielberg wants to tackle, but this one is definitely going to be his next. (Source: Variety)
