Spielberg Already Revealed The Perfect Western For His Next Movie

Steven Spielberg’s most recent film West Side Story could hint at Spielberg’s next movie, which might just be a remake of a classic Western. Steven Spielberg is one of the most influential filmmakers of all time, and when he revealed his 20 favorite movies, only one Western made the list. That Western was John Ford’s The Searchers. Now that he has done a remake of West Side Story, a remake of The Searchers, one of his favorite movies, seems like a perfect next step for Spielberg.

Spielberg’s career began with The Sugarland Express and took a huge step up when he released Jaws – the first summer blockbuster – the very next year. Recently, Spielberg announced he’s developing his first Western. While he has shown his skills in every genre from action to fantasy, one that remains untouched by his seemingly limitless talent is a Western. Biopic, drama, sci-fi, comedy, nothing seems to be out of director Steven Spielberg’s reach, so why hasn’t he made a Western yet? While audiences have been buzzing since Spielberg announced he is currently working on one for the first time, viewers have also started to make guesses as to what the film could be.

Spielberg’s success in remaking West Side Story and his desire to take his shot at directing a Western make The Searchers a potential next step in his directorial career. Ford’s seminal classic is a great choice for Steven Spielberg’s next movie if it is to be a Western, especially as Spielberg has already revealed it’s one of his all-time favorite movies made by one of his greatest filmmaking inspirations in John Ford. A remake of The Searchers is the perfect opportunity for Spielberg to make his mark on a genre that has so far eluded him.

Spielberg has proven his ability to craft a successful remake with his newest release West Side Story, another foray into a brand-new genre for him. West Side Story is his first-ever musical, and thus far, critics have praised the film as yet another high point in Spielberg’s long and box office record-breaking career. Remakes challenge directors to pay tribute to the original film while also doing something that is just unique enough to prove that remaking a film people already know and love was worthwhile. He accomplished this with his first musical and now is his chance to do it once again with his first Western. Spielberg expertly blended new techniques with classic storytelling, so it is safe to assume he can do so again.

Not only is another remake a way for Spielberg to showcase his ever-evolving talent, but John Ford’s The Searchers is the perfect choice for Spielberg’s next movie due to his great respect for the late director. Filmmakers constantly pay homage to Steven Spielberg, but Spielberg, one of the greatest directors of all time, constantly turns to Ford for inspiration; in his words, he is “very sensitive to the way [Ford] uses his camera to paint his pictures.” He has praised Ford for using the land as another character and said that he keeps Ford in mind while creating many of his movies, even using footage from Ford’s The Quiet Man in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. There is no better way for Spielberg to come full circle with his career than to remake one of his favorite movies created by his greatest filmmaking inspiration in John Ford. Directing another excellent remake in the Western genre would only prove that decades into an illustrious filmmaking career, Steven Spielberg only continues to evolve.
