Eve Hewson In Early Talks For Untitled Steven Spielberg Event Film

Eve Hewson is eyeing a reunion with Steven Spielberg for his next big event film.

The Perfect Couple actress is in early talks to star in the Oscar-winning director’s upcoming untitled project at Universal Pictures, Deadline has learned, after Hewson previously appeared in Spielberg’s 2015 historical drama Bridge of Spies.

Scheduled for a May 15, 2026 premiere, the screenplay is based on a true story by Spielberg, with a screenplay by longtime collaborator David Koepp (Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). Kristi Macosko Krieger is producing.

Details of the plot remain unknown.

After the project was announced in May at Universal and Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, Emily Blunt was circling one of the lead roles in June, with Colin Firth also in early talks to join the cast as of last month.
