The new movie poster for Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans has arrived, giving us our first look at the picture in all its poster glory. There is a movie called The Fabelmans, and it will be shown in theatres on November 11 of 2022. The world premiere of the film occurred on September 10, 2022, at the Toronto International Film Festival. Spielberg directed and co-wrote The Fabelmans because he wanted to do it. The picture is inspired by Spielberg’s personal experiences as an imaginative kid in post-war America. Sammy Fabelman (played by Sam Rockwell) is a young filmmaker trying to find his way while dealing with family strife and the pressures of his own creative ambitions.
Sammy is divided between his desire to please his extremely rigorous and scientific father Burt (Paul Dano) and his affection for his unconditionally supporting mother Mitzi (Michelle Williams), who is limited in her ability to express her creativity. Also starring in the film is Judd Hirsch as Mitzi’s Uncle Boris and Seth Rogen as Sammy’s honorary uncle Bennie Loewy, both of whom are played by Gabriel LaBelle’s real-life uncles, Williams and Dano. Jeannie Berlin, Julia Butters, Robin Bartlett, and Keeley Karsten also star in the film. This new poster for the classic coming-of-age picture from the 1950s provides us with a stunning new look at the film, highlighting its emphasis on the power of cinema and how it relates to Sammy’s concept of who he is and where he comes from as a person.
At the top of the poster is the slogan “Capture Every Moment,” while cascading film reels fill the rest of the picture space. The slogan is fairly literal, and the image of Sammy holding his cupped hands in front of a projector illustrates Sammy’s urge to preserve the key moments in his life and translate them into a visual narrative. Sammy’s mother dancing, his father with a monkey on his shoulder, a staged family portrait, and other pivotal events from his life and cinematic development are all recorded in the tumbling filmstrips.
Sammy’s future success in film, as well as the influence of his early life and fascination with film, are depicted at the poster’s bottom by a silhouette of Sammy going out of a film lot and into the lit film strips. The film’s script was written by Spielberg and Tony Kushner, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in drama. The Fabelmans, which Carla Raij and Josh McLaglen are producing, will have its world debut on November 11, 2022.
