Meet the Spielberg Family in 'The Fabelmans' Featurette 'A Look Inside'

"I wanted people to see their own families inside this story." Universal Pictures has released a featurette for Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans, which is currently playing in select theaters and opening nationwide this week just in time for Thanksgiving. This video features the cast with Spielberg explaining how emotional it was to work on this project. I would watch 30 minutes of this!! It's the most personal film Spielberg has ever made, reflecting the experiences that made him the filmmaker we know and love, in a story based on his own childhood. Growing up in post-WWII Arizona, a boy named Sammy uncovers a heartbreaking family secret and explores how the power of movies can help him uncover the truth. Spielberg's The Fabelmans stars Gabriel LaBelle as 16-year-old aspiring filmmaker Sammy Fabelman; Michelle Williams as her artistic mother, Mitzi; Paul Dano as his successful scientist father, Burt; Seth Rogen as Bennie Loewy, Burt's best friend and honorary "uncle" to the Fabelman children, and Judd Hirsch as Mitzi's Uncle Boris. It's definitely a film worth seeing in theaters this fall - Spielberg's most personal story.

Here's the "A Look Inside" featurette for Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans, straight from YouTube:

TIFF Intro: "Gabriel LaBelle gives an outstanding performance as teenager Sammy Fabelman, always looking for new equipment so he can make ever bigger movies with his friends. Michelle Williams is at the heart story as Sammy's nurturing mother, a talented pianist. She brings their household to life, a fact that Mr. Fabelman (Paul Dano), a computer engineer, finds as enchanting as it is disconcerting. Their family is completed by his adorable co-worker Benny (Seth Rogen), who becomes uncle to Sammy and his sisters, still with the Fabelmans.This unique combination of parental figures eventually becomes a source of tension with Sammy at the center, and it seeps into his creative work."< /p>
