The Fabelmans poster presents a cinematic walk down Memory Lane for Spielberg’s next emotional epic

Before Steven Spielberg‘s The Fabelmans comes to the Toronto International Film Festival, it’s time for the PR machine to work its magic with a new promo for the film. The Fabelmans poster looks stylishly at Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical feature, presenting a series of stills captured on film reels. If you look closely, you can see footage of Paul Dano’s Burt Fabelman, Seth Rogen’s Benny, Gabriel LaBelle as Sammy Fabelman, Julia Butters as Anne Fabelman, and Michelle Williams as Leah Fabelman. The images depict different stages of Sammy’s journey toward discovering his love of film.

The Fabelmans, set in post-war Arizona, centers on a young man’s discovery of a shattering family secret and an exploration of the power of movies to help us see the truth about each other and ourselves. Jeannie Berlin, Robin Bartlett, Keeley Karsten, and Judd Hirsch also star in the drama written by Spielberg and Tony Kushner. David Lynch, Mateo Zoryon Francis-DeFord, Birdie Borria, Alina Brace, Sophia Kopera, Oakes Fegley, Sam Rechner, Chloe East, Jonathan Hadary, and Isabelle Kusman make up the rest of the cast.

The story of The Fabelmans is based on Spielberg’s family and upbringing, giving fans of the iconic filmmaker a loose interpretation of his early days. Until a trailer for the film drops, The Fabelmans poster presents a clear window into the actor’s transformations into their respective characters. The reels also feature a soothing sepia tone, giving each frame a nostalgic, sun-drenched look.

I’m excited to check this movie out. Spielberg is a legend, and I think the semi-autobiographical approach to the material is unique and exciting. What do you think about the concept of The Fabelmans? Are you stoked about getting a cinematic look into Spielberg’s early days? How closely do you think the film will mirror actual events? Let us know in the comments section.

The Fabelmans will come to TIFF on Saturday, September 10, and play in select theaters on November 11. The film will also get a wide release in theaters everywhere on Thanksgiving.
