Kushner: Co-writing ‘The Fabelmans’ with Spielberg the most enjoyable experience

TONY Kushner says that cowriting ‘The Fabelmans’ with Steven Spielberg was the most enjoyable experience of his career.

The 66-year-old screenwriter has worked with the iconic director to pen the script for the semi-autobiographical project that is loosely based on Spielberg’s upbringing and has relished the process.

Tony told Collider: “I mean, it is literally co-written. We sat on a Zoom three days a week, four hours a day from October to December in

2020, and we wrote the first draft.

“I had written an 81-page sort of gathering up of all of his memories that he had told me, and trying to string them together as a narrative, with characters and with specific characters and stuff, as a way of just starting.

“Then we took that, and we boiled that down into an outline, for what looked like it could be a feature-length film.”
