Eve Hewson 'in talks' to star in new Steven Spielberg film
The upcoming film would mark the second collaboration between the Irish actress and the legendary Hollywood filmmaker
Irish actress Eve Hewson is reportedly in talks to star in the new film from Hollywood legend Steven Spielberg.
Hewson recently appeared alongside Nicole Kidman and Dakota Fanning in Netflix's star-studded murder mystery series, The Perfect Couple, while she is also set to return for Season 2 of Sharon Horgan's acclaimed Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters.
The Dubliner could be adding another exciting project to her growing resume, with Deadline reporting that the 33-year-old is in 'early talks' to star in an upcoming untitled event film set to be directed by Steven Spielberg.

This project would mark a reunion for Hewson and Spielberg, who previously collaborated on the 2015 drama Bridge of Spies.
Spielberg's new "event movie" is scheduled for release in May 2026 and will reportedly star Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, and Oscar winner Colin Firth.
It’s unclear what the untitled project is about — Universal Pictures describes it as a “new original event film” — though it was already reported to be a “UFO” film.
The film is based on a story by Spielberg with a screenplay by David Koepp, a frequent Spielberg collaborator, who also wrote the scripts for Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
The news comes after Hewson recently revealed that considered quitting acting following a "bad experience" on the set of a film she has not named.
The Irish actress explained that she still has a "love-hate relationship" with the job, which she felt "most actors" had.
She told the Radio Times: "I had a bad experience on a film and I thought, what's the point of this?
"I don't want to put myself in a position where I'm being constantly treated like shit. I think most actors have moments like that. It's a love-hate relationship with the job." She did not reveal the title of the film project.
