Production of Steven Spielberg's long awaited 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist movie "Vengeance" starts filming in Hungary this June according to Moziplussz. The film follows a Mossad agent (Eric Bana), who tracks Palestinian terrorists who assassinated Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Pre-production already and secretly began in Budapest. Daniel Crag also stars in the project currently slated for a Christmas release although that's likely to be pushed back. Spielberg is expected to start on Indiana Jones 4 after completing this project.
Meanwhile, Spike Lee starts "Save Us Joe Louis" - his long-planned film on boxer Joe Louis - immediately after completing "Inside Man". Lee and Budd Schulberg have been writing the Joe Louis project for around five years and it covers the story of the two Louis-Max Schmeling championship bouts (1936 & 1938) and the global ramifications.
Lee told columnist Army Archerd that the characters involved in the pic will include FDR, Hitler, Mussolini and Sugar Ray Robinson for starters, adding co-scribe Schulberg was on hand for the 1938 fight.
