The New York Post recently ran some gossip that Steven Spielberg's "Mossad" project was delayed due to concerns over terrorist threats to the production. Well, Spielberg Films has let it be known today that there is no truth in the Post's story regarding the film's delay, period. Steven Spielberg's spokesperson Marvin Levy cleared up the matter today with the following definitive truth:
"Thanks for checking with us. The NY Post story was wrong about the speculation about the delay. It is and has been the script pages which continue to get to Steven almost every day. That's the reason for the delay" Levy said. The Post story (along with many other sources) have also been calling the film "Vengeance", although it has been made clear a few times from DreamWorks that the project will not be specifically based on the George Jonas book "Vengeance" (although DreamWorks/Universal has optioned the rights to Jonas' book as it potentially is one of the contributing sources to the project).
Had the film made its original June start date for production, Mr. Levy told the site that the film may have been completed for a release this year, but as the start date has been pushed back to August, "we don't have a date and that will depend initially on when we start". So there you have it. Steven Spielberg is still working on the "Mossad" project as we speak.
Thanks to 'Steven'.
