Coming off Oscar contender The Post and the upcoming Ready Player One book-to-movie adaptation, director Steven Spielberg has reportedly begun searching for his next project(s).

According to Deadline's sources, the legendary director is eyeing a new Indiana Jones. Although Spielberg's camp offered no comment on his plans, it was revealed back in 2015 that he originally eyed Jurassic World star Chris Pratt to be "a central part of the franchise relaunch," alongside Harrison Ford. Disney currently owns the rights to the Indiana Jones franchise, which they obtained back in 2012 alongside Star Wars when they acquired Lucasfilm. Disney has currently slotted a new Indy film for July 10, 2020.

In addition to directing a new Indiana Jones, Steven Spielberg is also said to be eyeing his "dream project," a new version of West Side Story. Tony Kushner, who is a frequent collaborator with Spielberg, is reportedly working on the script.

In the meantime, Spielberg fans can check out his latest work as The Post is currently in theaters. Ready Player One hits theaters March 30, 2018.
