Steven Spielberg, Sam Mendes join hands for 'The Voyeur's Motel'

Steven Spielberg has recently joined hands with Sam Mendes for the big-screen adaptation of 'The Voyeur's Motel.'

It is being reported that the 69-year-old director will produce while the 50-year-old stage director will direct the movie based on Gay Talese's upcoming novel, reports News24.com.

The novel narrates the true-life story of a man, who opened his own hotel in order to spy on his guests having sex.

Colorado resident Gerald Foos bought the 21-room motel almost 50 years ago in Denver and made a number of modifications to the rooms so that he could spy on guests from the attic.

He also kept detailed notes about what he saw, including extra-marital affairs and even an alleged murder. He reached out to Talese via letter and the author visited him at his motel in 1980 to find out more about him.

The novel will get published on July 12.
