Screenwriter Tony Kushner has compared filmmaker Steven Spielberg to famous writer Charles Dickens.
The 60-year-old American screenwriter worked with Spielberg on 2005 film "Munich" and 2012's "Lincoln"and the pair have reunited to make "The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara," an adaptation of David Kertzer's 1997 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, reported Female First.
"The reason I want to keep working with Steven is that he is always surprising me. I think it is not an exaggeration to compare him to Dickens - there is a narrative genius there, which isn't a word I use very often," Kushner said.
"The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara" is scheduled for release in 2017 and revolves around the kidnapping of a young Jewish boy in Bologna, Italy, in 1858.
