It’s one thing to have a dedication to realism when covering a historical time period like World War II, but it’s almost antithetical when covering a theoretical future. Not for Steven Spielberg! Before making Minority Report, Spielberg decided to host an ‘Idea Summit’ with futurists, consulting them to portray a plausible and realistic vision of the future. If most directors would have probably let their imaginations run wild, Spielberg opted for realism—making Minority Report all the better for it.

The Fabelmans
