The Fabelmans poster gives us a preview of the cast including Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, and Seth Rogen as it teases some of the film’s main highlights that introduce the titular family.

The film will be led by Oscar nominee Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine), Paul Dano (The Batman), Seth Rogen (This Is the End), and Julia Butters (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), who have set for roles inspired by Spielberg’s mother, father, favorite uncle, and sister, respectively. Meanwhile, Gabriel LaBelle is set to portray the leading role of Sammy Fabelman, inspired by the E.T. and Indiana Jones filmmaker.

The Fabelmans is loosely inspired by Spielberg’s childhood in Arizona which the director has often cited as a major inspiration for his films. Growing up in an Orthodox Jewish family has been the subject that the director often goes back and pays homage to through his work.
