Making The Film
Spielberg was inspired by Keneally's novel upon its release and convinced Universal Pictures to acquire the rights. The project was first conceived in 1983, yet Spielberg held off directing it himself, due to his insecurity about making a film based on the Holocaust. Roman Polanski and Sydney Pollack were offered the chance to direct and Martin Scorsese and Billy Wilder expressed interest as well.Eventually, Spielberg agreed to direct the film, under Universal chief Sid Sheinberg's condition that he make Jurassic Park first.
