Spielberg pulls rabbit out of hat with Harvey remake
Film | guardian.co.uk — ... The story centres on Elwood P Dowd (Stewart), a middle-aged, amiable eccentric whose friendship with an imaginary 6ft 3½in tall rabbit named Harvey results in a comedy of errors when his sister tries to have him committed.

I’ve also seen Will Smith’s name floated for it (he’s maybe a bit young for the part, still), but ...

The original Jimmy Stewart version is one of my absolute ...
