Filmmaker Steven Spielberg may have already captured audience's imaginations at TIFF where the world premiere of his new film The Fabelmans was held, but he's now drawn the ire of PETA specifically because of the movie. As noticed by SlashFilm, the animal rights group issued a statement in response to the first trailer for Spielberg's new movie, taking issue with the film's apparent use of an actual monkey in one scene.
"Steven Spielberg was imaginative enough to create a lovable alien in 1982 and followed that up with herds of realistic computer-generated dinosaurs in the 1990s, so what's his excuse for dragging a real monkey onto a film set in 2022?" primatologist and PETA Foundation Director of Captive Animal Welfare Debbie Metzler said in a statement."His mother might have 'needed a laugh,' but PETA's not laughing-and neither should anyone else who cares about animals.
PETA's press release on the matter denotes that monkeys used in film and TV productions"are typically separated from their mothers at a young age" and sometimes are coerced with violence by trainers. Considering The Fabelmans has already screened publicly, it seems unlikely the scene has been removed by the filmmaker .
The Fabelmans is loosely inspired by Spielberg's own life, and stars Gabriel LaBelle as 16-year-old aspiring filmmaker Sammy Fabelman. The cast also includes four-time Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams as his artistic mother, Mitzi; Paul Dano as his successful scientific father, Burt; Seth Rogen as Bennie Loewy, Burt's best friend and honorary"uncle," and Academy Award nominee Judd Hirsch as Mitzi's Uncle Boris.
