Steven Spielberg is avoiding indulging in too much pre-release publicity for his upcoming Munich, insisting that audiences should be allowed to "make up their own minds".
Telling the story of the Isreali response to the slaughter of their athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics by Palestinians, this week the film has been shown to leaders of Jewish and Muslim groups ahead of its release. Prior to this week, only director Spielberg, co-producer Kathleen Kennedy and co-writer Tony Kushner had seen the movie.
The director's publicist Marvin Levy told Reuters: "He didn't want to talk to anybody until people had a chance to see the film. He said, 'Let me make the movie, and then we'll show the movie, and everyone can make up their own minds.'"
Starring Eric Bana, Geoffrey Rush and future Bond Daniel Craig, Munich will be released in the US on December 23.
