The unique “Bullitt” film got here out in 1968, and Ford has stored the identify alive with varied Mustang releases over the previous 50 years. No different movies have been made because the first, however Hollywood is nothing if not nostalgic, so it must be no shock to listen to that Steven Spielberg is taking a shot at a brand new “Bullitt” film.

Steve McQueen impressed a era of stunt drivers together with his depiction of the San Francisco lawman and the film’s well-known chase scene. This time, Bradley Cooper will take the wheel. Selection reported that Warner Brothers was growing the movie and stated that the film can be fully totally different from the McQueen traditional. It’s anybody’s guess as to which vehicles we may see within the film, however there’s greater than a passing likelihood that Ford will cook dinner up a particular Mustang to commemorate the movie’s launch. The automaker created an upgraded automotive alongside the film within the late Nineteen Sixties and launched a brand new model in 2008 with GT500-inspired touches. A 3rd Mustang Bullitt returned for 2019, providing a center floor between the GT and Shelby GT350 fashions. It was revealed on the 2018 Detroit Auto Present alongside one of many authentic film vehicles that had been hidden away for many years. That automotive later bought at public sale for $3.74 million.

The subsequent-generation S650 Mustang is due for 2024, and Ford hasn’t detailed any particular editions outdoors of the Darkish Horse mannequin, so we may see a brand new Bullitt — or (gasp) a Mustang Mach-E Bullitt — someday quickly.
