Director Steven Spielberg will reportedly helm the religious period drama 'The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara' after he wraps up filming Ready Player One. Bridge of Spies star Mark Rylance is already set to star in the Amblin Entertainment project. The plot for the movie centers on a 6-year-old Jewish boy who, in 1858, was seized by the police and removed from his parents' home. He was raised as a Catholic and became a priest in the Augustinian order. In the film, Rylance will star as Pope Pius IX.
