Speaking at a Q&A session during the Camerimage International Film Festival in Toruń, north-central Poland, Kamiński said filming was due to begin next year.
No title or cast have yet been announced.
Kamiński told The Hollywood Reporter that he was already imagining the film’s landscape, drawing on the surroundings of the region where he grew up.
He said an area in the Sudetes Mountains in southwestern Poland "looked like parts of Montana," with "beautiful, rolling hills."
"The lay of the land, the snow on the ground, the fog—all these elements exist in America too, but those who shoot American movies tend to come from somewhere else, and we see these same things differently," Kamiński said, as quoted by the magazine.
"That’s why there’s room in this profession for men and women from different countries who bring different aesthetics to American movies," he added.
Kamiński received The Hollywood Reporter’s 2026 THR Visionary Award during the opening ceremony of the Camerimage festival.
The magazine described him as "a leading visionary in modern cinematography" and "one of Hollywood’s greatest cinematographers, who changed the way audiences experience cinema."
In an in-depth profile, the magazine wrote that "few partnerships in modern cinema have shaped the look of the movies as profoundly as that of Steven Spielberg and Janusz Kamiński."
Kamiński won Academy Awards for best cinematography for his work on Spielberg’s Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan.
Both films were included on the American Society of Cinematographers' list of the best-photographed films of the 20th century.
The magazine also praised Kamiński’s distinctive visual style, writing that "every Kamiński film is beautiful, but not one of them looks the same," and that his choice of lenses and colours "matches the story being told."
Kamiński moved to the United States in 1981, leaving Poland as a political refugee at the age of 23.
