Steven Spielberg talks aliens in 'Disclosure Day' final trailer
- Universal Pictures released the final trailer for Disclosure Day on Wednesday, with director Steven Spielberg narrating his belief in extraterrestrial life as tickets went on sale for the June 12 release.
- Spielberg's return to sci-fi comes as the Pentagon released declassified UAP documents and Navy pilot footage, with the director saying the current cultural moment directly inspired the film, echoing 1977's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
- Spielberg stated, "I am much more inclined now than I was when I made Close Encounters to really believe that we're not the only intelligent civilization in the universe." Emily Blunt plays a Kansas City meteorologist channeling alien language; Josh O'Connor portrays a government whistleblower.
- Critics hailed the film as Spielberg's finest work in 20 years; Slashfilm's Bill Bria praised Emily Blunt's "most accomplished performance" and "John Williams' best score in years," while Tessa Smith called it "thrilling, funny, deeply emotional and impeccably acted."
- The trailer reveals aliens on screen for the first time, bearing striking resemblance to Close Encounters creatures, alongside crop circles, Area 51 references and unnaturally staring animals, though the entire third act remains hidden from marketing with the logline: "the truth belongs to seven billion people.
