Steven Spielberg is back in action with a new movie, “Disclosure Day.”
Has the legendary director drawn inspiration from the Midwest?
A plot synopsis for Disclosure Day hasn’t been released, with the studio describing it only as a “new original event film” and listing the genre as “thriller.” The first look at the film, unveiled Tuesday, Dec. 16, offers few details but appears to indicate it is about the existence of some sort of alien life being revealed to the world, said USA Today.
The footage also hints that the story may be set in Kansas City — or at least feature a scene there. Kansas or Missouri? We might have to wait until summer to find out.
What does the teaser show?
The trailer opens with the question: “If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you. Would that frighten you?”
Emily Blunt is then shown delivering a Weather 4 Kansas City Forecast on television, cheerfully saying, “Good morning, Kansas City!” before she begins to stammer and produce strange, alien-like clicking sounds.
The footage also features a character played by Josh O’Connor declaring, “People have a right to know the truth” and that he is planning for “full disclosure, to the whole world, all at once.” He is later shown standing in what appears to be a crop circle, said USA Today.
Colin Firth, Colman Domingo and Eve Hewson also star in “Disclosure Day,” which marks Spielberg’s first new movie as a director since his Oscar-nominated, semi-autobiographical 2022 drama “The Fabelmans.”
Return to aliens for Spielberg
The film marks a return to a familiar subject for Spielberg: aliens, a theme he previously explored in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” “War of the Worlds” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”
In recent years, Spielberg has generally been more focused on adult-oriented dramas released during awards season, including “Bridge of Spies” and “The Post,” though he came back to sci-fi with his 2018 blockbuster “Ready Player One.”
Spielberg’s most recent film, “The Fabelmans,” was the story of an aspiring movie director who discovers a shattering family secret. The movie, which was heavily based on Spielberg’s own life, received seven Oscar nominations, including best picture.
When is the release date of ‘Disclosure Day’?
“Disclosure Day” is set to hit theaters on June 12, 2026.
