Steven Spielberg, the father of the blockbuster movie, hit the biggest TV event of the year with a new look at Disclosure Day, his return to high-concept filmmaking.
The feature follows what happens to the world when it is revealed that we are not alone in the universe. Per the longline: “If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people. We are coming close to … Disclosure Day.”
It is a return to the UFO genre for Spielberg, whose earlier work includes 1977’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial and War of the Worlds.
The cast for Disclosure Day is led by Emily Blunt and also includes Josh O’Connor, Colman Domingo, Colin Firth, Wyatt Russell and Eve Hewson. Screenwriter David Koepp penned the script based on a story by Spielberg. The pair previously worked together on Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds.
The first trailer for the film bowed in December along with screenings of Avatar: Fire and Ash and followed billboard teases around Los Angeles and New York, saying that “all will be disclosed.”
The fresh look at Disclosure Day comes a week after Spielberg won his first Grammy, landing the honor for producing the Music by John Williams film. That win officially landed him in the rarified air of the EGOT, following Oscar, Tony and Emmy wins.
The 2026 Super Bowl, a battle between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, airs on NBC and streams on Peacock, the service owned by Disclosure Day studio Universal.
