Steven Spielberg Drops First Trailer for His Mysterious UFO Movie with Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor — People highlights the trailer release and cast
Disclosure Day is Steven Spielberg’s upcoming science-fiction film that marks his return to extraterrestrial storytelling — the genre that made classics like E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind iconic.
Director: Steven Spielberg
Story/Screenplay: Spielberg (story) & David Koepp (screenplay)
Release Date: June 12, 2026 (theatrical)
Cast Includes: Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell and more.
Music by: John Williams — continuing his long-running collaboration with Spielberg.
First Trailer
The first trailer dropped on December 16/17, 2025, revealing a mysterious and atmospheric sci-fi thriller that teases humanity’s encounter with the unknown.
Highlights from the trailer include:
Eerie setup: A Kansas City TV meteorologist (Emily Blunt) begins to act strangely on live air, hinting at forces beyond our understanding.
Intriguing themes: Lines like “If you found out we weren’t alone… would that frighten you?” and “The truth belongs to seven billion people” suggest the film explores not just alien life, but how the world responds to undeniable proof of it.
Josh O’Connor’s character appears determined to reveal the truth to the world, while mysterious symbols, crop-circle imagery and unsettling moments build tension.
The teaser leans into mystery and atmosphere rather than big spectacle — we get more questions than answers, which seems intentional to spark curiosity ahead of its summer release.
Buzz and Context
The trailer’s release was preceded by cryptic billboards in major cities with the tagline “All will be disclosed — Spielberg 06.12.26,” amping up excitement and speculation. Fans and media outlets are already calling Disclosure Day one of the most anticipated films of 2026, especially among sci-fi and Spielberg enthusiasts, noting that it’s the director’s first new movie in years and a return to one of his signature genres.
What Makes It Special
This project feels like a Spielberg signature because:
It’s an original idea from Spielberg, not an adaptation. It ties into classic Spielberg themes — wonder, fear, and humanity’s place in a larger universe. The ensemble cast and John Williams score add to its cinematic prestige.
