Steven Spielberg thinks his latest alien film is his most realistic alien movie yet.<\/p>\n
The director explained in a new interview how he dove into \u201cDisclosure Day\u201d looking to make it more factually accurate to aliens arriving on Earth than his iconic films \u201cET\u201d or \u201cClose Encounters of the Third Kind,\u201d calling his latest film a \u201csummation\u201d of his work in the genre.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I think it\u2019s a departure from both \u2018ET\u2019 and \u2018Close Encounters of the Third Kind,\u2019 which could both fall into the fantasy category, or into what I call science speculation with \u2018Close Encounters\u2019 as opposed to just pure sci-fi,\u201d Spielberg said. \u201cBut I got very, very interested in this subject when people who were in the know \u2013 people in the Air Force, Navy pilots, people in Congress \u2013 when they all started talking about this after the New York Times in 2017 leaked the Tic Tac footage that we\u2019ve all heard about and seen.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cI got really interested in this not as a science fiction film, but as a kind of summation for me as a filmmaker in this genre that includes both of the aforementioned films. And so I took this subject very seriously because it\u2019s something that I think is closer to fact than fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDisclosure Day\u201d stars Emily Blunt, Josh O\u2019Connor, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell and Colin Firth and follows a whistleblower revealing the true existence of aliens and how it affects the globe.<\/p>\n
It is the first Spielberg film to land in theaters since 2022\u2019s \u201cThe Fablemans,\u201d and early reactions<\/a> point to the film being worth the wait \u2013 with praise rolling in for both the director and Blunt\u2019s performance in particular.<\/p>\n Spielberg has been on something of a hot streak with \u201cWest Side Story\u201d and \u201cThe Fabelmans\u201d gaining back-to-back critical acclaim (and Best Picture nominations). TheWrap\u2019s own Drew Taylor concurred the widespread praise<\/a> for \u201cDisclosure Day\u201d with this assessment, saying, \u201cI can\u2019t remember the last time I loved a Spielberg movie as much as #DisclosureDay.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThrilling, funny, deeply emotional and impeccably acted (Emily Blunt, in particular, is astounding),\u201d Taylor continued. \u201cFull of mystery and wonder, it proves that nobody does it quite like Spielberg. Just great.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDisclosure Day\u201d premieres in theaters on June 12.<\/p>\n The post Steven Spielberg Thinks \u2018Disclosure Day\u2019 Is His Most Realistic Alien Movie Yet: \u2018Closer to Fact Than Fiction\u2019 | Video<\/a> appeared first on TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steven Spielberg thinks his latest alien film is his most realistic alien movie yet.
