“I’ve always been fascinated with things that cannot be explained, and I’ve made a lot of movies about things that could not be explained, from sharks to saucers,” the director, 79, says in a behind-the-scenes video<\/a> shared by Universal Pictures on Monday, Feb. 9.<\/p>\n “When I was just a little kid I remember developing a real curiosity about the sky at night and what’s happening up there, and also not the possibility but the guarantee that there is life off this planet,” he says.<\/p>\n The famed director first unveiled footage from the new movie, which stars Emily Blunt<\/a>,\u00a0Josh O’Connor<\/a>,\u00a0Colin Firth<\/a>,\u00a0Eve Hewson<\/a> and Colman Domingo<\/a>\u00a0in a teaser trailer in December.<\/p>\n In April 2024, Variety<\/a> reported that Spielberg was developing a UFO film based on his own original idea with screenwriter David Koepp, who wrote 1993’s\u00a0Jurassic Park and 2005’s\u00a0War of the Worlds. <\/p>\n “People’s questions about what is not only going on in our skies but what is going on in our worlds, in our realities, has reached a critical mass of people’s complete fascination with: are we alone, or are we not alone?” Spielberg says in the new clip, which also features footage from the movie. “And if someone knows we’re not alone, why have we not been told?”<\/p>\n Universal Pictures\/Youtube<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n Spielberg made a name for himself in Hollywood through directing sci-fi hits that dealt with the existence of aliens, like\u00a0Close Encounters of the Third Kind and\u00a0E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, plus War of the Worlds and Jurassic Park, among others, also deal with seemingly impossible situations like alien invasions and the resurrection of dinosaurs.<\/p>\n The director, who recently achieved EGOT status<\/a> when he won a Grammy for Best Music Film on Feb. 1, appears to be revisiting his childhood once more with his new movie. Spielberg’s last movie, The Fabelmans, was a semi-autobiographical film inspired by his own upbringing, and it received\u00a0seven Oscar nominations<\/a>.<\/p>\n Disclosure Day’s story has not yet been publicly revealed, but the movie seems to at least partially revolve around official confirmation regarding the existence of aliens on and off Earth. <\/p>\n “If you found out we weren\u2019t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?” a logline for the film reads. “This summer, the truth belongs to 7 billion people. We are coming close to \u2026 Disclosure Day.”<\/p>\n Disclosure Day\u00a0is in theaters June 12.<\/p>\n![\"Emily](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/f487678343aebc1cec70dfdf65fbcfd0.jpeg\"\/)
