Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day is probably the most anticipated film of the year (premiering this summer on June 12), and during the Super Bowl a new trailer for the film dropped, giving us a whole heap of new details from the storyline, including our first glimpse of what appears to be an alien saucer (right at the end):
And the day after the Super Bowl trailer dropped, Universal Pictures also posted a short ‘Inside Look’ at the film’s topic, with the legendary director himself talking about his own interest in the phenomenon. “I’ve always been fascinated with things that cannot be explained,” Spielberg confessed, “and I’ve made a lot of movies about things that cannot be explained.”
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.
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?” And if someone knows we’re not alone, why haven’t we been told?
(The little aside about “in our realities” makes me wonder whether the new film might venture into the altered states of consciousness aspect of UFO sightings and alien abduction literature…)
Spielberg talked in more detail about his fascination with UFOs three years ago in an interview with Stephen Colbert, in which he clarified that he wouldn’t call himself a true believer as he hasn’t experienced a UFO sighting himself, but was very interested in all the recent UFO news coming out and “that there is something going on that’s not being disclosed to us” – in retrospect, perhaps giving a hint to Colbert about his next big film project.
