Steven Spielberg is synonymous with science fiction, and he’s especially associated with sci-fi stories that feature aliens, but it’s actually been 20 years since the director of E.T. Next summer, however, he’s going back to basics with another tale of alien arrival, this time with a conspiracy twist. Disclosure Day stars Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor, and our first look at it is full of spectacular visuals and ominous quotes. Disclosure Day is based on a story by Spielberg, but is written by David Koepp, a renowned screenwriter best known for Jurassic Park. Spielberg hasn’t directed an alien movie since 2005’s War of the Worlds, which is looking better by the year thanks to the classic story’s latest and worst remake yet.
