In the build-up to his next directorial venture, Disclosure Day, which once again deals with extraterrestrial beings, Steven Spielberg has shared his views on whether the concept of aliens is fact or myth. The visionary filmmaker, who is currently occupied with promoting his upcoming film, revealed that he has always been fascinated by what’s out there and believes it for certain that humans aren’t alone in this universe.
Steven Spielberg is convinced ‘there is life off this planet’
The multiple Academy Award-winner opened up about the much-discussed topic of aliens, establishing that their existence is a much more probable outcome.
In a recently released Disclosure Day featurette, Steven Spielberg started off by highlighting how unique his filmography is. He noted, “I’ve always been fascinated with things that cannot be explained. And I’ve made a lot of movies about things that can’t be explained, from sharks to saucers.”
Spielberg then switched to the topic of aliens, which will also serve as the basis of his upcoming movie, Disclosure Day. “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 said.
The Jaws director added, “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?”
Similar to humans’ knowledge about aliens, not much is known regarding the plot of Steven Spielberg’s forthcoming feature. Regardless, the movie features a star-studded cast, including Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell, and Elizabeth Marvel, among others.
Disclosure Day is currently on track to hit theaters on June 12, 2026.
