Steven Spielberg’s next sci-fi thriller, Disclosure Day, has a debut trailer and a release date: June 12, 2026.
The mysterious new movie is created and directed by Hollywood legend Steven Spielberg, and stars Oppenheimer and A Quiet Place’s Emily Blunt as well as Josh O’Connor (Challengers, The Crown), Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, Kingsman franchise), Eve Hewson (Bad Sisters, The Perfect Couple), and Colman Domingo (Sing Sing, Rustin).
The trailer revolves around a shocking global secret that looks set to be revealed to the world’s public all at once. We see Emily Blunt struggle to deliver the weather report live on air, her voice slowly transforming into a creepy clicking noise. It sounds like this could be about aliens, but we don’t see any in the trailer.
What we do see are a lot of very concerned people doing strange things while hooked up to machines. Eyes change, and we see people perform actions using these machines that are then mirrored by others. Is this a movie about mind control? Meanwhile, we see a crop circle emerge in real time, and in one shot, a woman miraculously turns into Emily Blunt’s character.
It looks like Disclosure Day will deal with some big, existential questions normally reserved for philosophy debates. And there’s a clear religious theme here. The trailer asks: “Why would He make such a vast universe, yet save it only for us?” Well, perhaps in Disclosure Day, He didn’t.
The tagline is:
If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people.
We are coming close to … Disclosure Day.
David Koepp, whose previous work with Spielberg includes the scripts for Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, wrote the screenplay based on a story by Spielberg.
