If last night’s Disclosure Day Super Bowl spot left you wanting more, director Steven Spielberg shares some insight in the new featurette below.
“I’ve always been fascinated with things that cannot be explained, and I’ve made a lot of movies about things that cannot be explained — from sharks to saucers,” Spielberg notes.
He continues, “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 peoples’ 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 mysterious sci-fi spectacle invades theaters and IMAX on June 12 from Universal.
Plot details are being kept under wraps beyond the vague synopsis: “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 (Jurassic Park, Spider-Man) penned the script, based on a story by Spielberg.
Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place), Josh O’Connor (Wake Up Dead Man), Colin Firth (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Eve Hewson (Bridge of Spies), Colman Domingo (The Running Man), and Wyatt Russell (“Monarch: Legacy of Monsters”) star.
Spielberg reunites with several frequent collaborators, including cinematographer Janusz Kaminski (Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List), production designer Adam Stockhausen (Ready Player One, West Side Story), editors Michael Kahn (Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark) and Sarah Broshar (Ready Player One, The Fabelmans), and composer John Williams (Jaws, Jurassic Park).
Spielberg produces for Amblin Entertainment alongside Kristie Macosko Krieger (Ready Player One, The Fabelmans). Adam Somner (Ready Player One, Bridge of Spies) and Chris Brigham (Inception, Shutter Island) executive produce.
