Disclosure Day: Spielberg’s Empathetic Look at UFOs, Cinema, and the Future

To the point

Steven Spielberg says Disclosure Day is a thoughtful, empathy-driven film that leans toward science-fiction in spirit, inspired by real-world UFO discussions, created with David Koepp, featuring Emily Blunt and the character Joshua Connor, designed to spark conversation and invite repeat viewings, while reaffirming his belief in cinema as a communal experience and fueling his dream of directing a Western with Harrison Ford.

Steven Spielberg: 'Disclosure Day' isn't science fiction | AP interview

Steven Spielberg's “Disclosure Day" returns Hollywood’s preeminent big-screen craftsman to one of his most abiding questions: Are we alone? Coming nearly half a century after “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “Disclosure Day” is a grand bookend for one of the most cosmically-minded moviemakers of our time, whose dreams of extraterrestrial life have shaped all of ours. But while Spielberg grants his 1977 film was “speculative,” “Disclosure Day,” he insists, is the real deal. The 79-year-old director sat down with AP film writer Jake Coyle to discuss UAPs, empathy, Froot Loops and Westerns. #spielberg #stevenspielberg #aliens #disclosureday
