Steven Spielberg’s First Sci-Fi Movie in 8 Years Gets a Stunning New Look at the Super Bowl

Steven Spielberg has achieved legendary status as a director, with his influence in the world of filmmaking spanning more than 50 years. He began his career in 1975 with what many would argue is still his most famous film, Jaws, which returned to theaters last year to celebrate its 50th anniversary. He’s also responsible for some other influential sci-fi hits over the years, including E.T., and he’s even one of the masterminds behind Harrison Ford’s legendary Indiana Jones franchise. Spielberg may be almost 80 years old, but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to stop delivering great movies to the public.

It was announced back in 2024 that Spielberg was working on a new sci-fi movie, but details about the project were being held under wraps at that time. Throughout 2024 and 2025, Spielberg meticulously assembled the film’s cast, including Emily Blunt, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell, and others. It wasn’t until the second half of 2025 that Universal Pictures officially announced the film’s title, Disclosure Day, and confirmed it would be released in theaters on June 12. Plot specifics are still scarce at this time, but marketing for the film is finally picking up.

Universal Pictures officially released a new trailer for Disclosure Day during the Super Bowl, and it’s racking up thousands of views by the minute. It’s still difficult to predict exactly what Disclosure Day is about, but trailers and promotional material for the film show off a plot that leans into humans learning about alien life for the first time. There are still a few months remaining before disclosure day, but intrigue for Spielberg’s next film is as high as it’s ever been.

Who Wrote the Script for ‘Disclosure Day’?

David Koepp, Steven Spielberg’s longtime collaborative partner, wrote the script for his new sci-fi thriller, Disclosure Day. Koepp and Spielberg worked together on the first Jurassic Park movie back in the 90s, and Koepp even returned to the franchise last year to write the script for the latest franchise installment starring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, Jurassic World: Rebirth. Spielberg was also credited as a producer on the film. Koepp also wrote the script for Pierce Brosnan’s latest spy thriller with Michael Fassbender, Black Bag, which was released in theaters at the start of 2025.
