Now, at last, we finally know the name of the film - Disclosure Day.

Starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo and Eve Hewson, the film's plot is based on a story by Spielberg himself with a screenplay penned by David Koepp.

It is due to be released on June 12th, 2026.Some of Spielberg's earliest blockbusters also happened to have a distinctly otherworldly vibe.

His 1977 movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, for instance, explored themes such as UFOs, alien abductions and formal contact with a benevolent extraterrestrial civilization.

This theme of aliens being friendly would be further explored in Spielberg's 1982 movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which followed the story of a young boy who befriends an alien stranded on Earth.

For many people who grew up in the 70s and 80s, these movies hold great nostalgia even today.

Whether Disclosure Day will also go down in history as one of his best films, remains to be seen.
