It seems that Steven Spielberg is not the only director focusing his efforts on a film about alien disclosure.
Hot on the heels of recent news about Spielberg's upcoming UFO movie
Disclosure Day, reports have suggested that Joseph Kosinski - the man behind recent hits such as
Top Gun: Maverick - is also working on a new movie on a similar theme.
The new untitled film, which is being developed alongside a reboot of
Miami Vice, remains steeped in mystery right now, but what we do know is that it will have something to do with government whistleblowers and the UFO phenomenon.
It may have even been inspired by real-life whistleblowers such as David Grusch.
The former National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, who held top-level clearance at the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, entered the public eye back in 2023 when he made the startling claim that the US government had long been in possession of "intact and partially intact vehicles of non-human origin".
He later appeared at the subcommittee hearing on UFOs at the US House of Representatives where, citing "extensive interviews with high-level intelligence officials", he maintained that "non-human biologics" had been found at some of these crash sites and claimed that people had been "harmed or injured" as a result of government efforts to conceal this information.
All things considered - this would certainly make a good basis for a movie.
"We're working with two people who are at the very center of the topic," Kosinski said when quizzed about the film. "So, you know, the conversations with them are just fascinating."
"It's a very exciting project, and trying to get that ready as soon as possible."
He also noted that the movie will be less about fantasy and more about representing the realities that we now face with regard to the topic.
No doubt we'll hear more about it in the coming months.
