Steven Spielberg’s First Original Sci-Fi in Years: “Disclosure Day” Teaser Reveals Emily Blunt’s Chilling Alien Encounter

“If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?”

This is the question posed in the opening seconds of the first glimpse at Steven Spielberg’s upcoming Disclosure Day, his first original sci-fi thriller in years, which he directed from a script he co-wrote with Jurassic Park scribe David Koepp. From the unsettling opening question, we’re taken into a television studio in Kansas City, where things get deeply, unsettlingly bizarre. Emily Blunt’s meteorologist is about to report on the day’s weather when she finds herself unable to speak, and what comes out of her mouth next is certainly no language humanity has ever heard, but it resonates on some deeper, elemental level. This sounds like the language of a species not from our planet.

We then meet Josh O’Connor’s character, who seems to know a thing or two more about what’s going on. His plan is to reveal to the world what’s really going on. “Full disclosure,” he says, “all at once.” That means seven billion people learning the truth. But what is the truth?

Such is the setup for Disclosure Day, which, this being a Spielberg event film, features an incredible ensemble cast. Joining Blunt and O’Connor are Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo (Sing Sing, Rustin).

“Why would he make such a vast universe?” a nun asks in the closing seconds of the teaser, “and save it only for us?” This is not a bad question, and we’re guessing that Spielberg will have an answer for us next summer.

Check out the first teaser for Disclosure Day, which lands in theaters on June 12, 2026.
