Steven Spielberg premiered a new trailer at CinemaCon on Wednesday for “Disclosure Day,” his return to summer blockbuster filmmaking after a decade mostly spent making personal dramas (“The Fabelmans”) and prestige fare (“West Side Story”).
The film’s plot has been shrouded in secrecy, but it involves visitors from another planet and a vast government conspiracy to cover up their arrival. It’s a genre that has been good to Spielberg over the years, inspiring classics such as “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and hits like his remake of “War of the Worlds.”...
“I’ve been curious ever since I was a little kid with what was happening in the night sky,” Spielberg said...
“The world became more accepting of the fact that we probably are not alone,” Spielberg said. The director’s certainty that intelligent life is out there has only grown in the nearly 50 years between the release of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “Disclosure Day.”
At CinemaCon, Motion Picture Association CEO Charlie Rivkin presented a visibly emotional Spielberg with a “one-time honor, the America 250 award,” which was followed by a conversation... It marks Spielberg’s first visit to the exhibition industry trade show.
“I promise you this will not be my last,” Spielberg promised after receiving a standing ovation...
Spielberg stressed that studios like Universal need to keep investing in original films like “Disclosure Day” instead of reboots, sequels and spinoffs.
“If all we make is known, branded IP, we’re going to run out of gas,” Spielberg said. “There is nothing more important than giving the audience visual stories, and they can be in any form, but we need to tell more original stories.”

Just figuring this out Stevie Boy?
Sorry, Steven. Hollywood is hell-bent on destroying original films with reboots and sequels decades after the fact.
Spielberg, who basically lifted the series “Sword of Gideon” for his “Munich” movie.
The original title of "Disclosure Day" was "Indian Jones and The Little Green Men."
The film’s plot has been shrouded in secrecy, but it involves visitors from another planet and a vast government conspiracy to cover up their arrival.
= = =
This is a take off from visitors from another country and a vast democrat conspiracy to cover up their arrival.
Tooooooooo Late
This was needed at least 30 years ago, may be too late.
The endless reboots and remakes that make no sense whatsoever.
Example another remake of Miami Vice as a movie. The previous one was terrible, they will never find the chemistry that Johnson and Thomas had 40 years ago.
I actually find more original steaming stuff that is way better than what is at the theaters. Which is a major reason the movie experience is dying, off course Covid helped kill that.

He wants to make woke nonsense like the rest of Hollywood but realizes he can't sell it.
Meanwhile my certainty of intelligent life here on Earth has shrunk in the last fifty years.
And what's with the bright blue eyes of the people in the movie poster? Unidentified Flying Aryans? Paul Newman from Outer Space?

Steaming stuff? Is that a Freudian slip or a commentary on the quality of modern entertainment?
The charm is gone Mr Spielberg. Modern Hollywood movies are to creative literary masters and a few computers, as silent movies were to talkies.
Smart writers no longer need the incredibly costly, bulky production monstrosities that have ruined modern Hollywood.
Go away Mr. Spielberg and take your choreographed chaotic scenes, and your flying sparks with you.
I honestly can’t remember the last good movie I watched. I got Netflix, and Amazon prime, and I find myself just watching documentaries lately because everything has been garbage. The movies specifically made by Netflix lately have been absolute utter trash, even with a list celebrities playing in them.
Leave the World Behind.
Creepy and effective

Hey! You got something against UFAs? ;-)
Um yeah...real fresh idea there Steve-O:
Wont matter
I left them decades ago, not ever coming back
They could remake Beau Geste again. It’s only been remade three times vs say Dracula or A Christmas Carol which have been remade seemingly every year.
It’s tough to be a writer.
And it paled in comparison to the 1961 version. I cant believe the rave reviews it mostly got when his version was released. More than just paled in comparison. It was awful.
