Universal Pictures has released one last trailer for Disclosure Day, director Steven Spielberg’s hotly anticipated return to his “aliens are among us” summer blockbuster roots. And the director features prominently, offering his thoughts on the existence of aliens in between footage from the film.
Per the official logline: “If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to 7 billion people. We are coming close to… Disclosure Day.”
David Koepp, who has worked with Spielberg on numerous projects (including Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds), wrote the screenplay, while John Williams composed the score. Emily Blunt stars as a TV meteorologist in Kansas City. Her co-stars include Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell, Elizabeth Marvel, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Michael Gaston, and Mckenna Bridger. Professional wrestlers Chavo Guerrero Jr., Lance Archer, and Brian Cage will also appear.
Thus far, Universal has kept plot details to a bare minimum in its marketing. The first trailer dropped during the Super Bowl and merely hinted at the premise. A second trailer released in March fleshed out just enough details to give us a clearer sense of what the movie is about: a longstanding government conspiracy to keep the existence of aliens secret—i.e., a “79-year terror campaign of lies.” But the aliens don’t seem to want to be a secret anymore, and there are a few plucky human allies willing to buck the system, most notably one Daniel Kellner (O’Connor).
