Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Joseph Kosinski, the duo behind the seminal Top Gun: Maverick and the upcoming F1, set their eyes on UFOs for their new film. Deadline reports that it is a UFO-disclosure-themed film, in the vein of All the President's Men (1976).

All the President's Men was directed by Alan J Pakula. It follows the story of Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman), as they investigate the Watergate scandal for The Washington Post.

David Grusch, a former US Air Force intelligence officer and Pentagon official who gained attention for his claims about the US government's involvement with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena research (UAP, formerly UFO), is on board as a consultant and executive producer. Kosinski is directing the film from a screenplay by Zach Baylin, the Oscar-nominated writer behind King Richard, Creed III, and The Order.

Bruckheimer and Kosinski's future projects also include F1, a film about a rookie Formula One driver (Damson Idris) being mentored by a driver who comes out of retirement (Brad Pitt). Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Shea Whigham star in the film directed by Kosinski and produced by Bruckheimer.
