The countdown to the release of Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day has started among netizens. The film is slated to hit theatres on June 12, less than 100 days from now. It is going to be Spielberg's first release since 2022's The Fabelmans and brings him back to sci-fi territory after 2018's Ready Player One, hence the excitement is even more among the audience.
Earlier this Thursday, actor Anil Kapoor joined an internet user, sharing his excitement for the release of the film. A user named Cinema Tweets on X shared a clip from the climax of The Fabelmans in a Disclosure Day countdown post and described Spielberg as "the greatest filmmaker ever". Anil quote tweeted the post and wrote, "The great Spielberg," followed by a 'raising hands' emoticon to share his excitement for the upcoming film's release.
Steven Spielberg's film stars Emily Blunt as a meteorologist for a TV channel in Kansas City.
A line from the film's teaser goes like this, "If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?" In the teaser, Blunt's character becomes unable to speak amidst a news report and goes to a 'mind-freeze' mode. Elsewhere, another character, played by Josh O'Connor, says, "People have a right to know the truth. It belongs to seven billion people."
The teaser hints at a thriller about the arrival of extraterrestrial beings to Earth, a popular Spielberg staple that has been part of his films ever since 1977's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
The film reunites Spielberg with his longtime collaborator, scriptwriter David Koepp, after 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. In the Disclosure Day teaser, distributor Universal Pictures revealed that the films by Spielberg and Koepp, namely Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, minted over $3 billion at the global box office.
Besides Blunt and O'Connor, the film also stars Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo, among others.
