As 'Disclosure Day' gets closer, Steven Spielberg is having some fun looking back on his lifelong obsession with aliens and all things mysterious. The legendary filmmaker is sharing how his curiosity about the unknown began early and never faded, shaping both his imagination and many of his most iconic movies.
In a behind-the-scenes video released by Universal Pictures on 9th February, the 79-year-old filmmaker reflects on how unexplained mysteries have always shaped his imagination and his work. From sharks to flying saucers, Spielberg says his movies often explore things that don't have clear answers.

Steven Spielberg's Curiosity in Aliens
Steven Spielberg explains that his curiosity started when he was very young. As a child, he would stare at the night sky and wonder what was happening beyond Earth. Over time, that curiosity turned into a strong belief that life exists somewhere else in the universe—not just as a possibility, but as something inevitable.
Spielberg first shared footage from 'Disclosure Day' in a teaser trailer released in December. The film stars Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Josh O'Connor, and Colman Domingo.
According to a 2024 report from Variety, the director developed the UFO-themed film from his own original idea, working with longtime collaborator David Koepp, the screenwriter behind 'Jurassic Park' and 'War of the Worlds.'

Increased Public Interest in Aliens
In the new video, Steven Spielberg suggests that public interest in what's happening in the skies—and beyond our planet—has grown stronger than ever. He says people are now deeply fascinated by the question of whether humans are truly alone in the universe, and why, if we are not alone, that information has never been fully shared.
'Disclosure Day' appears to tap directly into those questions. While the plot remains under wraps, the movie seems to focus on the global impact of official confirmation that extraterrestrial life exists both on and off Earth.
The film continues Spielberg's long history with science fiction. He became a Hollywood legend through classics like 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,' along with other films that explore extraordinary events, including alien invasions and the revival of dinosaurs.
