A Story Inspired by Questions Beyond Earth
Spielberg’s fascination with life beyond our planet has long influenced his work. From the wonder of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial to the mystery of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the filmmaker has continually explored the possibility that humanity is not alone in the universe.
Now, with Disclosure Day, Spielberg revisits that curiosity from a more personal and reflective perspective.
“I am much more inclined now, than when I made Close Encounters, to really believe that we are not the only intelligent civilization in the universe,” he shares in the trailer.
The film imagines a world shaken by the public revelation of a long-hidden extraterrestrial conspiracy. As governments lose control of the narrative and global uncertainty spreads, ordinary people are forced to confront a reality that changes life on Earth forever.
An All-Star Cast Faces the Unknown
Leading the film’s powerhouse ensemble are Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo. Together, they portray individuals caught in the middle of a historic moment that challenges everything humanity believes about itself.
Blending suspense, emotion, and Spielberg’s signature sense of wonder, Disclosure Day promises a thrilling cinematic experience that asks one powerful question: What happens when the truth can no longer stay hidden?
Disclosure Day arrives in Philippine cinemas on June 10.
Steven Spielberg returns to the sci-fi genre with Disclosure Day, a suspense-filled new film starring Academy Award nominee Emily Blunt and Emmy winner Josh O’Connor. Opening in Philippine cinemas on June 10, the film explores a world on the edge after shocking evidence confirms the existence of extraterrestrial life.
At the center of the story is Margaret Fairchild, played by Blunt, a Kansas City weather reporter whose quiet career suddenly collides with secrets powerful enough to alter humanity forever. Alongside her is Dr. Daniel Kellner, portrayed by O’Connor, a gifted cybersecurity specialist working for the mysterious agency known as WARDEX.
Hidden deep within the military-industrial system, WARDEX is responsible for suppressing all evidence connected to alien encounters on Earth. But as Margaret and Daniel uncover dangerous truths, they find themselves pulled into a conspiracy far greater than they ever imagined.
Screenwriter David Koepp reveals that Spielberg wanted every character to feel authentic and emotionally layered.
“Steven was very insistent on making our heroes and all the characters as rich and complex as possible,” Koepp says. “He was always asking: ‘Who are these people? Let’s find the details and bits of behavior that can express a very specific character, not just a functional archetype.’”
Koepp adds that the film’s emotional depth makes the mystery even more compelling.
“Characters who have secrets are great fun to write and fun for the audience. They keep you leaning forward to find out what those secrets are. Even better is a character who is a mystery to themselves, because that is a compelling problem to have.”
Emily Blunt Learns New Languages for the Role
Margaret’s search for meaningful journalism soon transforms into a fight for survival as powerful groups attempt to silence her discoveries. The role demanded extensive preparation from Blunt, who learned both Korean and Russian for the film.
She also collaborated closely with Spielberg to create a unique language used for communication with non-human lifeforms, adding another fascinating layer to the movie’s world-building.
Josh O’Connor Joins Spielberg’s Sci-Fi Vision
O’Connor’s Daniel Kellner is a brilliant but troubled cybersecurity expert with a criminal past. Though recruited by WARDEX as a consultant, Daniel ultimately questions the agency’s motives and risks everything to expose the truth.
The actor recalls immediately saying yes when Spielberg invited him to discuss the project.
“I was finishing up press for Challengers when my agent called and asked: ‘What are you doing tomorrow? Might you be free for a meeting?’ I was like: ‘Absolutely not, I need a break.’ They said: ‘It’s Steven Spielberg.’ I was like, ‘Yep, I’m free,’” O’Connor recalls with humor.”
The actor was especially drawn to the dynamic between the two lead characters.
“I was intrigued by the Margaret-Daniel relationship: they are two very different people who do not know each other at all, but there is something bringing them together, something that addresses deep needs they may not recognize, something that benefits everyone. I was instantly hooked and could not wait to read what he and David were putting on the page.”
Opens in Philippine Cinemas June 10

A Return to the Wonders of the Unknown
For Spielberg, Disclosure Day marks a meaningful return to themes he first explored in his 1977 classic, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. While the new film stands on its own, it revisits humanity’s endless fascination with life beyond Earth and the questions that continue to haunt us decades later.
“During Close Encounters of the Third Kind, I would say to myself: “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all of this turned out to be true?’” Spielberg says. ”Almost 50 years later, I’m now thinking: ‘Wouldn’t be it be wonderful for us to actually know that all of this is true?’”
That curiosity has been with Spielberg since childhood. Recalling a formative memory, the director shares how a meteor shower sparked his lifelong obsession with the cosmos.
“I remember one summer, my dad took me out to look at the annual Perseid meteor shower when we were living in New Jersey,” Spielberg shares. “Overnight, I developed a real curiosity about what is happening up there in the stars, on some planet orbiting in any number of countless solar systems, and if one of them might have a civilization that was advanced enough to travel the universe.”
Truth, Secrecy, and the Modern World
Though packed with large-scale sci-fi spectacle, Disclosure Day also reflects many of today’s real-world anxieties. The film examines misinformation, hidden agendas, and society’s struggle to separate truth from manipulation.
“Disclosure Day is a movie about misinformation and the challenge of finding truth in a culture when powerful people have tools to blur the lines of fact and fiction, of what is real and unreal, in service of protecting and advancing their agendas,” Spielberg says. “It’s a movie that also asks questions about what we do with truth that expands our understanding of the universe in a way that challenges the beliefs that give us meaning, including religion.
The director also points to the lasting influence of classic conspiracy storytelling.
“The X-Files taught us that the truth is out there, but what happens when we find it? Can we accept it? Do we reject it? Will it bring us together or divide us further?”
At its emotional core, however, Spielberg says the film is ultimately about empathy and shared understanding.
I think Disclosure Day is a story about empathy as an extraordinary resource, and how it needs to be shared globally, with the entire world, not hoarded for self-interest or reserved for those closest to us.”
An All-Star Cast Powers the Sci-Fi Thriller
Academy Award-nominated actress Emily Blunt leads the ensemble cast alongside Josh O’Connor and Oscar winner Colin Firth. Joining them are Eve Hewson and Colman Domingo, adding even more depth to the highly anticipated film.
Combining emotional storytelling, timely themes, and Spielberg’s signature cinematic scale, Disclosure Day is poised to become one of the year’s most talked-about movie events.

The master of cinematic spectacle, Steven Spielberg, and iconic screenwriter David Koepp are reuniting to reshape the future of dinosaurs in Jurassic World Rebirth, roaring exclusively into Philippine cinemas on July 2, 2025.
Three decades after Spielberg first captivated the world with Jurassic Park (1993), he returns as Executive Producer to steer the franchise into uncharted territory. Alongside him is Koepp, the original Jurassic Park screenwriter, crafting a story that’s both a thrilling reboot and a loving nod to the legacy.
“We wanted a film that felt like a fresh start while remaining in the world of the previous films,” says producer Frank Marshall, who has been the longtime producer of the franchise. “We continue to develop the idea that ‘life finds a way’ with a different kind of story that combines heist-movie adventure with creature-feature horror. We have new characters, a new setting, and new dinosaurs, some of which have gone very, very bad. At the same time, what I find exciting about Rebirth is that it finds a tone that harkens back to the original Jurassic Park. And that has a lot to do with the creative team we assembled for this one.”

A Bold New Era: Dinosaurs, Danger & Life’s Greatest Mystery
Set five years after the explosive events of Jurassic World Dominion, the earth’s ecology has shifted, leaving dinosaurs to survive only in isolated equatorial zones mimicking prehistoric climates.
But hidden within the DNA of the planet’s three most colossal creatures—rulers of land, sea, and sky—is the key to something extraordinary: a life-saving drug that could revolutionize medicine and extend human life.
The concept was sparked by Koepp’s real-life curiosity about dinosaurs’ biological resilience. “While doing research, I found that certain dinosaurs, larger ones in particular, did have extraordinarily long lifespans and the reason was they had remarkably low incidences of heart disease,” says Koepp. “That led to the idea that a drug could be synthesized from their DNA, because the greatest killer of humans is heart disease. The nice thing about that premise was that it was true to the core theme, ‘life finds a way.’ Life extension! Everyone can get onboard with that! To me, that seemed a valid reason—combined with the promise of a massive payday for the covert operations team—for smart, competent people to take the risk of going on an adventure into the most dangerous place in the world.”
Back to the Roots: Plausible Science, Real Humor & Dinosaur Mayhem
Spielberg and Koepp meticulously followed their unwritten rules for a true Jurassic film: stay grounded in science, maintain continuity, and never forget the humor.
“Humor is oxygen for movies like these,” Koepp says. “Not in a self-conscious way, but in an utterly believable, character-oriented way. To me there’s nothing funnier in films like these where you have characters trying to stay calm in the face of extreme peril by understating it.”
Jurassic World Rebirth Roars into Philippine Cinemas July 2!
Mark your calendars! Get ready for prehistoric thrills, heart-pounding adventure, and a story that reimagines what it means when life finds a way.
