Steven Spielberg directed two of the best alien films of all time: E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Now he's going back to those roots, as it were, with his latest blockbuster film, Disclosure Day. A full-length trailer aired during the Super Bowl LX broadcast last night.
Per the (deliberately vague) official premise: "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."
The trailer doesn't tell us much more than the logline. It opens with a newscast announcing the pending public release of "government material long shrouded in secrecy." We see a shot of a man standing in the middle of a crop circle that definitely wasn't made by humans. A little girl encounters a seemingly sentient deer in her bedroom as a voiceover wonders whether there could be "others." And what's with putting electrodes on people's temples so that their eyes change color? We'll find out in June.
