Who’s involved in Steven Spielberg’s UFO movie?
The untitled UFO movie is being directed by Spielberg from a screenplay written by Jurassic Park scribe David Koepp, based on a story by the Oscar-winning filmmaker. This marks Spielberg’s first sci-fi movie since directing the 2018 film adaptation of Ready Player One. It is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 12, 2026.
Besides Blunt and Russell, the ensemble cast will also include Josh O’Connor (The Crown), Colman Domingo (Rustin), Colin Firth (The King’s Speech), Eve Hewson (The Perfect Couple), and Noah Robbins (Fly Me to the Moon). It is produced by Spielberg and Kristie Macosko Krieger for Amblin Entertainment, along with Chris Brigham.
This will be Spielberg’s latest directorial feature project since helming 2022’s The Fabelmans, which was loosely based on his early life. The movie was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (Michelle Williams), and Best Supporting Actor (Judd Hirsch).
