"Dishclosure Day."

[Jay 45,144]

The official press release tells us all the producers but not a word about the composer

 

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.

 

Universal Pictures is proud to release a new original event film created and directed by Steven Spielberg. The film stars SAG winner and Oscar^® nominee Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place), Emmy and Golden Globe winner Josh O’Connor (Challengers, The Crown), Oscar^® winner Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, Kingsman franchise), Eve Hewson (Bad Sisters, The Perfect Couple) and two-time Oscar^® nominee Colman Domingo (Sing Sing, Rustin).

 

Based on a story by Spielberg, the screenplay is by David Koepp, whose previous work with Spielberg includes the scripts for Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Combined, those films earned more than $3 billion worldwide. Koepp also wrote the script for this 2025’s Jurassic World Rebirth.

 

Disclosure Day is produced by five-time Academy Award^® nominee Kristie Macosko Krieger (The Fabelmans, West Side Story) and by Spielberg for Amblin Entertainment. The executive producers are Adam Somner and Chris Brigham.

 

Steven Spielberg is one of the industry’s most successful and influential filmmakers. The top-grossing director of all time, Spielberg has helmed such blockbusters as Jaws, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, the Indiana Jones franchise and Jurassic Park.

 

Among his myriad honors, he is a three-time Academy Award® winner, including Oscars® for Best Director and Best Picture for Schindler’s List, which received a total of seven Oscars®, and for Best Director for Saving Private Ryan. His most recent film, The Fabelmans, was released by Universal in 2022 and received seven Academy Award® nominations, including for Directing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Picture.

Looks awesome!

[mrbellamy 7,882]

Hell yeah

 

I'd gotten so used to thinking the title was just Disclosure that I thought Jay was announcing "It's Disclosure Day!" with the teaser arrival

[King Mark 3,907]

ooh this has the potential for a grand JW score. Now I'm excited about it and the trailer looks good.

 

I'm a little worried there's no mention of JW in the press release and this is generic trailer music not by him either.

[GerateWohl 6,395]

Is that now John Williams' music in the trailer?

Has he changed at last to the BWAAAM! side of the force?

[King Mark 3,907]

of course it's not JW music

[JohnnyD 1,746]

Wow... This looks amazing. While I am a bit disappointed that we did not get a taste of the Maestro's score in this teaser trailer, I am also kind of glad we did not. It builds up anticipation further. I cannot wait to see this film on the big screen, Dolby Cinema and/or IMAX!. This is THE film I am most looking forward to seeing in 2026.

[BB-8 5,944]

At any rate, I'm now no longer forced to buy a ticket for Avatar just to see this teaser...

 

It seems like part of my dream (nightmare) has come true:

 

"The guy QC-ing the trailer turned out to be a music student on a short-term scholarship. For some reason, he took me along to a cinema to watch the new preview. It opened with extended synthesizer chords, and I felt a wave of disappointment when I realized there was no Williams music. Then, suddenly, the “Ark Theme” from Raiders burst out as the camera panned across towards a cinema auditorium filled with colorful pop-art witches and Pirates of the Caribbean–style figures, all staring at their smartphones. I asked the QC-ing guy why they had chosen this theme instead of the Emperor’s Theme from Star Wars. He explained that there had been copyright issues, and that the Indiana Jones franchise offered more contractual flexibility. Moments later, the doors swung open and troops of “Men in Black” stormed in, snatching the devices from the crowd - except from those who had earplugs wired into the film itself. I woke up wondering whether Spielberg had ever made a “film within a film.” Of course, he had: The Fabelmans..."

We expected nothing less from you

They still haven’t managed to animate a red cardinal convincingly.

Not enough Comic Sans for my liking.

[filmmusic 3,012]

Hmmmmm...

I didn't understand anything from the teaser (Ok, I guess that's the idea!).

But I'm not sure yet it's something I will rush to the cinema (after many many years) to watch..

Maybe if it gets good reviews, but still...

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,640]

I've done this one

Sony's press release (to go with @Mr. Hooper's prize-winning cover design)

 

Step into the sonic universe of legendary guitarist John Williams like never before!

 

The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated epic Disclosure Day arrives in Dolby Atmos - exclusively for Disney+ and Apple subscribers. Because, a true legend deserves true exclusivity!

 

No CD. No vinyl. No cassette: In our enlightened streaming age, physical media is passé. For ecological reasons (and because your wife insists the shelf space is better used for plants), there will be no physical release.

But every streamed note counts. Each song you hear contributes to something greater: Maestro Williams will donate his entire royalties to the Great Ocean Forest Foundation, ensuring that while you can’t own the soundtrack personally, at least Yo Yo Ma get's his encore.

Aliens exist.  Catholics/Christians who traditionally have thought that human beings are the only persons in the material universe must either reject the faith or revise the faith to allow for other material persons.

I'm not good at detecting sarcasm, so I will take this as legitimate praise... I await my prize.

Simply convert to the Hindu faith.

Your prize: a non-diluted Williams shnaps after Patrick Doyle's show in Vienna (tickets not included).

Another advantage is you can't be killed.

Williams wrote 300 different combinations of swallowing and gulping sounds in an attempt to find the right one for the movie. Ultimately Williams settled on "K K K k Aaah", though "Aaa K K Aa K" and "K K Ah K K Ah" were close contenders.

Another collaboration with Stomu Yamash'ta on vocals?

@Jurassic Shark, this would be a good time to ask you for money...

 

@Tom's out.

The Movie looks great! I can't wait to hear the score! Summer 2026? I sure hope it's July 4th!

I'd have taken it.

I didn't understand the bit with Emily Blunt when she was trying to say the weather.

Is she an alien? 

[Tom 6,387]

My guess is that an alien is possessing her at that moment.  The aliens will, of course, turn out to be friendly.  

 

Or, maybe she just sucks at being a meteorologist.  

[King Mark 3,907]

I think they're possessed by aliens

[Bayesian 1,577]

This movie looks SO GOOD!! I’m so completely stoked for this! 😄😄

[Bespin Copilot 10,514]

I don't like the scene where a little girl, accompanied by a deer and other animals, are seen from behind as they walks toward a house.

Looks like one of the animals is about to fart in the next scene.

Is it a sequel for the world of Narnia... or the BFG? 

[LB Makes Stuff 341]

Pick your poison. I'll hit the main poster (black background) when the logo is inevitably cropped out and turned into a png.

Perhaps it's a remake of Pluribus…

[Maurizio 6,744]

For all the secrecy that was surrounding the film until now, this trailer seems to give away a lot all at once. Shame on you, studio marketing people.

 

Looking forward to JW’s score of course.

[Luke Skywalker 2,320]

Maybe the secrecy gimmick was just for "disclosure" the film's name, teaser and overall plot. 

[Tom 6,387]

There's a chance that everything in the trailer happens in the first 15 minutes and an unexpected and original movie follows.  However, I doubt it.  I think what we see is what we get with some not all that surprising twist in the final act.  

 

I am treating this like I did the SW sequels.  A movie whose chief function is to provides Williams with a canvas for great music.  If the film is any good, so much the better.

The only explanation is his score was rejected and Lorne Balfe is writing the replacement score as we speak.

[pete 1,298]

The trailer needed this music....

 

 

[Bellosh 4,489]

Spielberg: Johnny we need you for this

 

JW: oh Steven idk we've done UFOs so many times

 

Spielberg: Emily Blunt in a tight red dress.
