steven spielberg's untitled ufo movie gets release date and award-winning screenwriter

Steven Spielberg

Spielberg's UFO film will also compete with Star Wars and the MCU.

Back in April, it was reported that legendary director Steven Spielberg is setting out to make another UFO-related movie as his next project. Those who are not aware, he is the one responsible for cult-classic UFO films 'Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind', 'War of the Worlds', and 'E.T.' But Spielberg hadn't really touched on this topic for a long time and we finally have a date in which this film will be released. We also have new information on who will be the movie's script writer as well as the franchise films with which he will compete. Although the project hasn't been titled yet, we already know this will be his UFO-themed movie but details on the project haven't been revealed yet.

Steven Spielberg get a world-class script writer

According to Collider, Steven Spielberg is joining forces with famed screenplay writer David Koepp. To those who don't know, Koepp is the one who write 'Jurassic Park' and 'War of the Worlds'. The ones who are convinced this next film will be about UFOs is Variety. Another aspect of this film release is that Steven Spielberg's new film will ompete in 2026 with the likes of the 'Avengers: Kang Dynasty' and 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' films. Both of those come out close to each other and Spielberg's film is set to release officially on August 15, 2026. It'll be a historic summer blockbuster year now that we add this Spielberg movie to the slate.

Potential storytelling routes for Steven Spielberg

As far as the topics involved with his next project or what the UFO movie will be about, there are also clues that might point at two directions Spielberg could take. Given that the movie will be released by Universal, we are still trying to find out if this is the same project Tom DeLonge's books are based from. Last year, DeLonge revealed Legendary Pictures picked up his 'Sekret Machines' fiction books about the UFO topic. Another route Spielberg might take is the one that deals with the 'Future Human' hypothesis, which is explained in great detail on Dr. Michael P. Masters 'Extratempestrial Model' book.

Last but not least, Dr. Diana Pasulka's 'American Cosmic' book that deals with the enigmatic story of NASA scientist Dr. Timothy Taylor could be a source material too. The reality is that we have infinite source material to choose from but Steven has likely already picked his story to tell. Which ever road the acclaimed director decides to take, both of these are options that should make an impact in viewers. But then again, when hasn't a Steven Spielberg UFO movie made a profound impact?
