During the festival, he officially declared his belief in extraterrestrial existence. And he announced his next blockbuster revolving around this theme.
The iconic Hollywood director, Steven Spielberg, took the stage at the SXSW film festival in Austin, openly sharing his contemplations on the potential for non-terrestrial civilizations. This was reported by People magazine.
The filmmaker admitted that he possesses no classified information, yet he is intuitively certain: intelligent life is not confined solely to our planet. According to the maestro, it would be a naive fallacy to assume Earthlings are the universe’s sole thinking beings.
The subject of cosmic visitors is a recurring motif throughout Spielberg’s body of work. His notable achievements include the beloved “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” the epic “War of the Worlds,” and the mysterious “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” The director attributed this profound interest to his childhood experiences: the starry heavens beckoned him from a young age with their unsolved mysteries, sparking dreams of distant worlds.
The premiere of Spielberg’s newest production, “Day of Revelation,” is slated for June 12, 2026. This film focuses on humanity’s fateful encounter with beings from an alien intelligence.
