Here’s a major update on that mysterious Spielberg movie, which is still untitled. A reporter from DanielRPK has the first trailer attached to “Avatar: Fire and Ash” screenings starting December 19.
Maybe we’ll finally get a title. No word yet on when it could show up online, but between Nolan’s “The Odyssey” and “Avengers: Doomsday” having their respective trailers attached to “Fire and Ash,” and now Spielberg’s latest, buying a ticket to the third “Avatar” has no doubt become a tad more enticing for some moviegoers.
Footage of Spielberg’s film was recently unveiled during a special event at Universal Pictures, when they dedicated a new “Spielberg” theater. According to reports, the preview showed action sequences — including chase scenes, mysterious “men in black”‑style cars, and a dramatic car‑train crash escape involving Emily Blunt’s character.
Spielberg’s UFO film, which has been going by a few working titles — “Disclosure,” “The Dish,” and “Non-View” — will mark the filmmaker’s 30th collaboration with composer John Williams. Spielberg is also collaborating with “Jurassic Park” screenwriter David Koepp on this one, which quietly wrapped production in June.
There’s real mystery surrounding this sci-fi film, and Koepp recently hinted that it would return to the roots of Spielberg’s earlier work. The cast includes Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, and Wyatt Russell — and naturally, Spielberg regular Janusz Kamiński is the DP.
O’Connor recently compared the film to “old-school” Spielberg, name-checking “E.T.” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
Spielberg’s last film was 2022’s “The Fabelmans,” the most personal project of his career, which garnered positive reviews and a Toronto audience award to boot. That came after another critically acclaimed film, 2021’s “West Side Story,” which itself earned seven Oscar nominations.
The UFO film is set to release on June 12, 2026 via Universal.
