Even the Plot Is Classified, Like an FBI File: What Is Already Known About Spielberg's New Film and Why It Is Secret

Director Steven Spielberg produces masterpieces almost every time. His films are praised by both critics and viewers. It is not surprising that his new project attracts so much attention. But all information about it is kept secret. Let's figure out why.

Is Spielberg returning to his favorite topic again?

The project that Steven Spielberg has been working on lately is becoming overgrown with rumors at such a speed as if the director himself had conceived it. Formally, the film has not yet been presented, there is no plot, no trailer, not even a genre. But fans are sure: it will be fantasy. In 2024, sources reported that the film is related to the theme of UFOs and extraterrestrial civilizations, which refers to the director's early hits - like E.T. And in June 2025, co-writer David Koepp said mysteriously:

"This is a very emotional movie."

Still nothing is clear.

The cast is already intriguing

The cast alone speaks volumes about the scale. The film stars Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson and Wyatt Russell - names that can bring any plot to the big screen, even if it's as classified as a Pentagon case. Who plays whom is unknown. But the fact that a team of British sophistication, American brutality and Irish temperament has assembled already promises fire.

When to expect the premiere

The official release date of Spielberg's film is June 12, 2026. This means that we have exactly one year to guess, theorize and rewatch the master's old films to try to guess what he actually made his new "secret" film about.
