Variety reported in April 2024 that, according to sources,
Steven Spielberg's next project would be a UFO film based on his own original idea.
David Koepp would be writing the screenplay. Aliens and UFO's have long been a favorite topic of Spielberg. Just last year, he executive produced a limited Netflix series by the name of
Encounters: Témoins d'un autre type (2023), and prior to that he produced both
Disparition (2002) and
Falling Skies (2011). Years prior to that, he almost made another "mean aliens" movie by the name of Night Skies.
