| Steven Spielberg talks aliens in 'Disclosure Day' final trailer | Disclosure Day director Steven Spielberg appears in a final trailer for the film. The Oscar-winning filmmaker, 79, discusses the possibility of alien life in the preview released Wednesday. Disclosure Day is a new sci-fi feature from Spielberg, who previously featured aliens in his films Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). "I am much more inclined now than I was when I made Close Encounters to really believe that we're not the only intelligent civilization in the universe," Spielberg says in the trailer. "How will Disclosure change us? I believe for the better. It will remind us of our capacity for empathy, and that there is something bigger out there than just ourselves," he adds. |
