MOVIE NEWS – Excitement is building fast as the premiere of Disclosure Day gets closer. Film fans keep coming up with new theories about what surprising ideas Steven Spielberg may be bringing to the screen.

Judging by the trailers, the new sci-fi film is about extraterrestrials already being here and finally revealing themselves, so the main assumption until now was that the 79-year-old filmmaker might be revisiting one of his classics, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Now, however, sharp-eyed Spielberg watchers are claiming that Disclosure Day may actually have more in common with one of the director’s somewhat forgotten television works, as MovieWeb points out.

Taken, which aired in 2002 on the Sci-Fi Channel as a 10-part miniseries, followed three families across five decades and explored nearly every major alien-related conspiracy theory in circulation. The format of a television miniseries gave it room to unfold complex ideas carefully and in depth. Its starting point was the alleged Roswell UFO incident of 1947. According to the theory, a flying saucer crashed in the New Mexico desert, the military covered it up, and secret experiments began using the wreckage, with some versions of the story even claiming that the alien pilot was captured alive. The miniseries spends considerable time on alleged abductions by extraterrestrials and on the broader conspiracy narrative that governments and intelligence services try to hide vital information from the public, including the claim that aliens are already among us. Spielberg served as producer on the miniseries, and fans now suspect that Disclosure Day could act as a sharper, more direct continuation of the questions Taken raised, with Spielberg perhaps going further this time when it comes to the answers.
