According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, Spielberg stated: \u201cI don’t know more than any of you, but I have a strong suspicion that we are not alone here on Earth right now \u2014 and I’ve made a movie about that\u201d<\/strong>.\n\nThe filmmaker elaborated on his stance when referring to the recent viral comment by former President Barack Obama<\/strong> regarding the possibility of aliens being real. Spielberg interpreted the statement as support for the theme of his new film and stated: \u201cThis is perfect for The Day of Revelation.\u201d<\/strong>\n\nAlthough Obama later qualified his words to refer to life in the cosmos, Spielberg insisted on the relevance of the question: \u201cNobody should ever think that we are the only intelligent civilization in the entire universe. So, since I was a child, I have thought that we were not alone. That’s obvious. The big question is: Are we alone now? Have we been alone for the last 80 years? Have we been alone for the last thousands of years?\u201d. \n\nWe recommend reading:\n\n\n

The Inspirations for His New Alien Movie<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nThe director referred to the influence of journalistic reports and recent parliamentary hearings on his new film, especially the investigation published in 2017 in The New York Times<\/em> about secret U.S. government programs dedicated to tracking unidentified flying objects (UFOs).\n\nHowever, with humor, he admitted that he has never witnessed a phenomenon of this type, despite his desire: “I made a film called ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind,’ and I haven’t even had a close encounter, not even of the first or second kind!”<\/strong> Why haven’t I seen anything? Half of my friends have seen UFOs or unidentified aerial phenomena. Where is the justice in that? If they’re listening to me.”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
