Steven Spielberg has certainly stayed busy in recent years and he is not done yet. It has been announced that Spielberg is reuniting with screenwriter David Koepp, responsible for movies such as Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and War of the Worlds for a new film. While not much has been said about the new movie, it may be about UFOs and it has been given a release date of May 15, 2026. Universal Pictures is behind the film and calls it a “new original event film.”

Some of Spielberg’s recent films are The Fabelmans, The Color Purple and West Side Story plus television shows Halo and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. While many of his newer films received Oscar nominations, they did fare as well in the box office. West Side Story received $76 million against a $100 million budget, while The Fabelmans earned $45 million globally.
