The filmmaker who defined alien cinema with Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. returns to the genre. After two intimate films, he is preparing to shoot a new story about visitors from other worlds. Although there are no official details, sources point to a realistic science fiction project, far removed from fantasy.
Technical development: between analog and digital 🎥
Spielberg seeks to recapture the sense of wonder with practical effects, minimizing excessive CGI. According to leaks, the shoot will use life-size models and animatronics, combined with high-resolution LED screens for backgrounds. The director wants the creatures to have physical weight, as in his early work. The ILM team is already preparing mechanical prototypes for key sequences.
The return of the invisible friend we were all waiting for 👽
Because yes, after telling us historical dramas and semi-autobiographies, Spielberg has decided that his thing is green aliens. I mean, why talk about human feelings when you can have a gelatinous being saying Frodo in a squeaky voice? Of course, let's hope this time he doesn't accidentally let out an E.T. phone home in the middle of a serious scene.
