The Maestro Returns

John Williams, the most celebrated film composer in history, is confirmed to compose the original score for Disclosure Day. This marks another chapter in his legendary 50+ year collaboration with Steven Spielberg.

Williams has scored nearly every Spielberg film since The Sugarland Express (1974), creating some of cinema's most iconic music: the shark theme from Jaws, the wonder of E.T., and the five-note alien communication motif from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Full Circle

Disclosure Day marks Williams' return to alien first contact themes nearly 50 years after Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). The potential for musical callbacks has fans excited.
