Steven Spielberg showcases action-packed scenes from his upcoming untitled movie
Steven Spielberg may be in his 70s, but retirement is not on his list. At a special event in Los Angeles on June 26, he showed the first behind-the-scenes look at his next film. It happened during a grand moment, Universal named a brand-new screening room after him. The event saw many big names in the audience, Vin Diesel, Jeff Goldblum, Ava DuVernay, Seth Rogen, and more. Spielberg stood on stage and said the theatre dedication meant a lot, calling it a full-circle moment since Universal gave him his first break over 50 years ago. Emily Blunt steals the spotlight in dramatic clip While the new movie is still untitled, the footage got everyone excited. Spielberg didn't confirm the rumoured UFO theme, but the scenes gave hints. Emily Blunt's character, caught in a tense situation, was chased by men in black cars. At a crucial point, her car crashes into a speeding train. She and co-star Josh O'Connor barely escape through the windshield. Footage of Steven Spielberg's film starring Emily Blunt was revealed: In a sequence with Josh O'Connor, Blunt's busted sedan collides with a speeding train. They attempt an escape through the broken windshield as the vehicle gets chewed alive between screeching metal & tracks. There were explosions, farmhouses getting wrecked, and eerie control rooms that looked like something out of a space lab. Colin Firth looked like the villain, calm and scary, possibly leading some underground mission. The tone felt dark and gripping. Steven Spielberg still has stories to tell The film also stars Colman Domingo and Eve Hewson, but their roles weren't fully clear in the preview. Spielberg said the movie is coming in 2026 and he's still excited about telling big stories. He praised young filmmakers too but avoided naming favourites, saying too many impress him right now. As he sees the official opening of his namesake theatre on the Universal lot, Steven Spielberg says he has no plans to retire…ever… from making movies. Talking about Ryan Coogler's recent film Sinners, Spielberg said, 'It's a personal story and a big crowd-pleaser too. That gives me hope for the future of movies in theatres.' A night to remember at Universal The new 'Spielberg Theater' seats 250 people and has all the latest tech, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and can even show old-school 35mm and 70mm films. After the dedication, guests enjoyed sushi and cocktails, while an exhibit showed off props from Spielberg's movies. Fans saw the original E.T. bike and Laura Dern's outfit from Jurassic Park.
