Could be a sequel, might not be...

Not really getting the vibe that it's a sequel, though I suppose anything's possible. Hopefully it's something new. It seems fromt he trailer there's at least some new scifi concepts in there, we'll see how those play out.
 
I agree that sequel might be a stretch, but could be set in the same timeline as CEot3K. I would kind of love it if Close Encounters and ET and this were all in the same timeline.

I will note that apparently there are some UFO folks out there who think that he and his films (and other UFO films) are part of a plot to prepare us all for a real life "Disclosure" of alien life. I am guessing he is riffing on that with this film.
 
Pretty unsettling for a Spielberg movie.

I found a new friend for you, @Damien. Bluesky poster on Nolan's Odyssey:

I can't tell if it's just me but these costume designs really do seem kinda...bad?

I'm still very interested in this film, and I like Nolan's work okay, but look: it would be really nice if movie directors remembered that human civilizations throughout time and space have generally been quite fond of things like "colored fabric"

There's a major design oppurtunity awaiting any filmmaker who wants to put something wild onscreen by drawing on what we know of actual bronze-age fashion, that's all I'm saying

I'm sure this article has been written, but I think there's something very interesting about contemprary ideas of the deep past being almost uniformly brown and bland when a lot of modern scholarship suggests quite the opposite

I'm very much the other side on that. I cannot imagine something I'd like less from Spielberg than making his stuff into a shared universe. I'm so desperate for more big new ideas in movies that aren't just ouroboros-ing into legacy media from 40+ years ago. We can do better.

One of the things I liked about Nope was that though it's undoubtedly in the vibe of a Spielberg film, it felt totally fresh.
 
Sometime, probably in our lifetime, SOMEONE will produce a series that makes all of his movies in the same universe with some fan service. Probably with the help of AI.

I 100% support that entire post.

I think I'm just tired of movie people deciding that history needs to be boring and drab to look at. Like.. why? Explain it to me. No one can ever just explain the logic beyond 'it's an artistic choice.' I want the WHY of it, and no one has that.
 
I'm not into Stephen King's works, but wasn't there a show about all his stuff being in the same New England town or something?

I like that as an idea. Not actually tying all of them together 'Glass' style, but just a side setting where that's the case.
 
@Ru1977, I figured I didn't know enough about his works to "get" it, but I liked the idea of it.

I don't know of a lot of authors that could thrive on something similar. Edgar Rice Burroughs, maybe? "Tarzan in Pellucidar"?

Decades back I caught a couple episodes of a show called "The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne" and wished I'd caught more. I wonder if it's streaming somewhere...
