Steven Spielberg

And that's how I got that job.

So if they ever asked me to make a Bond film now, my answer would be, you can't afford me.

Woo!

I was on set with Richard.

Exactly.

I do believe that we are not alone in the cosmos, in the universe.

As far as do I believe that aliens are here and have been here, 50 years ago to make Close Encounters, I would have said, seeing is believing, and I haven't seen one.

I've not even seen the UFO.

But today...

I'm more inclined to say with all the smartphones that are out there and all the things that I've seen and all the people who I believe, I believe the believers, I am absolutely ready to say that I do believe that we are not alone here on this planet.

Well, one of the problems for me to make it was just that whistleblowers were now coming from higher levels of authority.

They were coming from the United States Air Force.

They were coming from Navy pilots.

They were coming from our intelligence community in Washington.

People were blowing the whistle and saying that the government has been hiding for decades the truth that we are not alone.

And I started believing those believers, not just the people, the rank and file people who have had close encounters of all kinds.

throughout all of these years that we've all been reading about.

Documentaries have been made about them.

The aerial school in Zimbabwe where those 60 kids had that phenomenal encounter with beings from off world.

So many things have happened that I am now really in a position to, I think, tell a story about it.
