Production

In April 2024, it was announced that Steven Spielberg's next directing project would be a UFO film based on his own original idea, with David Koepp, who worked with Spielberg on multiple films, writing the screenplay. In May, Universal Pictures was set to distribute. The following month, Emily Blunt was reported to be in talks to join in the lead role. She was confirmed to star in August. From August to December, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell, and Josh O'Connor were cast. Bridger quietly joined the cast and O'Connor was offered his role without having to audition. Henry Lloyd-Hughes also quietly joined the cast and was offered his part without an audition.

In March 2025, it was announced that Paul Tazewell would serve as costume designer, in his second collaboration with Spielberg following West Side Story (2021).

Filming

Principal photography began on February 26, 2025, in New Jersey, Atlanta, New York City and Huntington under the title Non-View. A casting call for Long Island–based background actors to play "wrestling fans" for a scene to be shot on March 4, 2025, was issued on January 16, 2025. Subsequent casting calls in March 2025 sought background talent in the Hudson Valley area of New York state and the Middlesex County area of New Jersey; the Middlesex County casting call exclusively requested participants who could drive their own vehicles in the film, while the Hudson Valley casting call also requested actors to play diner patrons and hotel guests. Additional casting calls sought actors to play North Korean soldiers.

Filming was also conducted in March 2025 on the Cape May Seashore Lines railroad in southern New Jersey. In early April, filming took place in the McGinley Square neighborhood of Jersey City. Screenwriter David Koepp stated that production on the film had wrapped in late May and that Spielberg had written the initial story treatment before collaborating with Koepp.

Music

By October 2025, John Williams had been hired to compose the score for the film, making this his thirtieth collaboration with Spielberg.

Marketing

Marketing for the film began in December 2025, revealing the tagline "All Will Be Disclosed" along with the film's June 12 release date. On December 16, it was officially revealed that the film would be called Disclosure Day, alongside the release of the trailer. A new trailer was aired during the Super Bowl LX broadcast on February 8.
