John Williams Reported to Score Steven Spielberg’s Untitled UFO Film

A remark from Juilliard’s president is driving the reports, with no studio confirmation to date.

Overview

  • Juilliard president Damian Woetzel said Williams is working with Spielberg on the director’s next movie, according to musician and writer Doug Adams, who relayed the comment from a campus event.
  • Universal declined to comment on Williams’ involvement, and neither the studio nor the composer has issued a formal announcement.
  • If realized, the score would represent Williams and Spielberg’s 30th feature collaboration and a notable late‑career return for the 93‑year‑old composer.
  • Spielberg’s film is written by David Koepp and features Emily Blunt with Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo and Wyatt Russell in the cast.
  • Universal has dated the untitled film for June 12, 2026, after a production that reportedly wrapped in summer 2025 and included a brief sizzle reel screened on the studio backlot.
