Reports Point to John Williams Reuniting With Spielberg on Next Sci‑Fi Film

A Juilliard event remark spurred reports of the 93-year-old composer rejoining his longtime collaborator.

Overview

Juilliard president Damian Woetzel was quoted as saying Williams is in Los Angeles working with Steven Spielberg on the director’s next movie, a comment relayed via social media.
Outlets interpret the remark as Williams composing the score for Spielberg’s untitled UFO project, though no on-the-record studio confirmation has been issued.
If he scores the film, it would be the 30th feature collaboration between Williams and Spielberg, extending a partnership dating to 1974.
The Universal Pictures release was written by David Koepp and features Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, and Wyatt Russell.
Production wrapped in the summer of 2025, details remain tightly held, and the film is slated to open on June 12, 2026.
