As we’ve reported multiple times already, including as far back as December, Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day isn’t debuting at the Cannes Film Festival.

Festival chief Thierry Frémaux yesterday suggested in an interview that the door was still open for the anticipated movie to launch on the Croisette, but we have had it reconfirmed from multiple well-placed sources that that won’t be happening and has never been on the cards.

We love to see a major studio splash on the Riviera but sadly the auspices aren’t looking great so far this edition. As we’ve previously reported, Disclosure Day is one of a handful of buzzed about projects unlikely to make it to Cannes this year. That’s not to say there won’t be plenty of intriguing movies in the lineup and it doesn’t mean that studio movies are less likely to be at the fall festivals or at Cannes next year.

Universal’s sci-fi thriller Disclosure Day brings Spielberg back to the genre that spawned Close Encounters of the Third Kind and ET. Josh O’Connor, Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo and Eve Hewson star in the David Koepp script.

The pic, based on a story by Spielberg, hits theaters June 12. Producers are Kristie Macosko Krieger and Spielberg.

As the recent trailer revealed, O’Connor’s character has access to long-held government secrets around the existence of beings not on Earth (in the trailer, there are black-and-white flashes hinting at Roswell, NM). Hints spill out including via Blunt’s meteorologist, who begins inexplicably speaking in tongues while on air. The plan is to become a whistleblower and tell those secrets to all (“full disclosure”), something Firth’s character intends to stop.
