The iconic Steven Spielberg has been focusing more on human dramas as of late, except for the occasional special effects-laden vehicles like Ready Player One and The BFG — even sitting out Indiana Jones for the first time with the last entry, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. However, Deadline has now revealed that Universal Pictures has reserved a release date for May 15, 2026, for what is being described as an “original event film” that has been created by and will be directed by Spielberg.
It is not revealed what the event film is. However, it was reported last month that Spielberg would reunite with frequent collaborator David Koepp for an original UFO movie that has been kept very secretive. The UFO movie is said to be based on Steven Spielberg’s own original idea and that David Koepp is writing the screenplay. Unfortunately, that would be all the information given at this point. However, some of Spielberg’s most iconic films include alien-centric movies like Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Koepp has penned a handful of Spielberg movies, including Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The screenwriter-turned-director is also currently churning out a new Jurassic World entry for Universal.
In addition to this project, it was also reported that Spielberg has also been working on a new movie based on Bullitt, the classic action thriller starring Steve McQueen. The project received an update late last year from Kristie Macosko Krieger, one of Spielberg’s producing partners. “I’m producing it. Steven [Spielberg] and Josh Singer, who is writing the script, they are working on the story,” Krieger said. “I hope we have a script soon as the writers’ strike put us behind a bit. But they are working on it – I couldn’t tell you if it’s the next movie we are making as I don’t know at this point. I think that it will be a wildly entertaining film.“
Based on Mute Witness by Robert L. Fish, the original film starred Steve McQueen as a no-nonsense San Francisco cop who becomes determined to track down the underworld kingpin who killed the witness in his protection. Spielberg will direct the new Bullitt movie as well as produce it, with Josh Singer writing the script. Bradley Cooper is set to star in the project as Frank Bullitt. However, it won’t necessarily be a remake of the original 1968 film, but will instead tell an original story with the Frank Bullitt character at its center. Steve McQueen’s children, Chad and Molly McQueen, will executive produce the Bullitt project, as will Bradley Cooper.

6PM: Exterminators of the Year 3000
8PM: Mystery Science Theater 3000: Escape 2000 (Escape from the Bronx)
10PM: Mystery Science Theater 3000: Robot Holocaust
Warlords of the 21st Century / Battletruck (1982) was directed by Harley Cokeliss has the following synopsis: A biker (Michael Beck) running on chicken-made methane fights an outlaw (James Wainwright) whose battle-truck guzzles fuel.
Dune Warriors (1991) came to us from Cirio H. Santiago and told this story: The army of a warlord meets the wrath of a farmer (David Carradine) on the wasteland of Earth in the year 2040.
Santiago also directed Wheels of Fire (1985), telling this story: There are no rules and no place to hide from the deadly Highway Warriors who ravage the roads in machines of destruction; but one warrior will stand up against impossible odds, with help from his flame-spewing, nuclear-charged, armored automobile.
Directed by Allan Arkush and Nicholas Niciphor, 1978’s Deathsport was about ranger guides (David Carradine, Claudia Jennings) on horseback who wield transparent swords against 30th-century motorcycle gladiators.
Directed by Giuliano Carnimeo, Exterminators of the Year 3000 was released in the year 1983. Here’s the synopsis: In a post-apocalyptic future, water is regarded as a valuable asset. An outpost where water is present causes a battle between a group of people, led by a stranger, and a motorcycle gang.
Also a 1983 release was director Enzo G. Castellari’s Escape 2000 (Escape from the Bronx): A newswoman (Valeria D’Obici) and a Bronx warrior (Mark Gregory) fight an exterminator (Henry Silva) of borough residents in the year 2000.
Tim Kincaid directed the 1986 release Robot Holocaust, which was about survivors of devastation who must find a way to regroup after robots revolt against their human masters on New Terra.
It’s worth noting that Robot Holocaust was produced by Full Moon founder Charles Band back during his Empire Pictures days, while we have legendary producer Roger Corman (who, sadly, just passed away earlier this month) to thank for Warlords of the 21st Century / Battletruck, Wheels of Fire, and Deathsport.
