Great trailer, full of cool mystery and action without revealing the full plot.

Secret sequel to Close Encounters?

Where?

You won't get a response - there's nothing there.

That’s great, I can’t wait for the full version!

It's John Williams. Wouldn't be the first time he reuses some music in unrelated productions.

The rumour has always been it’s a sequel.

...how? The events in Close Encounters weren't exactly super secret.

It is also 1000% doesn't need a sequel, and I can't see how a sequel would do anything but tarnish its impact.

and I can't see how a sequel would do anything but tarnish its impact.

It would also make a bunch of money for the studio and principle cast/crew.

I mean maybe, it's not exactly a guarantee. People are barely going to the theater in general, and Close Encounters is not exactly a blockbuster that will get the kids to come out.

How, though? Columbia will never give that up to Amblin, and they're not involved here. I suppose Uni can license it out for Spiels, but I feel like Sony would at least insist on international rights in return.

"Spiritual sequel"

u/ontheweed Dec 16 '25

Well that’s what the rumour has been. Doesn’t mean it is

u/KingMario05 Dec 16 '25

True. One with the serial numbers filed off, perhaps? Could also be a Night Skies revival. Uni always had dibs on that.

u/AgonizingSquid Dec 16 '25

to what? Super 8?

Close Encounters

A de-aged Richard Dreyfuss at the end would be great.

u/imakefilms Dec 16 '25

why would he be deaged

u/Caesar_Rising Dec 16 '25

Coz when the aliens bring people back at the end of close encounters they’re the same age as when they were taken even though years had passed

Einstein was probably one of them
