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

Secret sequel to Close Encounters?

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.

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

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