STEVEN SPIELBERG on ‘The Big Picture’ podcast (forum post)
“I have a very strong, sneaking suspicion that we are not alone here on Earth right now and I made a movie about that.” (…) “I think our movie does take into consideration, without giving too much away, the social dislocation that could occur, theologically, if it would be announced that there’s evidence — not only evidence, interaction that’s been going on for decades that we are just now finding out about. It’s gonna cause a disruption in a lot of belief systems, but I don’t think it is a lethal disruption at all.”
