"Top Gun: Maverick" director Joseph Kosinski and legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer are joining forces once again for a high-stakes UFO conspiracy thriller. Described as “All the President’s Men with UFOs”, the project has ignited a fierce bidding war among major studios, including Amazon, Apple, Lionsgate, Paramount, and Warner Bros., according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film is expected to follow a tense investigative narrative reminiscent of The X-Files, diving deep into government secrecy surrounding extraterrestrial encounters.
Adding to its intrigue, former U.S. Air Force officer and whistleblower David Grusch—who testified before Congress in 2023 about alleged government cover-ups involving alien spacecraft and bodies—is reportedly consulting on the project. Grusch’s involvement suggests a level of authenticity that could elevate the film beyond typical Hollywood sci-fi, making it a potential must-watch for fans of both investigative thrillers and UFO lore.
The screenplay has been penned by Zach Baylin, known for King Richard and Creed III, promising a gripping and well-crafted narrative. While no actors are currently attached, the aggressive bidding war signals major interest from top studios, increasing the likelihood of A-list casting once the project secures a home. Given Bruckheimer’s history of blockbuster hits and Kosinski’s knack for high-energy storytelling, expectations are sky-high.
Meanwhile, Kosinski is preparing for the release of his upcoming Formula 1 drama starring Brad Pitt, set to hit theaters in June. That project, backed by Apple and Warner Bros., further solidifies Kosinski’s reputation as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after directors. If this UFO thriller follows suit, it could be another major success in his growing filmography.
