Apple Secures Major UFO Film Project by Kosinski, Bruckheimer

Apple Original Films has secured the rights to an untitled UFO disclosure thriller directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, following a competitive bidding war that involved numerous major studios. The film, which is based on a screenplay by Zach Baylin, will explore government secrecy surrounding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) and is described as a UFO-themed take on the classic film 'All the President’s Men.' Former U.S. Air Force officer David Grusch, known for his whistleblower claims regarding government UAP research, will serve as an executive producer and consultant on the project. This deal follows the duo’s collaboration on the upcoming Formula One racing film 'F1,' which is set to be released in theaters on June 27, 2025. The financial terms of the deal are substantial, with Kosinski reportedly securing an eight-figure sum that positions him among Hollywood's top directors. The project represents a significant shift in focus within the film industry towards more speculative and politically charged narratives surrounding UAPs.
