Mysterious Trailer Teases ‘Close Encounters Of The Third Kind’ Re-Release

16th November sees Steven Spielberg’s 1977 classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind celebrate its 40th anniversary and this video, released on Monday, teases a possible return to the big screen.

Sony Pictures released a mysterious trailer Monday titled “This means something,” meant to tease an exclusive theatrical re-release in time for its 40th anniversary, EW has learned.

The video — which you can watch above — features air traffic controllers tracking a colorful, unexplained craft of some kind slowly descending before simply disappearing. Interspersed throughout are “flashes” of scenes from the 1977 movie (below). In the final seconds, the site address for WeAreStillNotAlone.com flashes across the screen, with the page it leads to asking visitors to “sign up” for news on UFO sightings.
