An otherworldly force descends upon the Earth in a new image from Steven Spielberg‘s Disclosure Day, courtesy of EW.
Three other photos show Josh O’Connor (Wake Up Dead Man) as Daniel Kellner, a cyber-security expert on the run after stumbling upon highly-classified information, in the sci-fi film.
O’Connor describes his character as an “unglamorous hero” to EW. “We were trying to create a character that was fairly everyday — sort of an average Joe in some respects.”
He isn’t entirely ordinary, however. “He has this very special talent or skill that he’s almost unaware of — it’s become part of him over time,” O’Connor explains. “And as the film progresses, we start to see where that’s come from.”
O’Connor clarifies, “I think, actually, it’s less about the skills that he has. It’s more about where they came from that’s important.”
Part of that talent is his ability to understand the otherworldly communication delivered by Margaret Fairchild, a journalist-turned-weather presenter at the center of a bizarre on-air incident, played by Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place).
Disclosure Day also stars Colin Firth (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Eve Hewson (Bridge of Spies), Colman Domingo (The Running Man), and Wyatt Russell (“Monarch: Legacy of Monsters”).
David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Spider-Man) penned the script, based on a story by Spielberg.
Spielberg produces for Amblin Entertainment alongside Kristie Macosko Krieger (Ready Player One, The Fabelmans). Adam Somner (Ready Player One, Bridge of Spies) and Chris Brigham (Inception, Shutter Island) executive produce.
Invading theaters and IMAX on June 12, Disclosure Day is rated PG-13 for “action/violence, some bloody images, and strong language.”
