First look at Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day featuring Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor

Disclosure Day trailer begins with Emily Blunt questioning about the chilling existence of other beings in the universe other than what they can already comprehend. She says:

"If you found out we weren't alone... if someone showed you, proved it to you... would that frighten you?"

Emily Blunt’s character, appearing as a local news weather reporter in Kansas City, walks onto a green-screen set and as she begins to speak, her speech becomes stuck in a repetitive loop, and her physical movements begin to "glitch" or stutter, mirroring a corrupted digital file.

The scene soon shifts to Josh O’Connor’s character saying:

"People have a right to know the truth. It belongs to 7 billion people".

With all the unsettling visuals featured in Spielberg’s Disclosure Day trailer, the upcoming sci-fi film appears to be a high-stakes thriller about the the truth of extraterrestrial life is a terrifying burden that belongs to all humanity.
