Josh O’Connor On ‘Level Of Secrecy’ Spielberg Took For ‘Disclosure Day’

With the countdown on for Steven Spielberg‘s Disclosure DayJosh O’Connor has needed to maintain the small print of the top-secret script.

The Golden Globe winner lately revealed the lengths Spielberg took so as to not let any of the David Koepp-penned screenplay leak earlier than it premieres June 12 in theaters, recalling how he first acquired the pages whereas capturing Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery within the UK.

“There was, of course, a level of secrecy. When I received the script I was filming Knives Out and I was in a hotel and a motorbike turned up with the script, and a motorbike turned up to take away the script the next morning,” he recounted to the Associated Press. “That’s the first time that’s happened for me.”

O’Connor added, “It’s a very strange experience but it makes sense. You know, anytime you hear that Steven’s got a film coming out, everyone, myself included, wants to know what it is, so I totally understand why.”

Although the plot of Disclosure Day has largely been saved below wraps, the sci-fi thriller stars O’Connor as Daniel, a cyber safety skilled with entry to long-held authorities secrets and techniques about extraterrestrial life and plans to develop into a whistleblower.

Having beforehand explored life on different planets in Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and ET the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Spielberg defined this month at CinemaCon why he remains so intrigued by the subject.

“It’s entirely shrouded in mystery,” he informed Disclosure Day‘s Colman Domingo. “There are those who know exactly what is happening in our skies [and] “This movie will cause you to ask a lot of questions.”

Spielberg added, “This is a movie that needs to be experienced, and what you need to get from the beginning to the end is a seatbelt.”
