The latest trailer for Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, ahem, discloses a bit more information about the film’s plot than its initial teaser.
According to the trailer, Josh O’Connor plays a whistleblowing cybersecurity administrator who’s planning to reveal the sensitive information he’s paid to protect. The information? That humans aren’t alone in the universe.
Soon, he’ll be mixed up in a vast fight for the truth, and he won’t be alone. He’ll team up with a Kansas City TV meteorologist (Emily Blunt) who begins emitting alien clicking sounds while on air. His acquaintance Jane (Eve Hewson) also gets wrapped up in things, crossing paths with a menacing administrator (Colin Firth) who appears to be able to project himself anywhere in the world thanks to a machine he’s wired up to. Said machine also seems to give him mind control powers and the ability to change his eye color, making it a Swiss Army knife of cool powers. (That doesn’t mean I’d like to cross paths with anyone using it, though.)
The rest of the trailer is chock-full of intriguing imagery, from crop circles to a mysterious deer leading a young girl toward a glowing door. Do I know what’s going on? No. Do I trust Spielberg to deliver another alien banger? Given that he’s behind E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, that’s going to be an absolute “yes.”
Disclosure Day was written by Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, from a story by Spielberg. Colman Domingo and Wyatt Russell also star.
Disclosure Day hits theaters June 12.
