British actor Josh O'Connor found working on Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure Day" to be a surreal and dreamlike experience. The film, scheduled for a June 12 theatrical release, is speculated to delve into narrative threads left unresolved by Spielberg's classic "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." O'Connor portrays Daniel, a cybersecurity expert possessing critical information.
Daniel shares a mysterious, initially unrecognized bond with Emily Blunt's meteorologist character. The narrative centers on their connection, with Daniel acting as an unconventional hero who adapts to extraordinary circumstances. The production maintained significant secrecy, with O'Connor receiving the script under tight security measures.
O'Connor recounted a particularly memorable moment involving a late-night text from Spielberg. Intended for his wife, the message about a "door on the latch, just push" provided O'Connor with the perfect emotional key for a challenging scene. This humorous misunderstanding ultimately unlocked the performance, becoming a cherished "Spielberg story" for the actor.
