\n\tWith the countdown on for Steven Spielberg<\/a>\u2018s Disclosure Day<\/a>, Josh O\u2019Connor has had to keep the details of the script top-secret.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Golden Globe winner recently revealed the lengths Spielberg took in order not to let any of the David Koepp-penned screenplay leak before it premieres June 12 in theaters, recalling how he first received the pages while shooting Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery in the UK.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere 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,\u201d he recounted to the Associated Press<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s the first time that\u2019s happened for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tO\u2019Connor added, \u201cIt\u2019s a very strange experience but it makes sense. You know, anytime you hear that Steven\u2019s got a film coming out, everyone, myself included, wants to know what it is, so I totally understand why.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlthough the plot of Disclosure Day has largely been kept under wraps, the sci-fi thriller stars O\u2019Connor as Daniel, a cyber security expert with access to long-held government secrets about extraterrestrial life and plans to become a whistleblower.<\/p>\n

\n\tHaving previously explored explored life on other planets in Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Spielberg explained this month at CinemaCon why he remains so intrigued<\/a> by the topic.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s entirely shrouded in mystery,\u201d he told Disclosure Day\u2018s Colman Domingo. \u201cThere are those who know exactly what is happening in our skies [and] this movie will cause you to ask a lot of questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpielberg added, \u201cThis is a movie that needs to be experienced, and what you need to get from the beginning to the end is a seatbelt.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the countdown on for Steven Spielberg\u2018s Disclosure Day, Josh O\u2019Connor has had to keep the details of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417489,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,108390,146,85,46,107343,15864],"class_list":["post-417488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-disclosure-day","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-josh-oconnor","tag-steven-spielberg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417488"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417488\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
