Emily Blunt explains those 'strange sounds' in Disclosure Day

  • Actress Emily Blunt declined to use artificial intelligence for a pivotal scene in Steven Spielberg's upcoming sci-fi film Disclosure Day, choosing instead to perform her character's alien vocalizations organically during a four-minute sequence.
  • Blunt revealed she was "terrified" that production bosses might utilize AI for the demanding scene, so she collaborated with a sound team to record clicking, humming, and breathing sounds using strategically placed microphones.
  • The sound designer finalized the audio after capturing the organic performance, allowing Disclosure Day's production to avoid artificial generation for the sequence where the meteorologist character disintegrates while speaking in a non-human language.
  • Director Steven Spielberg previously noted AI can perform "legwork" for filmmakers, but the 79-year-old emphasized: "Use AI as a tool, but do not use AI as the final word on anything creative."
  • Actor Matthew McConaughey issued a warning in February regarding technology's ability to "replace" actors, reflecting broader industry anxieties as Hollywood debates AI's role in cinema.
