For a four-minute continuous shot where her character disintegrates and speaks an alien language, Blunt personally recorded a variety of organic sounds, including clicks, hums, and unusual breathing, which were subsequently refined by a sound designer. Disclosure Day, also starring Colin Firth and directed by Spielberg, is scheduled for release on 12 June and sees Blunt portray a Kansas City TV meteorologist overcome by an extraterrestrial force.
